For example, one of my stories is about a divorced woman trying to get out of her weight loss program. And they won't let her. I was a strange little kid, by the way. :)C.

...Hi Carole and welcome to the Plotting Princesses.<br /><br />Not all of us are plotters, we have quite a few pantsers in our group. We love to brainstorm ideas. <br /><br />I'm kind of a hybrid myself; I will plot out to a certain extent in that I know my characters and I know certain things that need to happen since I write romantic suspense, but half the fun is finding out where the story will take me. <br /><br />Congratulations on your release, it sounds terrific.Kathy Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440759802997389459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-50229848575321698002012-03-08T15:48:18.276-06:002012-03-08T15:48:18.276-06:00I loved your excerpt, Carole.

My characters pretty much tell me where to go (in my book - LOL). Great interview. Thank you so much for sharing. Love the Plotting Princesses.

First off, in answer to Sylvia's ...Hi Everyone,<br />First off, in answer to Sylvia's question, the recipes fit the stories. For instance, in one of the stories, Out of Character, the hero can't resist bread pudding, so one of the recipes is for Blackberry bread pudding. In Deranged Seating, one of the recipes is Cherie's buns, named after a character. <br /><br />Feedback I've gotten on Deranged Seating is the readers have enjoyed it. Maybe that's because I enjoyed writing it! <br /><br />Vicki, Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to find a fellow short story writer.C.
