    Hi, Everybody. I’m a little late, but here I am. Will work for a bit on the second novel, set in Chicago, the one about the socially awkward bookseller and his equally awkward florist friend. Thanks to everybody who came out to our Skype conversation last week. It was terrific to hear about your projects. We talked about themes and subplots and secondary character development. Here’s to getting down the first draft, then re-shaping! That’s whereI am now. Good writing today, folks!

    Distracted recently by my genealogy research, but Randi is always in the back of my mind. I just checked my horoscope, and also did something that I thought I might share, As a hint to prompt the day’s writing: I gave my main characters birthdates and therefore zodiac signs. Reading Randi’s today, I’m ready to tackle her latest frustration with her steady boyfriend’s behavior.not sure if I’ll get to it today, but the astrology column has been a fruitful resource.

      Bobbi, I suppose any archetype would do, in addition to the zodiac. But that is one way to delineate characters, for sure.

        blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } Thanks. I think I’m finally understanding how to use archetypes.
