Wonderful post by fellow writer Joe Pineda. I was feeling a bit of number #2 as I hashed out my "ten key scenes" as per Victoria Schmidt's Book In A Month. It's amazing how much you learn about what you don't know once you sit down to create a world and characters to fill that world. It's reassuring to know that other people also feel the same way sometimes. Thanks, Joe, for putting a smile on my face!
