Excerpt
“She’s going to write a novel, She’s going to write a novel.” announced the small germ of an idea waiting to take form, dancing excitedly through the author”s mind, moving so quickly, it threatened to shake lose of her imagination before it even had a chance to be resolved into something more…..
“Analise“, answered to pile of crumpled papers and deleted files “We’ve heard it all before…..”
“But Grandmother, this time I think she really means it.” answered the thought, as she slowly began to take shape.
“She always really means it.” grumbled all the good ideas and neglected bits of pieces of information and half formed characters that haunted the halls of the sketch work castle they’d laughingly dubbed “The Work in Progress”

“I know, I know”, agreed Analise with a smile that seemed as big as she was.
“Well. then you’d better get to it!” The Grandmother commanded, a smile washing through her ancient eyes, then watched as her quickly growing Grandchild, danced off to catch her writers ear.
