My poor little blog has been neglected very badly. I've been focusing my attention on writing "Jenny and The Bobs", and also on work.
Yesterday, I came across this fabulous list from Ginny Di on youtube. I've been using it to flesh out various characters. It feels like the novel has taken a huge leap forward, and the characters feel real! Several new scenes popped into being as I was answering the questions.
