Hah./Grrrr....

Just burned off a chapter for 'Summer of Love' that I'm really happy with, but it's too far into the story.... I haven't gotten nearly close to the plot/character development to use this... but, wow.... I wrote it, slept on it and revisited it a couple of days later, and it still has the emotional ...punch... I felt when I wrote it. Or maybe transcribed it is a better word, because I only half-joke about the muse. Sometimes I read stuff and think. 'I was only the typist. I'm not capable of stuff like this.'

Now the task is to weave a path from where the story IS to where the story needs to go to reach the chapter that woke me up in the middle of the night to write. Once again, I place my trust in the muse ...or subconscious... or whatever comes up with this stuff I can not access directly.

I look forward to building the bridge to the chapters yet to be connected.

Hey, muse... I'm talking to YOU! ;-)

I'm guessing it's a few chapters out. I suspect I'll find out shortly before you do.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read my story with a published beginning, a yet-to-be-published end and an in-process middle.

While I'm counting on my muse, I'm sure she will not let me down, and I will deliver on what I started.

(hint, hint... muse)
