Thanks so much for all the great information and advice. You really struck a cord with me today and it’s good to know there is no one right or wrong way - just write (which I love to do).

Best of luck with those last pages and Happy Mother’s Day

And thanks again ~ having a writer like you help other aspiring writers is really cool.

I’m glad the information today was helpful…and Leslie, from your lips to my muse’s ears! Alison, IMO, most of the rules need to be stricken from the rulebook. Like in Pirates of the Caribbean, they’re more like guidelines…useful, except when they’re not!

a big question for me is deciding whose point of view a scene needs to be in. The common answer is “the person with the most at stake.” But that’s not always true.

I’m so glad you said this because that’s one “rule” that needs to be stricken from the rule book. Most often, the reader already knows what’s going on with the person with the most at stake, and it’s much more compelling to be in the pov of the character witnessing the other one’s struggle, etc., and “showing” the at stake character through the other’s eyes.

Julie

I finished “Double the Pleasure” last night and I loved it.

In fact I loved everything about it. Sexy, sensual characters

with a great story too.

Thank-you so much! I am thrilled to have a signed copy.

You plotmonkeys are fabulous and it astounds me

how you just keep hitting the mark over and over again.
