Even with artwork I like to do any prep work ahead of time, and save the fun stuff for another time.<br /><br />Keats - Me too!<br /><br />Louise - Thanks for the tip! I've seen it once but I'd like to watch it again.

I write mostly PBs, but have done one MG and I found myself writing it in chapters. I'd finish one and then would wait a day to start the next. It was a lot of fun for me and I'd love to write another MG sometime.Rena Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328844122193024220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528227961565444889.post-83856248038845409662009-05-18T19:34:00.000-07:002009-05-18T19:34:00.000-07:00Wow!

Linear stuff never works for me and makes me feel like I'm doing tax returns.<br /><br />Then again, writing is kind of whatever works. But it's always nice to know there are kindred spirits floating around out there.Anne Spollenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915171740680350711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528227961565444889.post-42898766554203841542009-05-18T08:58:00.000-07:002009-05-18T08:58:00.000-07:00great tips thanks :)great tips thanks :)Shelli (srjohannes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17123227845032402600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528227961565444889.post-10299066969670889982009-05-18T07:56:00.000-07:002009-05-18T07:56:00.000-07:00Wow.

One thing follows another.
