I envisioned a whole scene--it felt very real, as if it had just happened--but I sent it back. And another one came, magically...I love being a writer! Many miracles every day.<br /><br />Precious nugget: don't do your dishes or make your phone calls (making the bed is okay) until you've done your writing work for the day!<br /><br />Hope you find Mr Cook.<br /><br />S.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337494610769031999.post-62166875399284854552011-03-23T11:49:22.789-06:002011-03-23T11:49:22.789-06:00Sleepless Nib,

I went to my tape collection and couldn't find a Cook tape. But in case it turns up, I still have a tape player (2 actually). And I would share. <br /><br />I ocassionally pop up in the middle of the night and sleepless-walk down to my computer to pounce on the keyboard. I may not produce material any better than what I create during daylight hours, but I have more pages for the week! <br /><br />Conferences have been strong growth hormone for me. Oh-so-long ago, Deb Dixon boiled down scene into Goal-Motivation-Conflict changing my writing. Every speaker who emphasized that the antagonist must be the hero of his own story changed my writing. Donald Maass asking us to make your protagonist do what he/she would never do... <br /><br />These are but a few of the gold nuggets I've received from conference speakers.<br /><br />Best!
