Okay — “when” I get published! Yeah, I like the sound of that. If, er, WHEN that happens I’m going to have a long list of thank-yous to the people who’ve encouraged and inspired me. :bravo:

Best – Carolyn

It is really hard not to give away too much, especially because telling more of the plot would help my blog posts make more sense sometimes But you bring up a really good reason for not brining it up – the spoiler factor. Personally, I live for spoilers, but I think I’m in the minority.

I hope your computer’s not attacking you anymore…I’m going to check out your blog! Oh, and I’m also going to tell you to say, when I get published, and not, in case. Trust me, it works

Jo – I’ve never seen anything like it! It was spraying straight out from the cap…

Aemlia – the muse definitely makes you wait for it sometimes…how’s the writing going?!?

I had to laugh at the Dr. Pepper story in particular — that is SO me. At my blog earlier this week, I described how my computer attacked me :shocked: when I should have been writing for Sven.

One question for you — do you have to work at resisting the temptation to reveal too much of your book on your blog? I know that I do. I’m an unpubbed novelist and I have to keep editing my posts so that I don’t reveal who the killer is in my murder mystery, just in case one of my blog readers ever gets the chance to see my story in print. But it’s hard, because I get so excited when I think of a cool new plot twist, subplot, or red herring.

Anyway — good luck to you with all your writing!

It happens to me in every story, and right before that I am always tearing my hair out and whining about why I ever decided to write in the first place. Tricky muse.

Anyway, go revisions! I’ve got mine to do today, too, as soon as I finish this last (#$&( scene!

Bummer. Was it one of those moments that you will laugh at some other day?
