Don't be bummed.
THIS is exactly what this prep time is about. I hit a snag during the outlining - a huge middle part I know I'll whine about when its time to actually write it and am talking to friends about punching it up. Hey if we don't love writing it, aint nobody gonna love reading it, eh?

All you need to do is brainstorm with your daughter and punch it up. Make your notes and then keep on going from there. You can go back to start and make repairs afterward.

(And what a precious memory you will be making, doing this with her! It's a gift.)





I write because I am a better person when I spend a good chunk of my time with people who only exist because I made them up."  -- Leslie Budewitz
