The answer is simple: every single time! *G*<br /><br />I'm not much of a plotter because of this. Every single book has a twist or turn, something someone says or does-- or doesn't do-- that causes the whole thing to take another path. I love that part! I'm excited to see what it is each time!<br /><br />Rather than plotting, I spend a lot of time on character development-- who are they, why, what do they want, why, how would they react in various situations... and why?! :) Once I know them really well, I don't worry as much about what's going to happen in the story-- they take the lead.<br /><br />This book was a great lesson in this. It had the most dramatic turn by far. The first draft was very different and had Sabrina and Luke together in the end! But it never felt quite right, I felt like I was forcing things and I was never happy with it. On the other hand, the scenes when Marc and Sabrina were together were so easy to write, so fun, something just clicked and *finally* I realized that I had the wrong guy! Once I let Marc and Sabrina have their way, everything fell into place :)<br />ErinErin Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216604251011058060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392182043945362363.post-72372946373216649832012-05-30T13:41:25.265-04:002012-05-30T13:41:25.265-04:00Congrats on the new release and on the success of ...Congrats on the new release and on the success of the tour.

While deep ...Thank you so much for this review!! <br /><br />While deep down every author thinks they want 5/5 on every single paragraph of every single book :) (of course we do, right?) I think an enthusiastic, honest review is just as good! I love that you know exactly what worked for you and what didn't. Thank you. And, of course, thanks for reading it in the first place *G*. <br /><br />I love that you like Luke, too. It's really funny, some readers and reviewers don't like him at all, others love him. (I'm in the "love him" camp... and had to write him his own book because of it!)<br /><br />The great thing, as the writer, is to have created characters that make readers really feel something-- one way or another! :)<br /><br />Again, thank you for reading, for the review and for hosting me today!Erin Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216604251011058060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392182043945362363.post-1495210327205276572012-05-30T07:55:57.659-04:002012-05-30T07:55:57.659-04:00These are really great reviews.
