And if you never listened to Sparky's Magic Piano, you missed out on a seminal experience that blighted the lives of a lot of kids growing up in the 1950's.

Seems like this Victorian novel of yours may be able to turn into a few different ones? The one, yet dangerous, thing I love about writing is how lost you can become in your characters and plots. It's so much fun!Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14380124080238262053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-75215857703250741472012-09-09T21:26:03.502-07:002012-09-09T21:26:03.502-07:00Great post, as always!

My next nov is going to be a sequel of the last, thus it should be about the same length.

(and I don’t mean that in the obvious way) Sometimes those subplots just have a mind of their own. <br /><br />1. I am going to start using the phrase BDSM instead of ‘editing’ it’s pretty accurate – write on! You probably do know best…<br /><br />2. Are you sure about that Sparky piano thing, that’s just creepy! :)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-7336976044322903662012-09-09T05:46:37.760-07:002012-09-09T05:46:37.760-07:00We are NOt In Charge.Learned that a while ago.We are NOt In Charge.Learned that a while ago.Carol Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359578624109905400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-17948234716856962862012-09-09T03:25:29.210-07:002012-09-09T03:25:29.210-07:00Good luck, Carol.

It was a great idea, but it's now affected so much and I had to do a lot of rewriting before moving on. I THINK I have things were they need to be to keep going now.

I like a book with lots of sub-plots which link together and mirror the main plot and I try to write in the same way.
