Right now, I'm doing a final ( I hope) edit on my very first novel which I'm submitting on Dec. 1st, and am finishing up an edit on my fantasy novel. But I've got a file started on "Gabriela", and Rick, I did look up Whitesbog, not serious research yet, but Iknow that it once was famous for cranberries and blueberries, and is now partly a ghost town.<br /><br />Kelly, when I can grab a few minutes, I'm going to let Gabriela start talking. I've got a bit of an idea about what she wants to say, just haven't had the time to let her get going...you know how these girls are, once they open their mouths you cant shut them up!Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371767512022913349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857775826978446187.post-26652551524684294132011-11-19T18:22:18.096-08:002011-11-19T18:22:18.096-08:00Yes, flesh it out and tell Gabriela's story. ...Yes, flesh it out and tell Gabriela's story.

I have a very vague novel idea and it won't leave me alone. But I don't know the whole story at all. Just the MC and one other character. I actually sat down to a blank screen on Monday and just let her (my MC) talk. I needed to see where she was going so I could get a better feel for her and the story she is demanding to tell. It did help doing this. I don't have the whole story yet, but I have a better idea of it and my MC. You might want to try it.Kelly Hashwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936313159809041986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857775826978446187.post-15546588498514752012011-11-16T02:35:43.463-08:002011-11-16T02:35:43.463-08:00Mikki, I love dreaming characters, too.

I'll be writing about this as a verse for children.
