That's so encouraging!<br /><br />It's amazing how much I've changed in the novel since I first started, Sonia. Like you I had to write quite a bit before I could finally see how the scenes linked up.<br /><br />Thank you Glynis and Talli!Deniz Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134553551048836979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-17195320975145746412011-07-26T12:44:45.274-04:002011-07-26T12:44:45.274-04:00Go Deniz go!

I got about 2/3 of the way through my MIP (after rewriting and changing large parts of the first first draft). Then I realized I needed to work out each scene and really see how they connected up. I needed to really flesh out the character profiles too. The character profiles are all done now and I'm hoping to finish my outline this week. Then, I can get back to writing my MIP.Sonia G Medeiroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11769867586033748973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-45284071359051878492011-07-25T15:18:13.486-04:002011-07-25T15:18:13.486-04:00Amazing how characters grow as we write, examine, ...Amazing how characters grow as we write, examine, think, process, think some more, and re-write. <br />Really, Deniz, I will have to find a way to prod you along in your editing process.

Before that, I kept throwing Joseph at Rosa and she kept fighting with him and bringing him down. It took an HP for me to realise who Baha really was, how old he was, and that Rosa should be - and wanted to be - with him.
