Of course, this is the revision AFTER having completed all twelve steps.

I'll be thinking of you as I race to the 9/01 finish myself.<br /><br />BTW..God bless you for being step-mom of five. My husband is step-dad of five (26-34). And, I also teach high school English (on a good day) and hope to retire in the next two years.Christa Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12620389675433700944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-35277555286290047892011-07-29T10:33:08.085-04:002011-07-29T10:33:08.085-04:00My process involves several glasses of wine---Chee...My process involves several glasses of wine---Cheerwine.

I do also pretend to listen to my hubby while pondering plots and dialog. He`s gotten used to it now and will sit patiently waiting until I return from the land of fiction to answer him.V.L.

Oh, and the great ideas that sort of frizzle and die when you sit down at the keyboard. And of course the bit about pretending to listen to your husband while you think about your characters. Actually I think I will have to include the whole process - except for the glass of wine. If I poured myself a glass of wine I would end up asleep, not writing a novel.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634491861054702416noreply@blogger.com
