Hi Bernard, Thank you for your response regarding plot complexity. I think you do yourself a disservice saying that complex plots are not your forte. A Crowning Mercy comes to mind as a very fine book where the plot is more complex. One final question if I may be so bold. I am currently writing what I think may be a pretty decent historical novel (It may never see the light of day but I get a buzz from it anyway). I actually love writing when I get going and derive great satisfaction from it once I’ve completed a couple thousand words. But getting started feels like being back in school looking forward to homework. Have you ever had similar feeling?? Also I am currently at approx 45K words. Right now and on occasion I can’t figure out where to go with it. If I sit down and struggle over a few hundred words I usually get restarted. It’s almost like struggling to get an old car started in cold weather. Do you ever have similar problems?? Once again Bernard thank you!! Regards Willie
