Sneaky

We're reaching the home stretch with our move, and I'm panicking and freaking out (anyone who has moved knows this feeling!), so I thought I would sneak away from it all for a moment and blog just a tiny bit.

I miss my writing.  I miss escaping into a world with exciting people.  Don't get me wrong -- I love my friends and family tremendously!  But they aren't quite as wild and daring as the people I get to work with when my imagination gets going.  I miss plunging into a scene, having merely a vague idea of what is going to happen, and watching it develop under my fingertips.  I miss that feeling of sitting back and rereading what I've written and discovering with a bit of surprise that it's actually pretty good.

On a side note, I found that Evan Marshall, author of The Marshall Plan for Novel Writing, now has software available that guides you through the outlining process.  Has anyone tried it?  It's a bit expensive, but I'm seriously considering it.  Outlining is not my forte.

All right, that's probably all the time away from packing I can justify.  I do have an exciting contest I'm going to blog about next week.  But I'll keep you in suspense until then!
