A story is feelings.<br /><br />Don't know if I ever told you this before, but I'd written several historicals and wasn't catching on to how to get a contemporary voice, when I decided to read a favorite book for inspiration. There on the pages, you had the characters entering a shabby motel and in the character's viewpoint the lamp looked like something from the Jetsons.<br /><br />Something clicked in my brain and I got it. I understood how to write with a contemporary voice.<br /><br />So thanks. You're my inspiration.Cheryl St.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00947267011326863581noreply@blogger.com
