My eldest son: "Okay, we're going to do this 'outside the box.' And then we are going to put it back in the box, just to confuse them." Can't tell you how amazed I was that this particular young man had even the vaguest idea where 'the box' was.
Hey all. Haven’t posted a Wednesday writing post in a while. Hoping to get back to it in September when the kids go back to school, but I thought I’d write down some ideas from a conversation I had with a fellow writer one night as we took a walk. Our discussion was about character…
So… Do you guys have that thing happen where you have this scene running through your head and you keep picturing how to write it…but it's from like book Seven of a series where you are on Book Two?
