I sometimes think I get better ideas than I have the talent or experience for at the time, and when I get stuck, I put them aside, and then a year, two years, even ten years later pull them out and go "oh. THAT's how that's supposed to work."

(sigh) But I am a fabulous (or crazed) rewriter, which must be akin to stalking.<br /><br />It’s said that some authors, like some musicians, write the same story over and over. This seems especially true of children’s authors. What children like, probably tells us something about ourselves.<br />Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.com
