I always have an idea of where it should start, but most often it changes by the time I'm finished.

I play with the story in my head, have a general idea of where it's going, definitely know how it ends (always with a HEA and the mystery solved). But getting the right beginning, starting the story in the right place, that's always tough. Invariably I'll start at the wrong point and end up having to pitch out a couple of chapters before I get that "Ah yes" moment and now it's the right place for that life-changing event. <br /><br />Great post.Kathy Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440759802997389459noreply@blogger.com
