http://viewfromfairview.blogspot.com/2015/03/plotting.html

Friend and co-critique ND came to our little splinter critique group with an outline that was five pages! And he went through multiple families and had full names, ages, birthdates for...

Sunday, June 1, 2014. My Writing Process Blog Hop. For some reason, my laptop no longer seems to want to talk to my blog.

And I'll be getting a new laptop soon. The reason I'm doing a post is I've been tagged by critique partner and published author Pernille Hughes in a "writing process" blog hop.
