Fall means orange and red leaves, cloudy skies and sweaters. It means comfort food and hot tea. It means friends and family.
It also means I must get serious. SERIOUS! March does not seem to be able to write itself.
At first I couldn't tell why I was unable to get past a certain scene. I tried for the entire week to get them on the road, out of the house, STOP TALKING FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! But the incessant chit chat continued unabated.
So I backtracked and found it. That elusive piece of the puzzle. Now that it is written, I should be able to move forward. I'll let you know how it goes.
Funny how writing is. The story takes on a life of its own once you start putting pen to paper. The outline I start with is not the outline I finish with. And there are tons of little surprises. Such as, the beagle. I knew the beagle would be in this book (a suggestion from a friend who promotes my books in her bookstore even though they don't sell on her shelves - she is the best!), but I didn't know who the beagle would end up with. In fact, I still don't...but I mostly do...I hope.
