Woohoo, half-way through!
The first half of this story just flew out my fingertips--I knew exactly what needed to happen and when.
The second half is proving a little more difficult. I know how everything ends, and I have milestones for the characters that need to happen, but the route toward that end is hazy. It could go in SO many directions. Gah. I will have to make up my mind and soon! I hope I chose the right one.
The aim is to make it a light, romantic read. Only there are a few heavier moments and getting the transition right in the tone of the story is tricky. Hmmm. . .
This is what I love about writing! Sometimes it's full of secret smiles and laughs and other times it's full of sweat and tears. It certainly keeps things interesting.
The sub-plots are turning out to be a bit bigger than in S&T and St-st-stuffed. I wonder if it's because lately I've read some really great stories that had heaps of sub plots weaving in together, and they have impressed me? Maybe. But I doubt mine are quite so masterful--I've got my craft books out and am working on honing this skill.
As for sex-scenes! But damn, I really shouldn't read some of my own reviews, LOL. I lost my confidence for a little bit there! I don't generally go into heaps of detail, but I do like a little bit so long as it flows with the story. I might have to do those scenes after a glass of whiskey or something. Terrible writer cliche, but in this case . . . it just might be necessary. LOL.
:D
