Because it is comfortable and it feels scary to change.<BR/><BR/>3. So what? What could make her want it even more?

More like "vague, occasionally even coherent, thoughts about a couple of characters that have come to me in the few microseconds I get to think in peace lately". Thank goodness school went back today.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I have checked out Christy's Plannowrimo. I think it's a great idea. Children permitting, I will even do it. I still remember the dread panic that came over me last year every time I got to the end of what I had thought of for my novel and had to dream up the next thing to happen. I do NOT want to go there again!Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231656540175892601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-5827570033091458152008-10-13T00:19:00.000-04:002008-10-13T00:19:00.000-04:00how's never? is never good for you?(kidding.
