quote: You write, even if you don't know how the scene should play, whether you feel like it or not, whether you believe not one cares. (DeVries)

superstition: If you move into a new house, first carry in a loaf of bread and a dish of salt for good luck. It shows the spirits of the house that you mean them and the house no harm.

everyday omen: speaking of loafs of bread. Consider a loaf of bread sitting in the middle of a crossroad. (Yes, I did encounter one!) Surely that means: lots of bread (money) a whole loaf full even!

The Same Scene in Three Books! Argh!

I write in the morning for a couple hours and at night for another couple hours. (In between is Tiger work and amusing the cats.) But I learned not to write the same series morning and night when I ended up with the same scene in three! books in that series. No wonder I thought I was having Deja-vu when editing!

Luckily I caught it at the third edit or so...After deciding which story the scene made the most sense in...I did major renovations in all three stories...and two of them needed a brand new, relevant scene to fill the hole taking out the repeating scene made in two of the stories.

Have you ever put the same scene in more than one story by mistake? Or are you a more stately writer, finishing one book before starting six more...

merry day, Sara
