Excellent insight. And you are so right when you write: "Graphs and theories can be infinitely helpful tools when it comes to creating novels. But the key is to listen to your story and trust that it will find its own way through." Thanks for that much needed reminder as I set aside my "structure" and dive head first into my 3rd novel.

That's awesome. And so are you! Namaste and a Hug, Lee I love the notion of characters being “volatile chemicals” who will “find their own way through the plot.” That’s awesome. And so are you!
Namaste and a Hug,

I wrote my own writing guide down today, listing the guiding points I remind myself of over and over as I make my way through my manuscript. In case I ever wanted to hand them out (or in case I ever forgot!). I should post them online! Your "the problem can be the solution" is one of my favorites. :D Funny.

You've mentioned this before, and I'm so glad I read this before an upcoming workshop. Now I can ask the writers, "What seems to be the problem?" Thanks, Sara, and have a Happy Fourth!
