It's interesting, all the love sign books in my local library are "missing," except for one about gay love signs. So I checked that out and it's quite fascinating to have that different take on relationships, lol. Always something to learn--and I doubt I'd ever surpass you in star savvy ;-).Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13615190390845433428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19502635.post-41592683764573163982010-05-01T09:44:17.520-07:002010-05-01T09:44:17.520-07:00Hi Donna,
Excellent article, as usual, my friend. ...Hi Donna,<br />Excellent article, as usual, my friend. :-)<br /><br />I think building your characters personality traits based on their astrological signs is great place to start. I love this. I'm so glad you and I spoke about it too. You'll have to keep me posted as your novel develops. Oh, and I do think you know as much about astrology as I do now. :-)<br /><br />Thanks for the neve blackhttp://neveblack.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19502635.post-34526442410688705742010-04-29T18:27:43.988-07:002010-04-29T18:27:43.988-07:00Thanks for reading, Craig and Jeremy.

And yes, these are in-process thoughts and "lessons," for what that's worth! <br /><br />I know that I will diverge from the plan as I write, but it just helps to know my story and know these people a little better before I start. The eventual plan is to just keep writing novels until I die, so why not figure out a general approach that worksDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13615190390845433428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19502635.post-37277761194151777512010-04-29T18:04:10.067-07:002010-04-29T18:04:10.067-07:00Excellent!

It's exciting, too!Jeremy Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980177431018869829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19502635.post-83827419006290336332010-04-29T02:33:02.238-07:002010-04-29T02:33:02.238-07:00You always cook up the nicest things.

The soup recipe looks excellent (I'm a huge fan of daikon, by the way.)<br /><br />I can relate to much of your thoughts on outlining and character sketches. I'm not slavish to what I develop in the preparation stages, but with these materials established, I have a good sense of who, what, why, when and where, and can prune some of the less Craig Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08101869420537661374noreply@blogger.com
