Beginning a New Writing Project

Writers know this: When a new character starts talking to you, they won't give up until you give in and tell their story. Ariadne (Deedy) Cross told me that she had enrolled in graduate studies, and as a result had received a grant to catalogue a private library. I was excited for her. I was even more excited when she told me where the library was located -- Crete!

Since Deedy has never been far from her home in Pine Mountain, Missouri, she couldn't resist the adventure--and neither could I. But rather than have her story begin at the university, I started it with her arrival in Crete where she meets her new boss, Jason Storonysius (a Chris Hansen look-alike)(Yummy)!

I'm hoping the meter at the left of the page goes up by leaps and bounds. Join me -- better yet -- get your own meter and let me check on your progress as we go along.

Happy Writing, Nita
