• Anticipation…

  
  

  I feel like the Heinz ketchup bottle tipped on its side, waiting for the goodness to pour out while Carly Simon sings in the background.  I’ve been thinking about my characters all day, wondering who they are, how they will turn out.  I’m thinking Ellie and Bobby though will be undergo a name change. 

  
  

  Something I need to remember to do is carry my notebook or palm pilot with me.  I’ve been thinking of words, phrases, chapter endings, scenes and I don’t want to lose any of them.  My characters are taking shape in my mind and but I still know so little about them.  I know where they are headed, I just don’t know yet how they have gotten to where they are presently. 

  
  

  Usually ending a story for me is the hard part.  In this case, I think I know where it will end.  I’m getting tied up at the beginning. 

  
  

  Waiting and Wanting,
