Having been born in the deep south, I learned to love the slower pace with which southerners live and work.
I am adopted as the characters in the book are also. I was able to draw on the feelings I had as a child of feeling I "didn't belong".
My young life was filled with many opportunities to play and be creative without the hindrances that today's children have. Being a Baby Boomer myself, I experienced many of Susie's school days during the Cold War and the race to space.

I have not had that unfortunate experience, but if I were to get stumped here is what I would try:
When I am actively involved in writing, my thoughts are on where am I taking this? If I can't see a path that leads to a side road, that's when I go into very descriptive narrative. I visualize the surroundings, colors, patterns, and textures to give the reader the feeling of being there. During this something will click and suddenly I can't get through that part quickly enough! It has worked for me many times, especially if I need to tie it to a spot I have already written. For my writings, I use a "cut and paste" technque. So, it does not get tedious on one place because I have several going at the same time. Much more fun! :)(less)
