You can't take the teacher out of the writer, I guess. <BR/><BR/>Yes, like you, I think an open mind and a willingness to face novel problems may very well be the seed of originality.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting--LynneLynne Griffin and Amy MacKinnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107479565926998943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37180398.post-28866717844812254762008-01-18T07:14:00.000-05:002008-01-18T07:14:00.000-05:00Carleen,Your examples of novel problems will reall...Carleen,<BR/><BR/>Your examples of novel problems will really add a realistic view to my post, thank you!

My problems: How to make her daughter's (the POV character) pain valid and real without making the mother completely unlikable? How to get the mother's side of the story across when she's not a POV character? We'll soon see if I pulled it off!Carleen Bricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433203126527081458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37180398.post-87180427217786139462008-01-17T12:46:00.000-05:002008-01-17T12:46:00.000-05:00Thanks Amy, I appreciate you coming out of hiding....Thanks Amy, I appreciate you coming out of hiding.

It gave me the boost I've been needing to attack my plot again after a rather hard critique. Thanks for the inspiration.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10768439223560550218noreply@blogger.com
