Thank you Jessica for SO MANY wonderful and thoughtful comments. You just happened to find my blog when I was dealing with a lot of stuff at home (dental work then record flooding here in TX). I did read and enjoy just didn’t have the gas left to comment. I VERY MUCH appreciate such enthusiasm and support! Fabulous to meet you.

I miss watching Star Trek re-runs, my dad had a faux wood tv with a tiny screen and it was in color! (Gramma had a black and white back then.)

Spock and Kirk are great metaphorical (is that the right word?) way to explain this. :)Right now Spock wins and he keeps pointing out that this and that isn’t logical and that you go back and have her use or think about them dagger before just yanking it out of nothing. I love Spock, he chases away the stupid.

Kirck is fun, but often gets me into trouble and makes more work. >_<

I’ve written the story four times. Spock brain is a pain. He’s trying to tidy up the corners. Trying to make things – make sense. I’ve tossed out hours of good writing – well – Spock has. I keep the good stuff in a file for short stories or just to read to amuse myself. Meanwhile the book, the book, has become it’s own chore with moments of delight. The joy of the first draft is a long forgotton skeleton under the twisted body of my Frankenstein.

Your e-mail about this exciting class popped up in my in-box this morning. I have never taken an online class, but I immediately went to WANA and found the class already full. No surprise! I usually take about 3 years to write each of my historical fictions . . . YOUR CLASS sounds like a real jumpstart for improving writing productivity AND creativity. So, now how do I sign up for the next one????

Yes, a much needed reminder! I need to do the same actually.

“Yes, diamonds always come out of the earth cruddy and a bit weird-looking.” I’m putting this on a note card and taping it on my laptop.

Kirk starts the race but Spock quickly interrupts…

That leaves me with a question. I’m writing an initially intended short story, which is begging me to go longer and in more detail (at least double, so ~14k+?). Writing the rest of it quickly should be doable (especially after reading this), but what about scenes I want to add in sections I’ve already written, should that wait until the rest is finished?
