Sum-mer-ti-i-i-i-i-i-ime…and the living is easy…

Everyone’s gone home but me… Shall I blather ’bout the famous tattoo? Or save that fer another day… Hmmmm!

Actually got some good ideas taday… I think, in the future, I’m gonna ‘ave ta try some plottin’. Not a lot, but everytime I weave in some complication, I gots ta figure out right then how I’m gonna resolve it.

That be part a’ what be trippin’ me up right now! Sigh.

Knots arise from floating loose ends? I did not know that. Makes sense…but not much use ta me right now, Q.

Now, well anchored extremities sounds like sex again.

Ya know, ya would think Jane-o be writin’ red hot erotica… Nope. But she does write good hot sex in her stuff. And she has an erotica she’s hopin’ ta publish.And an editor interested in it! But it ain’t her dream ta be an erotica author.

Life ain’t fair. One a’ me dreams is ta be a well known erotica author. But I don’t think I gots it in me…

I know! Practice, practice, practice! I jus’ gots ta practice more at anchoring me extremities!

If you’re not going to re-write the book then I think that Lisa, Jane and Terri have the seed of the solution with:
My answer to plot knots is a fabulous sex scene. One that will melt the ship mast, and boil the rum.

“Just let them have more sex, YES! thats it, let all your characters have more sex.” Well you wanted an opinion, When I don’t know what to do they just end up in bed and then wala, something creative comes to me!

Valid option. Sex does complicate things almost more than shooting someone does.

In other words use a pair of scissors to slice through. Fab sex, natural disaster, air crash, or just throw a few to the sharks as Sin would say.

Of course, from a scientific perspective we know that knots arise from floating loose ends so make sure your extremities are well anchored and you will avoid the problem in the first place. Thats my advice.

I think Jane hit the bar early this morning…

“I know, I know” Lady Jane says, waving her hanky to get Chances attention again! “Just let them have more sex, YES! thats it, let all your characters have more sex.” Well you wanted an opinion, When I don’t know what to do they just end up in bed and then wala, something creative comes to me! “G”

Sin, hon, HEA. I know you’ve heard of this. Think butterflies and daisies.

I’d like to see them all happy too, just throwing something out there. I can’t think of which one I’d let end not as well. Maybe Ivy as she’s the one who has been through the most.

I do want a happy ending fer all four a my characters… But I’m open ta screwin’ around wit’ ‘em…

Hm, this is true. I shoot everyone and then sometimes I ask the questions later but mostly I just leave them to die.

Sabrina – Don’t you love how these people give us paychecks and then expect us to *do* something for them?

Loki – I wouldn’t have made her shoot the horse either. Just sayin’. And we all make stuff up. It’s called being writers. LOL!

Janga has a good point. Perhaps you’re trying too hard to have a happy ending for everyone. Maybe someone doesn’t get that happy ending?

It be a possibility, Janga. I be avoidin’ the finish line fer a reason… I gots ta think about that…
