I'll bet as you get on with the story the "fix" will come to you.<br />I often have gaping holes in my stories that almost magically fill themselves in as I progress further with the story. Wishing you all the best. Sounds like you've put too much into this story to give up on it!Ruth Schiffmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625363295823548969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176298515094230212.post-54331672013540780022011-10-05T07:56:35.360-04:002011-10-05T07:56:35.360-04:00Kelly, I sure hope I can fix this hole, since I li...Kelly, I sure hope I can fix this hole, since I like the first half of the story and I like the second half.

If the rest of the story can be written, I'll write it and then go back to fill in the hole. I'm not sure that can always be done, but I've noticed that I don't usually get too far past the hole before I find a way to fix it.Kelly Hashwayhttp://www.kellyhashway.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176298515094230212.post-44269626616684520012011-10-04T23:23:21.260-04:002011-10-04T23:23:21.260-04:00Thanks for the votes of confidence!Thanks for the votes of confidence!Anne E.
