What organizational method do you use to keep them from landing in another book?SmilingSallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479373067844173653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-49657935992705470402009-03-05T13:04:00.000-05:002009-03-05T13:04:00.000-05:00Stop the spoilers!

It sounds like I need a box of tissue next to me while reading it. <BR/><BR/>Seriously, did anything you learned during the writing of these books come to mind or were of any help or comfort when your dad passed away? I know he is in heaven which is the untimate comfort. <BR/><BR/>I really liked Buggs. Does he grow up to take over Fairlawn?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-91437270026497326972009-03-05T12:57:00.000-05:002009-03-05T12:57:00.000-05:00I would have never noticed the smell from here!

And a couple of the prep scenes, too. And I have faith that Gerald's daughter will come around. Some prayers, I'm learning, don't get answered when we'd like them to. <BR/><BR/>And LOL about the quote in Marlo's new book. I'll have to read that one! She's a great writer. <BR/><BR/>AngieAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15745389922246602752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-44658743461562537382009-03-05T08:42:00.000-05:002009-03-05T08:42:00.000-05:00I know you said you were happy to move on because ...I know you said you were happy to move on because you had completed all of the plot arcs. But when you wrote it, was it hard to go through the process of Jen separating from Gerald and telling him goodbye? I've heard some authors say that characters really get under their skin. And was it not tempting to follow Gerald's daughter a little farther? That was the only piece I wish I could have seen play out, even though it was inferred.<BR/><BR/>I was reading the kudos at the beginning of Marlo Schlaskey's new book <I>If Tomorrow Never Comes</I> last night, and one of them said there were "surprising plot twists reminiscent of Angela Hunt's style"! That made me smile.Mocha with Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16387717261200678465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-13277678850573703622009-03-05T07:18:00.000-05:002009-03-05T07:18:00.000-05:00Well then, glad you moved them to the back porch. ...Well then, glad you moved them to the back porch.
