It's there love/passion story.<BR/>I may get glimpses of where the plot goes, or even an outline in my head as I'm writing, but it still comes from my heroine and hero.<BR/>So exciting about Magic Knot!!! coming out.<BR/><BR/>Pat, I love it when I write something totally unexpected.

My outlines look like this: "Joe meets Mary, who has this problem, and in the end they wind up in Jersey but I'm not quite sure how they get there." Figuring it out is what makes writing fun.

If I ever finish one I'll let you know.<BR/><BR/>PatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
