But even great writers have to climb it.<BR/><BR/>Reality,<BR/>Arthur Golden took ten years for Memoirs of a Geisha too.

Creating it is different than choosing it. I wonder what it looked like? Was it dark, dangerous and forbidding or was it a vast, beautiful wonder like the Himalayas or like the alps in The Sound of Music? They are all awe inspiring and despite outward appearances, there's always potential peril. What a great metaphor.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665632105920753931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37180398.post-66868407763390906652007-10-04T16:03:00.000-04:002007-10-04T16:03:00.000-04:00Hi Jess,Don't you love when you find an author tha...Hi Jess,<BR/><BR/>Don't you love when you find an author that consistently nails the plot and characters--in short, makes the read worthwhile? <BR/><BR/>Hi Larramie,<BR/><BR/>Dive makes it to my favorites list too.

I'll remember that when I head out to my porch in a few minutes to write a scene that's got me flummoxed. One step at a time.
