That's how I figure out everything in my stories! Sometimes I think, okay, why did Harvey blackmail Bubba? I have no freaking clue. It doesn't even make sense that he would, considering he doesn't need the money and Bubba's got nothing to give anyway, and besides, Sally would have known about it. On the other hand, what if SALLY was the one who blackmailed Bubba? ...and it goes on like that until the whole thing crystallizes into exactly what happened and why, and it makes so much sense that it feels like I should have known all along.

I've helped with a few Prepper brainstorming sessions, and it's been fun to see plots and characters evolve over the course of the month. I know my own story has evolved a lot, too.

Cheers,
Michelle
