span style=”font-size:180%;”M/spany Wonderful Husband is brilliant. I was moping around this weekend, trying to get back into the novel, when he said (something like): “Well, you’ve been doing great with those freelance articles and their deadlines. Maybe you should enter a contest and give yourself a deadline for finishing the book.”br /br /Instantly, I remembered my plans — before 2008 went wonky — to enter iWalking in the Dark/i into the a href=”http://www.rwamysterysuspense.org/contestunpublished.html”Daphne Du Maurier Unpublished Contest/a run by the a href=”www.rwamysterysuspense.org”Kiss of Death/a chapter of the RWA. I have the requisite 15 pages polished to a shine. Now all I need is a one page synopsis.br /br /I like writing with a road map.
I started this book the way I start most of my projects, with a chapter-by-chapter (or scene-by-scene) outline. Revisiting that outline, especially in light of all the changes in the past year, and creating a new synopsis sounds like a wonderful way to get back in to the world of my story.br /br /And I always have worked better with a deadline. It’s the journalist in me.br /br /God bless my WH. He knows how to stop a mope.-
