I wrote these words for my novel earlier this morning:
"For tonight, just for tonight, I will pretend that he loves me and wants me to return. I feel discarded and adrift in my life as I realize that the decisions I need to make will affect the rest of my life but also yours."
I've not much time before I need to get to work, but I simply wanted to say that it's been a wonderful experience being on this path developing the character of my heroine in my next book. She's taken on a life of her own and I can freely admit that she's made decisions that I had not planned. I've heard other writers say this--that the plot they have in mind is thrown away as characters sometimes don't act the way you want them to. I'm in that situation now and it's fun to see. Fun because my imagination is allowing me to put life into the words on the page.
It's my hope that, when I am finished, the story that I tell will be of interest to others. 204 pages down. 1200+ words written today. With that I am happy and now need to go to work. Peace.
