Michelle Kollar: July 2010
http://michellekollar.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
I'm on Twitter: MichelleKollar. Friday, July 16, 2010. Do I have perfect pitch? I'll be attending a conference soon and I've been honing not only my pitch but a hook that will extend my five minutes to hopefully fifteen. The scene from the Christmas story comes to mind when Ralphie turns in his essay on what he wants for Christmas and he daydreams about his masterpiece. Gaining praise and approval of his teach and then the whole school. I can hear it now.a Red Rider Bebe gun? You'll shoot your eye out!

I'm on Twitter: MichelleKollar. Friday, August 17, 2012. Don't think, DO! Artists are always trying to weasel out of what make us happiest.

Michelle Kollar: New at Writing? Query Rejection? Don't Hit Yourself!
http://michellekollar.blogspot.com/2012/07/new-at-writing-query-rejection-dont-hit.html
I'm on Twitter: MichelleKollar. Thursday, July 12, 2012. Rejections letters should never be taken negatively. You wouldn't hit a baby, would you? Then why hit yourself in the first ten years! Most rejections as a group just mean you're WRITING is not there yet. Everyone complains about the process at first, but the truth is you aren't ready to be published until you write and study craft for five years. Five years.take that in.five years.

(Of course it was, it was 1970 but I'm thinking in the perception of the teen viewer.). 2 The dialogue was slow paced and easy going. 3 The songs were serious and sad. Our YouTube videos today are:. 1 Colorful and HD vibrant. 2 Fast paced (Jump cuts to the point of epilepsy). 3 Upbeat focus with zany craziness. I would say to my imaginary friends you are diluting yourselves.

I'm on Twitter: MichelleKollar. Monday, August 19, 2013. Is being a writer worth it? There are no stupid questions, but when someone asks me if being a writer is worth it.it gets under my skin. Ugh, ugh and UGH! I'm going to break this down into bullet points, because I like them and it might calm me down a little. It's not nice to tear someone down even if they're asking for your advice. If you don't have an art form, I suggest you get one because it's great. Is doing something you love worth it? Myster...
