FINISHED!!

'Family Secrets' is now finished and all 44 chapters have been uploaded to authonomy. There is still a bit of editing and proofreading to do, but the bulk of the work is behind me now. You can't imagine how good it feels!

BTW - if you're following the book on authonomy and have already read Chapter 37, you'll want to read it again.

My 'AHA' Moment

I’ve had an ending in mind for Family Secrets for a while now. Unfortunately, because of recent developments in the story, that ending just isn't going to work anymore. There are several things about this story that have evolved differently that I originally expected them to. That’s just the way it works. Having tossed out my planned ending, though, I have been in a bit of a pinch. I’ve been fast approaching the point where I was going to be seriously stuck trying to figure out what happens next. That’s what this whole blog is about, right? The never ending search for The Rest of My Story!

Well, by George, I’ve found it!! It came to me out of the clear blue while I was driving to work this morning – and it’s PERFECT!! That’s twice that a problem has mysteriously solved itself on the way to work. Maybe I’ve found the secret to overcoming writer’s block – drive up and down Pellissippi Parkway until you figure it out.

Thank goodness it’s Friday. And thank goodness it’s supposed to rain this weekend. I can lock myself in a room with the laptop and not have to feel guilty about ignoring the gutters and the flower beds.
