The wonder of friends...

There is something amazing about being able to chat with a friend about your characters and plot and know that they understand. What a precious gift to have them ask the right questions that reveal answers you didn't know where waiting to be found. One book is consigned to the document folder. In it's place is a new book. I'll use some of the old story, but most will be rewritten. I'm much happier with the new plot turns and the added depth to the characters. It isn't easy killing your darlings, but sometimes it's for the best in order to unlock a richer tale.
