I can't remember what I took out or condensed in this story. I think of my books as pretty fluid until they're finalized. I know that makes some writers nuts, but not me. It's all puzzle pieces to shift around. My editor rarely suggests a scene be eliminated, but she's good to let me know what's not working and then I come up with Dawn Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12270552634085160758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413375430298785234.post-72173550020715114662008-10-24T13:10:00.000-07:002008-10-24T13:10:00.000-07:00I love the Blaze line.
