Lesson 12 Eureka!

[prudencewombat]

YES! I've finished it!

Holly suggested taking all the time it needed to get the characters right. So I did - all 26 days of it.
Consequently, I've got to know the characters much better. I love 'em all. That sounds trite and small and what I feel is neither of those things. A huge warmth and also astonishment that they have come out of my head!

I just hope that when I get writing again, I can do justice to these characters and this book which is taking on a form which makes me gasp. It bears little resemblance to the original muddle and actually has a plot now.

This course is awesome. Thanks for sharing, Holly!

This is wonderful news . . . and gives me hope for my own "muddle"!

Thanks Cat, Reba, Emily and Kate!

I have an idea (put slightly differently somewhere else on this forum) that the worse the novel is, the more hope there is
And more to learn from the fixing of it maybe.
