The heroine, having recently lost her job, is lying on the couch, watching her favorite soaps, and is amusing herself by color coding an institutional-sized bag of M & M’s. She’s determined that they need to be eaten in this order, only. The brown ones first, just because there’s so many, followed by the yellow ones….<BR/><BR/>Then, in the first chapter, the heroine’s suddenly catapulted from the safety of her Hollywood condo, to the wilds of Colorado, to be with her sister, who’s going through a divorce.<BR/><BR/>It was only on the reread that I noticed the OW trick. Thanks to this blog, I’m at long, last beginning to assimilate some of the mechanics.<BR/><BR/>Linda in St. Petersburg, where it’s a balmy sub-tropical afternoon.<BR/><BR/>p.s. Can anyone suggest any other series authors who write in Deep POV. Wind/Samuels is a master, but I’m hunting for others. thx.smoothseashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091943103358988385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-11031534776494277112008-01-11T21:42:00.000-06:002008-01-11T21:42:00.000-06:00*sigh*I wish you guys were my editor.Or that whoev...*sigh*<BR/><BR/>I wish you guys were my editor.<BR/><BR/>Or that whoever winds up with that job is as good as you guys. <BR/><BR/>(Why is my head full of Mr. Rogers singing, "Won't you be my editor?")Susan Helene Gottfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778191943289129869noreply@blogger.com
