It's re-assuring to know my situation isn't unique. Also, I mulled over the advice and decided it was better than staring at a blank piece of paper. Besides, why re-invent the wheel when someone offers you a Cadillac? My story was stalled and I had tried numerous ideas. But I was trying to plot my way out. Instead, I concentrated on my character and started writing.Karen Elizabeth Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190485992966502931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880009964581841972.post-54906147424508764832014-02-06T10:09:47.840-08:002014-02-06T10:09:47.840-08:00Heather: Thanks for dropping by and giving me your...Heather: Thanks for dropping by and giving me your support!Karen Elizabeth Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190485992966502931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880009964581841972.post-15339510055528085342014-02-06T04:37:03.940-08:002014-02-06T04:37:03.940-08:00I am also writing my third book in a trilogy Karen...I am also writing my third book in a trilogy Karen and I can relate to your situation. I am at a crossroads, wondering in which direction to go with my story. I am glad you found some help. I have previously been persuaded by my critique partners to perhaps follow a certain avenue in a story and am grateful I listened. But, it takes guts to do so and it is a large hurdle to overcome to be able to let another persons advice take hold without feelings of doubt creeping in. Pat yourself on the back for being strong enough to accept their advice. It is a really hard thing to do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678216576112327332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880009964581841972.post-291718284457045502014-02-06T03:33:12.211-08:002014-02-06T03:33:12.211-08:00Happy IWSG day!
