The greater challenge came in the form of the effective character development required for literary writing. I'm still working on that one.Linda Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06686488133905538811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-4340355950489522042020-01-20T22:36:51.899-07:002020-01-20T22:36:51.899-07:00Great post, Linda!

I don't think it was the absorption into my character as much as fixing what I didn't know I didn't know in the beginning stages. Keep going. I'll still be right behind you.Polly Iyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05729656119287702191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-35648163791479087202020-01-15T21:42:14.225-07:002020-01-15T21:42:14.225-07:00Thank you, Liz.

So many ideas bounce back and forth in the head. So many stories were abandoned when life interfered. Now, it's upward and onward! :-)Linda Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06686488133905538811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-49110152403387449022020-01-15T18:47:57.831-07:002020-01-15T18:47:57.831-07:00I read the opening paragraph three times, not beca...I read the opening paragraph three times, not because it was difficult to understand but, rather, difficult to believe.
