So we’ve hashed out our agonizing challenges. Let’s let some sun shine and share our successes.
Have you ever had things come to your mind so quickly, you can’t seem to type fast enough?
What are the things that make you feel- I should totally be getting paid for this? Character development? Writing steamy love scenes?
When I started writing this, I didn’t really have any successes to post. I thought about adding my favorite chapter. But that’s already on here. Then something happened this week… I started writing again!!
So, the success I wanted to share is the power of collective brainstorming. I’d been stuck for a while. Just didn’t have enough characters or conflict even. And I couldn’t get past a particular scene. That’s when Sarah and I put our heads together and just talked it out. As ideas started flowing, I knew what direction I wanted to take things.
Let us know what works for you, or something you’re particularly proud of- your successes.

I have found that writing exercises or talking things through have helped me tremendously. Also carrying a notebook so I can write ideas when I have them, which usually isn’t when I’m in front of the computer.
My success–I’m finished with Legend and editing IN THE DARK.
Now to find an agent!
And yea, Liz! No more Writer’s Block.

My frustration is I have a ton of stories and I know exactly where I want them to go, but don’t know how to start the story. My biggest sucess right now is that my one story is starting to flow again. I have had a bit of a block and the sun has started to shine through again. Yeah!!!!
