Agonizing over which way this book was going, I dug out the synopsis I had already written and forgotten. There it was - the plot I had already figured out. :)<br /><br />Thanks, Chiron, for the reminder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-41114189669768654102009-09-24T12:32:57.224-07:002009-09-24T12:32:57.224-07:00Hello Linda!

Argh, ey?<br /><br />One way out of your particular dilemma is to create a new condo building in Maui, mentioning, of course, the <i>unusual</i> connecting balcony so rare on the island! *grin*<br /><br />Good luck with it. Sounds exciting!! <br /><br />--ChironChironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350218547511690377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-1983382766330007272009-09-24T12:25:49.880-07:002009-09-24T12:25:49.880-07:00Hello Stacey!

Sometimes it helps to let yourself just play around with the 'world' you're creating to get remotivated. <br /><br />Sending you inspirational energy and a renewed urge to create your own magic.<br /><br />Happy writing, Celia!<br /><br />--ChironChironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350218547511690377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-88684282480696857342009-09-23T07:06:03.933-07:002009-09-23T07:06:03.933-07:00Hi Chiron,

I've been told to learn to to create a world I am still strugglign with that I see it in my mind but it doesn't quite make it to the page. Funny though I was using a condo in my current wip thinking about the apartments I lived in my last two years of college. When I Googled condos on Maui they don't have connecting balconie as we did lol. So the idea of what i have my heroine doing doesn't exactly work like I planned it. I have to fix that when I edit it think of an alternative route to escape lol. ALthough they could be on a ground floor. I just will just have to see what happens lol.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983209367295987926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-73461830616711822892009-09-22T21:20:58.135-07:002009-09-22T21:20:58.135-07:00Chiron, in the middle of rewrites on a book I wrot...Chiron, in the middle of rewrites on a book I wrote back in 2004, I've thankfully come across a few magic moments to balance out the other 'stuff'. :) <br /><br />Celia, I have a few ranches like that in my mind, too.Stacey Joy Netzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13908548379784017162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-79523282176675021412009-09-22T14:53:33.961-07:002009-09-22T14:53:33.961-07:00Well, I try to stay in control, Chiron.

In my first release, I created an entire ranch community, complete with buildings, corrals, and homes--and the characters. that place is as real to me as...well, not really. But I can conjure up a place like that and remember it as if I'd really been there. Odd, isn't it?<br />For a while now, I've done little real writing. this promo stuff can really suck you dry. I think I'm seeing the light, but then, more appears for me to do. Thanks for the reminder that writing si the important thing.
