I'd be grateful if you passed the word about it. Anyway, would you keep me posted on that fiction project? I've never co-authored a novel.Elizabeth Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207536110886973913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873889619654138974.post-52800714741181907862013-09-26T21:13:26.091-04:002013-09-26T21:13:26.091-04:00Elizabeth, I have a friend who is a professor at U...Elizabeth, I have a friend who is a professor at University of Tampa and we are currently writing a novel together and meet up every Thursday to work on it. Today I took a trip to the college with her to make photo copies for her writing class before we got down to business. I have lived in the Tampa area for 41 years but today was the first time I ever stepped foot on UT's campus. I've passed by it in the car a thousand times and I've always admired it's beauty from the outside. I was treated to a tour of the school by my friend and I found myself completely overwhelmed by the interior of it. The history, the pictures, the ceilings, the moldings, the furniture, the sconces, the chandeliers....... right down to the locks and door knobs!! I left feeling chocked full of inspiration to write our novel. Today we worked on character building. I find myself using the advice and techniques from your book constantly. I will have to remember to thank you on The Tonight Show when our book hits it big and makes it to the big screen one day :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
