Did you ever get the parts of Lunadar I sent you via email? The info to fill in the gaps so you can understand the flow of the story better? Now that I've pulled my Friday and Sunday peeks at my stories/poems I'm probably going back to my everyday encouraging posts so I hope reader will still come by...I would cross my fingers, but it would take me even longer to type!

Somewhere along the line I usually write down a very general chapter outline just so I have an idea how many chapters I'm doing...especially with my middle grade novels. It's more of an available time issue than what to write but I'm sure I will figure it out...;0)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and come back any time!Think Positive, Be Positivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981805086599633473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382427031631027145.post-30664210963505802692012-07-07T15:03:36.050-04:002012-07-07T15:03:36.050-04:00LOL Janet if the day comes when it gets to print t...LOL Janet if the day comes when it gets to print then I will send you a signed copy with 'You did too!' written on it.jphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366756099517322071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382427031631027145.post-56859760585557890372012-07-07T13:19:15.062-04:002012-07-07T13:19:15.062-04:00Good luck!

The problem is Ghetto is only about one third written and I need to get that done whilst the memories are fresh (it is only set a couple of years ago). 'Twixt the devil and the deep blue sea'<br /><br />If I knew it would become so challenging I might not have bothered. Like Faith says, in my experience / opinion some of my best writing is done at speed (if you discount the typos).jphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366756099517322071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382427031631027145.post-5832396946355268612012-07-07T08:45:31.032-04:002012-07-07T08:45:31.032-04:00Good luck!

He did say that having a general chapter outline helped him immensely, so if you get stuck, you might want to try one of some kind!Faith E.
