Chapter 11 is now in the books...er...in a manner of speaking. I feel a sense of going "downhill" now as I draw nearer the proverbial finish line! I am also beginning to lay groundwork for the next novel, and I have really begun to discover these characters. One thing I am learning - planning a character, their personalities, backgrounds, and idiosynchracies, is not the same as knowing them. Once I begin writing about their (mis?)adventures, it seems they take on a life of their own. In some cases, they are telling me a story rather than me using them to tell a story. It’s been a very unique experience, and a rewarding one!
