Notes:
Poor Tara. Poor Annabelle. This guy had better act fast, or seriously,
I’m going to have to write him into his grave next session. Writers can
do that, you know. And this is a short story, so there’s not much time
for him to get this right…

Notes:
Well hell. I thought we were headed toward a compromise, but no. Dang
it. These two are just not cooperating. Although I suppose we still have
a long ways to go before we have to finish their story. Still. Ugh.

This story is just fun. Poor Katie. She’s having a serious mental

it’s not the dream she thinks it is…

Author/Genre: JD/sweet romance
Words written: 316
Total words: 26,847
Time Spent: 15 minutes (break)
Notes:
Whew! After no writing yesterday (tried, failed), I finally found the
end of that insanely long installment! And my lead-in to the next one as
well. Readers may or may not be okay with how this is going, but with
these two, I really have to be careful to keep it from dipping into “too
easy” territory. Because it’s not. They’re complex, and their problems
are complex, and they can’t just be solved in a quick conversation…the
change needs to happen on a deep, psychological level that doesn’t just
happen overnight.
Or maybe I’m just over-analyzing my own characters. That may well be the case too.
