Thank you for all those kind words. They provide much needed encouragement as I work away through a roadblock in the new novel I'm working on. I well know that feeling of thinking, when life throws unexpected crises in your path, that you are forever drained of all words and will never write again. I'm so sorry you've had to go through that recently due to a family illness, but glad you are back writing again like the true professional you are. It is my privilege to have crossed paths with you as writers and friends these past few years.<br /><br />About creating a mystery before you have a solution. I have a different but similar problem with this new novel: A long beginning and a long ending and a missing middle. The search for the middle story continues!<br /><br />Thank you again for starting my day with that great posting.<br />Dorothy<br />dstephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06201912824917436232noreply@blogger.com
