Too Many Pies, Not Enough Ovens

This one is going to be a short posting as I need to be at a Yard Sale VERY shortly. Chapter Ten proved to be not only a crucial chapter, but one that bogged me down. I wanted to make sure I got the pivotal items in place to begin wrapping up this particular book, but was finding it hard to get in my mind what I wanted to say and put it on paper. After two weeks of brooding over it in my head and making as much progess in that time as what I would in two days, I finally got past the "elephant in the room". Made a phone call to Hardinsburg, posed some situations to them, and Karen helped out tremendously in what began to flow in my head as the ending solution to the abuse/alcohol storyline that I've been working on. I think what slowed me up was trying to reconcile my mind that I was writing fiction beyond the family story that I was patterning Matthew Connor after. Once I came into realization of that, it really started to flow a little easier.


Never the less, it was all still so very slow. Now that I've eased around that elephant, I can finish it up as well as concentrate more on Alexandria and her situation, as well as the bump up of a minor character to a major character status. I still have the next book in which this minor character's complete assimilation into the main family will happen, but the ground work almost ready to be put in place.


If you're wondering about the title of this posting... think of someone that has so many things going on and not enough time in the day to do them all. I think "Too Many Pies, Not Enough Ovens" is very appropriate with what's going on in my life right now.


And with that, it's off to the Yard Sale.
