You helped me examine a scene in my current nip that just was not working. I realized that the scene lacked something, but I could not pinpoint it. You covered it nicely; my obstical was not primal or urgent enough. After reading your post I am making necessary changes and it is flowing much better.Melissa Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268333458796847721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-88933848922858254012010-12-31T19:18:36.539-06:002010-12-31T19:18:36.539-06:00Wendy : The name's Robert Taylor of IVANHOE fa...Wendy : The name's Robert Taylor of IVANHOE fame.

Lo...I didn't know that about DH Lawrence. Wow!<br /><br />Love the 'one sick puppy' comment, made me smile.<br /><br />In my first, and favorite wip, I couldn't think of the right antagonist...I didn't have a focused obstacle. It was just general and vague....but I think I've got it figured out. I just need to focus it and make it more intense. This helped me conclude that, thanks.<br /><br />I hope you have a very wonderful new year!The Words Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520267901489487512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-48704417638028778592010-12-31T17:42:44.597-06:002010-12-31T17:42:44.597-06:00Happy New Year!!
