re: #105 WhatEVs

I have eight chapters written. I know the ending. I’m totally losing the middle…the transition from youth/marriage/death of the spouse…and her life beyond that before we get to the freaky ending.

Oh, the elusive middle. Every writer’s nightmare. Ray Bradbury used to say, if you have an ending work backwards from there. Come to think of it, I recall an interview — in Psychotronic magazine perhaps? — in which he used the phrase “sidle backwards,” like a crab.
