I have been trying to fight my way through it for MONTHS. <br /><br />With each book, I have had at least one chapter where everything screeched to a stop, and I had no idea why. The odd thing was that looking back at those chapters now, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them, nor is there any hint of whatever-it-was that made everything grind to a halt.<br /><br />But this collage celebrates that I finally finished the fricking chapter (it ended, literally, with a spectacular explosion of magical fireworks) and sent it off to my writing group. <br /><br />They judged it a breathtaking success and are gratifyingly agog to find out what happens next.<br /><br />This was a fun collage to make. It has four separate layers, and I'm pleased that I continue to improve my technical skills.<br /><br /><small>Image description: A woman (Peg) faces the camera, seated in a wing chair in a living room, looking at the screen of her open laptop.
