If the dialogue is flowing, I don't have to put in the "she paused, planting a hand firmly on her hip as she searched for the right word" or the "his tight denim pants were straining against his thighs as he stood before her, blocking her exit from the room." I can just have them fight and worry about clothes, scenery, weather, whatever later.<BR/><BR/>I'm loving that.Andrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1152548960880650172006-07-10T11:29:00.000-05:002006-07-10T11:29:00.000-05:00:dealing with aftereffects of an overflowing toile...:dealing with aftereffects of an overflowing toilet that dumped water in the air conditioning return: The HVAC folks have been called and I'm awaiting their return call to schedule a service call. Meanwhile the system is turned off and the temperature rises. Please let it stay overcast today.<BR/><BR/>Back to our topic. I have no children at home so it's harder for me to let the house go and put quick meals on the table. I could live on tomato sandwiches from the tomatoes I've grown in the backyard. But the DH wants a "real" meal. So I cook. He IS my patron of the arts, after all. :grin:<BR/><BR/>"I Can Fix That Later" has been the hardest lesson for me to learn. I tend to want it to be perfect the first time and will go back and re-write and re-write and re-write the same paragraph over and over and never get any further. That's why I've turned to writing longhand. My brain will allow me to just write, with notes such as "add character description" or "describe setting" in the margin.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the remainder of your challenge!<BR/><BR/>PMPlayground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1152544021372849822006-07-10T10:07:00.000-05:002006-07-10T10:07:00.000-05:00I don't know...my standards are pretty low when it...I don't know...my standards are pretty low when it comes to housekeeping.
