Out In No-Mans' Land…

On the days I don't work on my novel I feel  guilty for leaving Tessa in no-mans’ land.  Tessa has been in no-mans’ land for at least six weeks, although I have been working on the novel I haven’t moved her along.  I have her suck in a conversation with a four year old boy in Boston’s South Station.  She’s stuck there because I can’t seem to get the words right with this conversation.  I’ve been editing the same conversation for over a month and that is not helping Tessa move along.

Today I think I got the conversation the way it should flow, lets at least hope so…for Tessa’s sake.  I won’t know until I go back and read what I wrote the next time I sit to write.  Until then Tessa’s still in no-mans’ land.

Sorry Tessa I’m working on getting you out as soon as I can.
