I just had an article go on up on Vision: A Resource for Writers. http://visionforwriters.com/visionjoom/ ... Itemid=101 It's on Organizing a Novel When You're Right-Brained, containing some of the things I learned along the way through HTRYN.

I also have a review coming out on August 4 for Silent Enemy (a military thriller) on Washington Independent Review of Books. http://www.washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com/ This was the first professional review I've done -- very different than what I did for Thomas Nelson. That was just blog posts and postings to Amazon. This one was a more like you would see in the newspaper. When they asked for a bio, I was scanning down samples on the site -- everyone else has like 10 books published, so I felt awfully intimidated with not so much in the credit department. Already been asked to do a second review so I'm deciding between three books.

Congratulations! I can't wait to read the article when I get home tonight and I'll put the review in my calendar to read on the fourth of August.

Fascinating article, Linda--not just for the ideas and suggestions (which are wonderful) but also for the insight into how right-brain big-picture people think. Thanks for writing it!

A great article about Right Brainers. It was fascinating to see people dominated by the right side of the brain think. Thank you for the link.

Well done, Garridon. Excellent article with lots of novel (hehehe) ideas. I'm going to try a couple of those, too. :)TX

Thanks so much for the article! With my writing projects, my right brain tends to do a lot more than my left, and the organization (or lack thereof) of my planning, backgrounding and worldbuilding shows it. My left brain gets grumpy and tries to fix everything, and then my right brain hides in a closet and refuses to come out until I stop my left brain's nonsense. But now I have shiny, new tools to keep both of them happy! Yay! :mrgreen:
Oh, don't worry about me. I just have a peech inspediment.
