I'm trying to take the next step in my fantasy novel, but haven't been able to get there.<br /><br />Last week my son and I had a "discussion" regarding the plot, and that helped me really "focus" on what I needed to do. Now, its just about finding the writing time!<br /><br />Great post. Thanks.<br /><br />I think I'm a follower. I'll click on it again to be sure.<br /><br />........dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435062275537032044.post-55076054006879081222010-08-08T01:22:45.821-05:002010-08-08T01:22:45.821-05:00OK...now I see it.

I'm just a plain old serflike girl from your kingdom, so what'd you expect from me?<br />Besides...I'm NEW here. Can't you give me a break?<br />Never mind. You just don't understand.<br />I won't return unless you say you forgive me, so it's up to you. I'm at your mercy. <br />Do you forgive me for being a dummy and not noticing that LIZA did finally contact you?<br /><br />(Please leave a message on my blog, info. below, if you do.) I sure hope you do!!!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Cynde (Cynde's Got The Write Stuff)<br />http://cyndes-got-the-write-stuff.blogspot.com/Cynde L.

You talked about having a system for writing.<br /><br />I have the suitcase system : you've been vacationing -- you know the angst of deciding what to put in and leave out of the only suitcase allowed you. You quickly decide what is essential and what can be left out.<br /><br />A good story is the same way : putting in only the essentials will make it fly better.<br /><br />I look forward to your entry in D.L.'s High Drama Blogfest.

I wanted to congratu...Hi there, Princess Courtney!<br /><br />I wanted to congratulate LIZA...and now I wonder...did she ever contact you? What a shame is she didn't. <br /><br />Wow. I was praying SO HARD that I would have been the winner, but I'm sure everyone else was, too (except maybe Liza, or else she would have been checking back like the rest of us, right?) <br /><br />Oh well. It would be so sad if Liza had an emergency and then wasn't able to win the prize because of it, huh? (There goes my writer's imagination again.)<br /><br />Best wishes to everyone if there's another drawing. We can all hold our breath again while we wait to see who wins THIS time. (Oh please, let it be me?!!!) :o)<br /><br />I bow to your loveliness, your "Highness", and thank you so much for having such an amazing contest. Your generosity knows no bounds, your majesty. <br /><br />With all due sincerity,<br /><br />Cynde of Cynde's Got The Write Stuff 'kingdom'<br />(http://cyndes-got-the-write-stuff.blogspot.com/)Cynde L.
