A very nice morning. First news of the day is a writer friend's breakthrough revelation--the kind where you're thinking about your ms and a big chunk of story suddenly slides into place in your head. The kind with a domino effect where, once you "get" that chunk, resulting encounters and situations also start falling into place and it all makes sense on every level.
Ahhhhh. It's good to bask in the glow.
The reasons for this blog: 1. To provide basic author information for students, teachers, librarians, etc. (Please see sidebar) 2. I think out loud a lot as I work through writing projects, and I'm trying to dump most of those thoughts here rather than on my friends.
