I haven't had a chance to visit the playground in a few weeks so you were a most excellent surprise. :-)<br /><br />I appreciate your words of encouragement and your willingness to share your holiday process with us. <br /><br />The new book looks great.

But then again it just could be a really bad case of avoidance. I'm not good at plotting so when a scene stalls out, I go do something else. The workbooks by Carolyn Greene and Alicia Rasley sound like something I should look into.

Even during the summers when I have vacation I often find myself doing other things that I "need" to do instead of writing. I just need to sit down and write each day whether I feel like it or not. <br /><br />Please enter me in the book drawing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
