Hello and Happy Friday,

Doesn’t it feel great when you get a line or a lead for your story? Or the right idea that makes that chapter, makes it juicy and worth the effort because it helps build your story ; makes it better? I love getting that zing when you’ve found that connection you needed; it happens all the time or you wouldn’t have a story or a novel, yet when you’re writing it seems like those zings are infrequent, that there’s a long time between them and most of the time you spend plodding, ringing your hands over the right line, the right connection, or worried you’ve following the wrong trail or have veered off into some ridiculous story line that doesn’t do a thing for the work. We all know there are more of the hard writing times than the smooth writing paths, yet the thing is that its worth it; always worth it in the end because you have your book and if we’re blessed, a really good one.

Keep at the writing.

If you have any comments or suggestions please e-mail me at my new address: shabazzl@adasbcc.org.

Until next time, God willing,

Lori
