Moving Forward

What pushes me along to finish a book? Why, the burning idea for the next one, of course! Thinking about those new characters and situations gives me extra impetus to finish the work in progress. May sound strange, but it works for me!

Thank you, Lynn. BTW, I loved "Fools Gold".

Bonnie McCune Unlike you, I sometimes use the idea for the next book as an excuse to neglect the first. I have some books 40 years in the making. Your method sounds better.

Victoria That's a great goal, Carlene, I always struggle with the book I'm on. Maybe looking ahead would be a better idea.

On the outside looking in, it always seems as if you're a dynamo, VIctoria. You get so much done!
