I could definitely see how an outline would help, though I always have trouble with the middle. I know how to begin it and end it (in most cases. I have never known how to end Cornelius), but I don't know how to get there. Have you experienced that?

Okay, number 8 sounds absolutely hilarious to me. Well, all of it sounds hilarious, but number 8 especially so. XD

The middle is only a problem if I can't figure out how to connect two different parts, or if I lose interest in what I'm doing.

Number 8 is fun. ^^

How quickly do you lose interest in what you're doing?

If it has a Las Vegas drag queen, it's bound to be. XD Does she sing "I'm just a Sweet Transvestite" while she's there?

Well, one thing I struggle with is pacing. I'll get to a boring bit and it'll start to drag and I'll just wander off and find something more interesting to do. I'm working on that.

XD Sadly she does not. She's one of my favorite characters, but she's only part of the action very briefly, though she does come back into the boys' lives later on, after this book is over.

Every time I leave for a couple of days, I miss chapters of your writing.

Aww, there's only been the one chapter really. The rest has just been my rambling. ^^ Did you have a good trip? Did you bring me back a Megan?
