What'll happen is you'll go in the direction that works first, then perhaps out of the blue, that first idea will germinate into another book. :-)<BR/><BR/>THinking of the beginning is the easy part, Kate? I totally agree! There have been several times I've reached the end of the partial to then go, Now what?

Much depth, much higher stakes, a much more Alpha hero.<BR/>And yes it was the question -- why and why should this matter to him/ And to her? thatwas driving me me mad.<BR/>Then my heor basically said -- I'm alpha.You ask me why and I tell you. Further more I am NOT a Roman tribune, so get that idea clean out of your head. I am a merchant trader. It is going to work because he has his reasons. And she has hers and money doesn't come into it but honour does.Michelle Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400990189443593076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-1129026173721553252005-10-11T11:22:00.000+01:002005-10-11T11:22:00.000+01:00I'm not taking the blame for this one! You've know...I'm not taking the blame for this one! You've known me - and my dictates on 'The question WHY' for long enough to realise it was just your Muse asking Why this? and why that? that drove you to a rethink. Plus a set of characters who want their story written.<BR/><BR/>I think every writer has a set of novel beginnings that go nowhere - thinking of the beginning is the easy part - it's that susatained storyline with conflict that is the really tricky bit.<BR/><BR/>But as you were so wonderfully complimentary about me and the talk at the workshop I'll let you off. Still not taking the blame <BR/>:-) but I'll acknowledge that what i said might have made you think in a different direction. I hope it results in a really great book.<BR/><BR/><BR/>It was wonderful to see you at the Newcastle workshop and I had a great time - the organisation was superb - Congratulations to you and Anna<BR/><BR/>Kate WalkerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
