Sounds like you had a great time in Toronto! I'm glad to hear your life is back in balance and you have time to create again. I'm looking forward to hearing how TSBC is progressing.
Thanks, Louise. Progress on TSBC has been an interesting ride. I've created a new outline that changed the story, and now as I'm revising the draft content, I've hit a point where I'm writing almost completely new content. I've thought about writing about the ride but haven't figured out how to without explaining plot points and giving away spoilers.
Naming the pull toward the next workshop instead of the writing desk is more honest than most conference recaps manage. Did the multiple POV idea survive contact with an actual draft yet, or is it still in the exciting-in-theory stage?
I'm revising a current work-in-progress, but I came home and added notes about how the multi-POV could work in my Scrivener file for the future project. And I'll continue to ponder the implications and write notes as they develop for when I'm ready to start drafting.

Banking the notes while the idea's warm seems the right call. Good luck with the revision, it sounds like it's quietly become a rewrite.
Thanks, my resistance to full rewrites wasn't so quiet a couple of months ago, but now I'm seeing the value in rewriting it and it's flowing well.
Funny how the resistance quiets once you’re actually inside the rewrite and it starts moving. Glad it’s flowing.
