Rex Racer to the rescue


Here's some notes I wrote on post its on my desk:
On one day:
"Situation Critical" into "Dream Police"
"Someday" Glass Tiger
"Pretty Vegas"
"Romantic Traffic"
"Rest of my Life"

Then I also wrote that I heard the Replacements at Four Peaks.

A quote from Thomas Steinbeck, author, son of John:
"For me, Writing doesn't always mean I'm actually sitting down at the computer. Before I turn on the computer and do any of that, I daydream the story. I daydream a lot. I do it again and again in my mind. And each time I dream it, I add a little more. What I find is that, ultimately, only the good stuff is remembered."

That is so much how I go about my writing. It has been what I have been doing since I was a teenager writing my first novel (Leah's luck of course LOL) Most of my major scenes for Bay Window were plotted in that year before I started. My problem right now is I went in a different direction then originally plotted. Elise led me elsewhere..but she hasn't led me to an end. I am struggling, it is killing me. I have my own pressure to wrap things up yet a hand has not been guiding me to that unknown territory. I had an ending but it doesn't match where I went.
I need Rex Racer to save me...!
