(giggle) Actually, I was glad you switched heroes, because I liked the other guy better. lol. Yes, my goal has been "longer", but I also had a goal of 4 novellas this year, too. If that one becomes a novel, I also miss my other goal. (as well as opportunities to sell!) Oh, well. It will be what it will be... :) Yep, that was the one.

Are you sure you've read it, Kate? It's the one with the green hill or mist or something. It's where I accidentally SWITCHED HEROES IN THE MIDDLE. *snort* Yay!!! A novel!!! Wasn't that your goal? Longer? Oh, it IS. Are you sure you’ve read it, Kate? It’s the one with the green hill or mist or something. It’s where I accidentally SWITCHED HEROES IN THE MIDDLE.

On the other hand, it's also starting to look like it may end up being a novel rather than novella because I keep coming up with things to add in that would make it better.

Nailing the beginning has to be better than just barfing up something and then returning to it months later. One of the things I'd like to do this time around is not look back until I've typed "The End." (Usually I'm reading back and fixing, and then nothing new happens.) I like your method.

Right now I have a cat crazy for Angel Food Cake. I put it on one side of me, and she runs over. Then I put it on the other, and she goes over there. Now she's sitting and waiting awhile, hoping I'll forget, then softly sneaking over to the other side. ROFL, Christina! Right now I have a cat crazy for Angel Food Cake.

Cracked me up, Robin! That sounds like fun! Yeah, I'd be a disaster if an editor wanted to converse over the phone. I have to look up my character's names and everything. I have the worst memory.

That's great. Whenever I'm stuck, I always find the answer in my beginning. And yes, oh man, it's a hoot! Oh awesome, Liz! That’s great. Whenever I’m stuck, I always find the answer in my beginning.
