It's so easy for me to get distracted!!! I often run into friends or get chatting with the staff. And then, it's an hour later ... so yes, library all the way!<br /><br />xx, LaurenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18180642.post-87381184235190341702012-06-18T13:37:21.475-05:002012-06-18T13:37:21.475-05:00Karen - Yay (throws confetti) - Thank you for read...Karen - Yay (throws confetti) - Thank you for reading Dixie!!! Glad you giggled :) I am doing my job right!<br /><br />No ipod, no music, although I do sing in the car and am really awful!!!!<br /><br />Yes, I plot pretty extensively, but the characters not as much. They do tend to surprise me sometimes with what they say or do. In all, most of the changes brought about by a character end up enhancing the story.<br /><br />I had PD as a bitter woman in the beginning, but I softened her up and grew to like her so much more when she talked about baking and cooking. It took some revising of her character, but it was worth it!!<br /><br />xx, LaurenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18180642.post-22855110719762139872012-06-18T13:34:02.136-05:002012-06-18T13:34:02.136-05:00Mom Jane ~ Thank you so much!

That seems to make it more special for some readers!<br /><br />And, yes, I think a Book 2 is in order .... and maybe 3!<br /><br />xx, LaurenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18180642.post-14633555050648393562012-06-18T12:26:54.397-05:002012-06-18T12:26:54.397-05:00Much as I love coffee (oh, do I), I can never conc...Much as I love coffee (oh, do I), I can never concentrate enough at a coffeehouse to read, let alone write--so library all the way!

Does that hold true for all of your characters as well? And, how often, if ever, do your characters lead you down a different path from your original plotline?<br /><br />BTW, I started DNiD today. Only on Chapter 4 and I'm loving it and have already had several giggles.Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732638672537005826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18180642.post-86884699835289586482012-06-18T08:15:34.088-05:002012-06-18T08:15:34.088-05:00This sounds like such an awesome story.

I adore the quiet and huge windows where I can glance up and look out over the university campus. There's one study room where a few cats like to stalk their prey (outside the window of course!!)<br /><br />Yes, the library is great! I walk in and feel at peace.<br /><br />xx, LaurenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18180642.post-72683874070497514692012-06-18T07:59:03.475-05:002012-06-18T07:59:03.475-05:00Caroline ~ Lovely to be here!
