that's an awesome post.
What patie...Hi Karlene,<br />that's an awesome post.<br />What patience you have to help someone brainstorm - but you obviously did a brilliant job because he was thinking and thinking about it. <br /><br />Then comes the hard part, writing it all down.<br /><br />The critique group I belong to here in Melbourne Australia is wonderful - we brainstorm ideas and come up with sometimes hilarious results. But we also question characters as if they're real, and work out their true motivations. It's bizarre yet satisfying.Ebony McKenna.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02724727996270658767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377741836634273944.post-49160353093700937542011-06-13T13:08:45.736-07:002011-06-13T13:08:45.736-07:00How sweet are you, Karlene.....

I'm convinced it's the best way to overcome glitches once the story has been developed—the kind of glitches we can't, for whatever reason, seem to overcome on our own.
