You're the best@!<br /><br />Katie - I don't always have those zones - I too sometimes have to "pull teeth" to get a scene or chapter to come out. But when the zone does happen, yes, it is a blessed thing indeed.<br /><br />Karen - I get that feedback a lot. So much so that I may have to put Hug on top of the list of priority - even though it's the farthest from completion, sigh ...<br /><br />Mari - You're daughter is right - we novelists ARE nuts! (wink)<br /><br />Stephen - I appreciate the kind words, and from reading and working on your new novel, I can see the "zone" at work a lot!<br /><br />Helena - thanks, and as I replied earlier, I'm going to put Hugs on top of my WIP list, so - dunno exactly when, but for sure by year's end - and of course I'll keep VBT posted. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://theoldsilly.com" rel="nofollow">Marvin D Wilson</a>The Old Sillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661188622348794193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970569328265348295.post-22868381164661943182010-03-23T04:09:43.302-07:002010-03-23T04:09:43.302-07:00What an interesting interview!

Thank you Marv and Maggie. <br /><br />Marvin, it's great to learn more about how you wrote Owen Fiddler and the books you're working on at the moment. They all sound good, but the 3rd one in particular sounds really, really intriguing. I love the title and like Karen, I would want to read it! When do you think any or all of your WIPs might be finished?<br /><br />Helena<br />http://www.helenaharper.comHelena Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391901089362614607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970569328265348295.post-30224086667857356812010-03-22T20:34:22.344-07:002010-03-22T20:34:22.344-07:00Marv, its great to be in that writer's zone.

Marv is one of the better ones in the business. I'll attest to that.<br /><br />Stephen TrempAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970569328265348295.post-39937229981323399572010-03-22T18:35:54.422-07:002010-03-22T18:35:54.422-07:00Since I write non -fiction, I don't have chara...Since I write non -fiction, I don't have characters waking me up thank goodnesss. LOL But I must tell my 15 year-old, who's interested in writing fiction, that this happens. She read an interview with another author who said the same thing and she thought the woman was crazy!<br /><br />Each of your three WIPs sound quite fascinating.

Unfortunately, for the most part, my stories are sometimes like pulling teeth, and I spend a lot of time brainstorming about the twists and turns in my plot.
