Writing

What I like about writing is it takes me on a journey. I sit down to hammer out a page or two, thinking, just get started, just type, and through all that a twist or a turn develops.

Yesterday, in no more than two paragraphs, I saw the many sides of Jeff Lane: the neglected at the hands of his over scheduled, but affluent parents, the dependent, the true friend, and the troublemaking ring leader. He's an interesting soul. I wonder just what trouble he will bring to Sarah. Or will Charles step in?

I wonder if this next book will be about him? He's a strong character. Maybe that is the lure. Maybe, like Sarah, I'm being sucked in by his boyish charm and attraction to things just a little bit dangerous.
