You know, sometimes I find it worthwhile taking paper and pen outside to play the "what if" game in the sunshine, or going to a cafe and jotting down as many cute-meet scenarios or reasons for throwing a hero and heroine as I can think while sipping a latte. I find chocolate a good antidote too. ;-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-23865645887213902592015-09-11T13:46:53.441+10:002015-09-11T13:46:53.441+10:00Oh, Sue, CONGRATULATIONS on the Koru!!!

You lucky thing, you! <br /><br />Sometimes I think that the harder a book is to write, or start, the better the story is going to be.
