Have hiked in the Grand Tetons, looked for bears/bison/elk in Yellowstone, driven the BearTooth Highway (white knuckle-inducing and glorious), seen Crazyhorse and Mt. Rushmore (at 10:30 at night), driven past mountain goats in the Badlands, watched enormous ships move the great lake connecting Locks at Sault Saint Marie, driven through CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581277174023785317.post-88368869825955732082016-08-23T13:13:47.890-04:002016-08-23T13:13:47.890-04:00Thanks, Kathleen.

I have a major character who is falling flat because we can't know her interior life. So I need more action. I wish writing were easier.

I'd missed Jan's first workshop, but I did attend the second one. Then when I was taking notes, I think I missed a few things. You filled in the blanks for me! Between taking his workshop and reading this post, it's making me more deliberate with my secondary characters. Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.com
