Every once in a while an author comes up against a difficult chapter. No matter how many times they rewrite the thing--it never seems to work right. You cut things out, you add things back in, you try to cover all that needs to be covered without bogging the whole story down. But it just won't work. Chapter Seventeen in my ghost story is just such a chapter for me. I'm starting to think one of the ghosts from the story has cursed me so I can't get it right. But which ghost? I'm really holding out hope that it's the warm and friendly ghost and not the icy cold, evil one. I might have to move on to Chapter Eighteen for a while and come back to Seventeen when I have more courage. Or patience. Something I'm a little short on at the moment, my little ghosties--so behave already!
Congratulations! You've just discovered the Mysterious Blog of Sheila A. Nielson
This is where I post hints, work-in-progress concept items, and information about stories that I'm currently working on, but are not published yet. Many of them will never see the light of publication, but then again--maybe they will.
I will not be posting any outside links to this page, so only those who know their way around Blogger will be able to find it. Now that you've found it, keep the secret and let others find it on their own.
