Writer’s block

Oh dear. . .I know what I meant to happen next in my novel, but I’m having a hard time letting my main character’s high school sweetheart die. I intend for her to find true love several thousand words down the line, but for right now it’s 1940-something and there are two soldiers standing on his parents’ front porch. And I wish they would go away!

    They fall dead! Stricken by a freak instance of the Spanish Flu!

    I sympathize with writers who have to write scenes like that. It’s hard enough reading it in a book, I can’t imagine writing it after you get attached to the character.

    Hi! I was just looking up “wanted poster for Ned Kelly” as we prepared our own for story of the world vol. 4, when I found your darling boys with said posters. My son and I started looking around your blog and noticed that you have 5 boys and 1 girl. So do we! They even look very close in age to mine. My husband and I also got married in 1995 and have been homeschooling all along. Anyway, I love to meet other families like mine! So, hello, from Seattle.
