Writing is a funny thing. 

Sometimes it's hahaha funny - like when you're playing with your pen and it goes flying across the room and smacks the dog in the side and he looks at you like what the--? Or you write something that makes you giggle two paragraphs further in the story.

But mostly writing is weird funny because you never know where it's taking you or what you'll find when you arrive or how it will affect you. You might be writing the perfect flawed character only to discover in the middle of the manuscript you're really writing about yourself. Or you start the manuscript writing in third person and when you finish, you're in first. And never realized when you made the change.

Some people think we writers are strange, zoned-out creatures. They could be right :) But I believe we're lucky. Our ability to create characters and have them tell a story is a gift. Don't ever forget that. 

Especially don't forget it when you're staring out the window, deep in the middle of planning a suspenseful scene, and wearing headphones ... and someone touches your shoulder.

The bruising should go away in a week or so.

Blog Roll Clean Up

As promised, I cleaned up my blog roll over the weekend.

Please check the right sidebar to make sure your blog is still listed.

I tried to pay attention and not get carried away, but accidents love me.
And I might have gone a teeny bit crazy :)
But I can find old friends easier - and still have room for new ones!

If your blog is missing, just say so in the comments.

I'll add you right back in.
