DID YOU EVER STICK A PILL UP YOUR NOSE?

Question:
 
I LOVE your books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are VERY well written!!!!!!:)
I live in the Netherlands.  Could you give me some writing tips?
  (P.S. DID you get a vitamin pill stuck up your nose???)
Phyllis replied:
We love hearing from readers in other countries.  As a quick writing tip, I often suggest thinking about the one thing that made you the angriest in your life, the most sad, the most scared, or what embarrassed you most.  Write a few sentences about it and then change it.  Make it happen to someone else in your story.  Change the beginning; add a new ending.  Add new characters.  Turn the incident over to your imagination and give it wings.  (No, I didn’t ever stick a vitamin pill up my nose, but I heard from a reader who did).
