We love to talk about writing! Here, we share the "nuggets" we've culled from our huge collections of writing books, and chat about what makes us want to roll our eyes or raise our eyebrows.

The other day, Lacey was asking me about my process of completing a project, so I thought I’d post this here with the hopes that it may help those who suffer from “third chapter blues”.
To give a bit of background: I was one of those people who never could complete a story. I would rewrite the first three chapters until I choked my characters with my plot and then dropped the whole thing.
One of my pet peeves is a story where the Hero and Heroine knew each other in the past, yet neither of them realizes their connection until halfway into the story.
Of course there’s always circumstances which can make this situation believable – darkness, amnesia, change of visual identity, mistaken identity, state of mind, etc, etc. Anything is possible. Maybe they were both in complete darkness, young and foolish and drunk. But if its an experience they carry with them, wouldn’t they recognize each other in the beginning of a story?
