It can be anything that works for you.

I'd never heard of it before. Just started using it and it's working great.

Good Luck to you...

Shawn you got me there - no, not with your tale of brainstem knocks, but with the bit about not being able to get into the head of your MC because she's not you.

Snap! (No, not your chin again).

I'm short, brunette and introverted, and chose to write my current MC as a blonde, younger, verbally-distinguished psychologist. Normally I have stayed away from pretty blondes as I find them cliched, but taking on this persona for my MC, it's had me also struggling to get into her head and portray her realistically also.

Thanks for spotting my own challenge, also.

Does it have to be a mirror? I find empty space is a great projection screen :P

Hope things pick up for you...

Wow, Shawna, you have been to hell and back. 2011 was a disappointment, for sure, but here's to a shiny new 2012 for all of us. I hope to see you soon!

Expect the unexpected - that's the lesson I've learned! But it sounds like you are really on a positive track. Good luck with the move, with the interview, and eventually with the writing. There is a season for everything! One. Day. At. A. Time.

Hey, well done. Also, I think it's great to have goals to aim for in your writing. It's hard to hit a target if it hasn't been set. Good luck!
