This semester, I was very strict with my schedule and gave myself Fridays off (no classes). Thus, Fridays will be private, solitary day for continuing to work on the novel, plus enjoy a bit of pleasurable reading if needed. :-)Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979866600334392422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385026427314247372.post-17610278063174708062014-01-21T20:31:37.193-07:002014-01-21T20:31:37.193-07:00One of the side benefits to being in school is tha...One of the side benefits to being in school is that it allows you to appreciate so much more deeply, the joy of having time to read for pleasure! :-)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734831781770841734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385026427314247372.post-21672294848883696872014-01-16T18:59:33.698-07:002014-01-16T18:59:33.698-07:00It really is fabulous, Laura. :-) It really is fabulous, Laura. :-) Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979866600334392422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385026427314247372.post-40764879596958530822014-01-16T18:58:38.023-07:002014-01-16T18:58:38.023-07:00LOL I seem to write--especially novels--in fits an...LOL I seem to write--especially novels--in fits and starts so it's slow going, but I will keep you posted periodically. :-)Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979866600334392422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385026427314247372.post-58722044028428857492014-01-16T14:54:17.418-07:002014-01-16T14:54:17.418-07:00How exciting to be in such a wonderfully creative ...How exciting to be in such a wonderfully creative place Darla.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349928247626849914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385026427314247372.post-59569795797709899742014-01-14T17:19:47.507-07:002014-01-14T17:19:47.507-07:00Well now I can't wait to read it!!!

It's clear already that some of the people in my book will want their own stories told down the road. ;-)Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979866600334392422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385026427314247372.post-38136714394133283112014-01-12T13:06:49.073-07:002014-01-12T13:06:49.073-07:00Good for you!

This results in a three dimensional character rather than a cardboard cutout. I construct timelines and family trees so I really know my main characters.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.com
