Thank you, Bonnie! It’s got me thinking about my portrayal of the players in my memoir and whether I’ve included enough real-life mind, body, and soul reactions.

Now I can see that natural progression of being so run down that your body throws open the doors to the bugs and says "C'mon in!"<br /><br />Happy writing and thanks for the condolences.

It's easy to miss that sort of thing (like catching colds just when you least need them because your immune system is down) when you're headed for the story's climax.Chicoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16504144663440678542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-90502348471912652422018-05-22T19:17:36.654-04:002018-05-22T19:17:36.654-04:00Interesting interweaving of plot points and physic...Interesting interweaving of plot points and physical/emotional responses - I liked it, a nice reminder of how our story should manifest through the characters physical experience.

It also gives me a little distance to help cope. I'm adding them to my notes for that Crisis moment in my story. <br />Thanks for a great post; sorry to hear about your troubles.
