She made me get up and go straight to the computer. She stood next to my chair telling me what to write and tapping her foot because I couldn't type fast enough to suit her. By noon, I had a complete short story that needed only a little tweaking before it went on submission and sold.Carol Kilgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168273312704732896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-27570847677783854532011-11-02T09:25:03.462-04:002011-11-02T09:25:03.462-04:00Thank you all for the kind words, it has been quit...Thank you all for the kind words, it has been quite the journey and those crazy characters are still talking, four more books on the way, and they're all still coming from the back end -- makes for an interesting day. :)C.

Elizabeth - I admire your choice to go with your inspiration even if it didn't come "in order." We all have different ways to tap our story creativity and yours is really innovative.

It matters that we pull that baby out!<br /><br />TeresaT.
