Your process is quite ...Paul, I loved your piece. <br /><br />Your process is quite like mine. Recently I added a new set of featured characters to my 16th book - God, it was so much fun! It's almost like BEING God in a sick sort of way, isn't it? LOL. <br /><br />My new featured lady is in her late twenties, Seneca Indian, mute from a childhood trauma, and totally uneducated re. sign language or reading lips, etc. She was cast aside by her tribe, and lived among the horses in the barn. I named her Catori, then shorted it to Cat, then Kitty. <br /><br />But it is such a thrilling experience. I, too, spent year in technical writing with my R&D job at Kodak. So dry. So boring. But necessary at the time. <br /><br />I'm going to have to check out your books - I love books with psychological themes!<br /><br />Thanks for blogging with us (sorry I was a day late!) and let's keep in touch!<br /><br />-AaronAaron Paul Lazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117814221437165664noreply@blogger.com
