I am kinda relieved you hadn't cranked out ANOTHER book in that short time :)<br /><br />Your desire for a new cafe reminds me of the Room of Requirement in Harry Potter. That's what you need. HA!<br /><br />And the pics of little Clementine are adorable, as usual. She is so precious. <br /><br />Good luck with all your writing :)<br /><br />Hugs!Katie Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067504634291164972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-8202501024968793512010-09-15T06:15:15.044-07:002010-09-15T06:15:15.044-07:00How do you get your photos to be nice clickable i...How do you get your photos to be nice clickable images?

Hmmm... this whole finishing-the-novel thing is very intriguing to me. So, it was won at auction by a publishing house without being completed yet, do I have that right? All this big time publishing stuff is so fascinating to me. The photos of Clementine are beyond adorable, by the way!ChristyGhttp://glowbuggirl.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-72207486094020514042010-09-14T17:28:26.291-07:002010-09-14T17:28:26.291-07:00I'm a editer while I write- my little mistakes...I'm a editer while I write- my little mistakes (I forgot to explain the theoretical physics- and yes, I am using theoretical physics in fantasy) are edited out while I'm working on this exceptionally tough scene... POV switches really help! Especially when you have a persona to write through, who's the character of the editor, who isn't really in the story, and is kinda between you and the narrator... Or in this heartwrenching scene I had to write, I come up with phrases that need to be in it (I'm still trying to find a place for 'cold revenge'), go back, and edit. Haven't even finished the first chapter and I'm doing what probably will be the end of the fourteenth. I'm weird. You're amazing.
