I’m so close I can taste it, but am pulling out hunks o’ hair. I KNOW it makes the story stronger, betterer. I know the bones and even the words to use. But sometimes, especially when the pattern has been set, fitting those square pegs takes a bit of whittling. In my case (because it’s written in syncopated rhythm) it’s taking a bit of a beat-ing. Sheesh. I dreamt I was successful last night, though I couldn’t tell you what I wrote. Between the dream and you’re post I’m going to take that as a beacon to push on. Thanks so much for sharing!
Ooh! I love it when we fall in love, at last, with the story we’re working on. So much of the early stuff is a struggle that it is a glorious relief when we reach the love-fest.
Hooray for love!
Love is in the air…
Wonderful.
Enjoy the process. Loved picture books are the best of all.
It’s loving me back!
Oh, I love when that happens……..!
Me too! I’m going to email you.
YAYA Kristie!
That’s WONDERFUL!

Re: YAYA Kristie!
Keep whittling! Keep beating! If I had a hammer…
Yay, Kristy! I knew you’d get there–you didn’t have that far to go in the first place! 🙂
