Dear Hildie:

 

Now maybe some cool weather for a change.  I’m trying to get five pages a day written. I realize that if I do much more than that I run out of ideas—One of the best pieces of advice I ever read on writing was to always leave a scene unfinished when you quit because it means the next day you don’t have to sit there thinking what to say. The other best piece of advice was not to start at the beginning but AFTER the beginning, and use flashbacks to incorporate the beginning into the text.

 

Have to go now. Client wants something in a hurry.

 

Take care.

 

Love,

M
