She was very nice to this wanna-be writer. It was great to read her guest blog.

And he smiles and says, "Have fun." It's sure better than working for a living. I've done that, too. ;-}Eileen Dreyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038098917893895205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-73751485136521616562010-07-03T16:06:06.651-04:002010-07-03T16:06:06.651-04:00The plot sounds intriguing and knowing how you put...The plot sounds intriguing and knowing how you put it together and the research you did makes it compelling.<br /><br /><a href="http://straightfromhel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Straight From Hel</a>Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-63295987136790145542010-07-03T15:53:17.912-04:002010-07-03T15:53:17.912-04:00I really enjoyed all of Eileen's comments!

But to actually see the stores and churches we write about, like Berry Brothers, where Brummel used to weigh himself on the coffee scale. It truly gave me shivers.Eileen Dreyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038098917893895205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-40145653401201663272010-07-03T13:54:01.858-04:002010-07-03T13:54:01.858-04:00Barely A Lady sounds like a wonderful read.

What a great group! <br /><br />It's great to see other writers here. And just you guys show how each writer has his or her own process. I'm very organic. I just know that if I'm writing, it works. If I'm not, I need to try something else. Jemi, I highly recommend Screenplay by Syd Fields, where he shows you the paradigm. He changed my life.Eileen Dreyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038098917893895205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-79865791755310826762010-07-03T09:14:06.699-04:002010-07-03T09:14:06.699-04:00Thanks for sharing your journey, Eileen.

It's amazing how knowing more facts about a place, an occupation, an emotion even, can take the plotline in a new direction.

It sounds very much like mine - except that I do write scenes out of order. I wish I didn't! You're right: going in order would keep me from skipping the 'hard' scenes, and I might try it.<br /><br />Best to you!<br /><br />- Corra<br /><br /><em><a href="http://corramcfeydon.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">The Victorian Heroine</a></em>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-52458030558870153932010-07-03T07:26:27.867-04:002010-07-03T07:26:27.867-04:00Lou, thank you for your kind words.

I enjoyed learning 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' of BARELY A LADY. Can't wait to read it.<br /><br />Hope everyone has a great day and a super weekend. I may be a bad host today and be absent as we're having a cookout for both of my in-laws and ... well you know how it goes when you try to plan something.
