I love it when you do posts like this! Good luck to all writers with this situation indeed, lol!
ReplyDeleteElspeth - Oh, that's the secret, I think, of keeping the spark of writing alive. Being open to whatever the journey offers and traveling where it takes you is the way to make a book really special. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteLaura; Thanks for the compliment and I echo your good luck wishes to all writers as they travel down their individual highways!
ReplyDeleteMargot; I just wish the journey came with a good map and warning signs before you hit that giant pothole or see a scary beastie lying across your path.
I'm smiling 'cause that's the way it is. Cool.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you're not a plotter, this is how it goes every single day.
