I recognise the symptoms now; spending time with my children, having conversations with my husband, cooking, cleaning... Good luck with it :)<br /><br />CaitAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17841671676949163570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10621341.post-51662564540231761452009-10-14T00:39:42.152+08:002009-10-14T00:39:42.152+08:00Thanks, Christina!

I know once I get started I'll be fine, but this *blinking* research it's a black hole, sucking me in and under!!<br /><br />Debs thank you so much for your congrats!

And thank you for that lovely confidence boost!<br /><br />Catherine I may well take you up on that. Occasionally a title will come to me and it's completely perfect but other times it's like driving a rusty nail through the brain!<br /><br />Suz, thanks - if I can just clarify in my own mind exactly WHAT the hero is doing in the opening scene, I'll be fine. I think. At least, I hope!!Christina Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394771634788090193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10621341.post-90996755677133128842009-10-13T20:13:40.793+08:002009-10-13T20:13:40.793+08:00Yay with angel being at agent.
