I know you talked about tense on your blog, but I have a real tense problem. When I try o write in past tense I always end up in present, or if I succeed it sounds stiff and unreal. What do I do?

Hi Mrs. Levine!
I do love your new website. You asked us to say what we thought of A tale of Two Castle's cover- I really like it. I like the playfulness. But I also was really waiting for one of those gorgeous covers with a real life model and a tapestry sort of background, and the sparkly banner. Whenever I see that design I know to charge across the bookstore going, "It's a Gail Carson Levine book!" ;)
You are awesome and I read Fairest and it's as awesome as you are. I also read Ella Enchanted and was surprised when Hattie became Ella's stepsister!!! Can you ever have time to write a story about Areda? Aza is like me kind of... but I listened to the audio book, too and sometimes it is confusing.Thanks!
Hello Mrs Gail,
When I was younger (I'm thirteen now) I would pick out a book that I thought I would enjoy. When I was in 2nd grade it was Princess tales, then in 3rd Dave at night and Ella Enchanted, 4th Fairest, and your other books. The thing was though I never looked for your books I just looked for interesting books. I always enjoy your stories. When you came to a bookstore near me I came and bought Ever and Writing Magic. I recently started writing a book. So far it's 12 pages on MS word. I feel like I've been writing hundreds of pages and haven't been getting anywhere. My friends are saying that it's amazing and original. I really want to get it published. I was reading Writing Magic and just felt like I wanted to write a letter to you so here it is.
Your fan,
Emily
