I so wish I had someone willing to let me bounce some ideas around with. I'm 20K words into a piece that I've been battling with for a couple years. I just need to know if I'm heading in the wrong direction or if this really needs to be separate pieces...several parts built upon each other. ::pulling hair:: I'm having so much fun getting back into writing...it feels so good to create new characters and revisit old friends. 
          	Anyone willing to bounce ideas with me?

Sorry it's taken so long to get back with you. 
          	  Like I said, I've been battling a story that is actually 3 in 1. I hope this doesn't prove to be confusing. I can send you bits and pieces if you'd like.
          	  
          	  1. Dec is violently ill and the hotel dr. refuses to treat him. Bob saves the day.
          	  2. Bob is cornered into hiring a new recruit who isn't all that he first appears to be.
          	  3. A new hire has split personalities making him a danger to all.
          	  A few days ago I decided to just see what would possibly happen if I were able to combine the pieces but I needed to figure out the path from the first to the last.
          	  I came up with a pretty dusty path that I'm trying to clean up.
          	   
          	  Dec is ill...dr called and refuses to treat...Bob reports him to AHPRA...he loses medical license...he and his wife are forced to move...he and his wife raise his wife's nephew...nephew lost parents and twin in accident...he takes on twin's personality (evil)...he creates havoc at IAC when the evil twin comes out to play. 
          	  The dr is woven into the story, here and there. I'm thinking he might somehow redeem himself in the end.
          	  
          	  The hire proves himself but then things start happening that causes Bob, and the other medics, to start questioning motives and skills.
          	  I haven't figured out what brings out the evil twin...can't be stressful situations since being a medic is a stressful job. Maybe a sound or certain smell...something that reminds him of the crash he alone survived.
          	  That's all I have, so far...I'm about 21K words in and am looking at about half of that to flesh out and complete the story.
          	  Let me know what you think and if you'd like a few pieces, let me know. I really do appreciate the input. Thank you!

I didn't realize how long it's actually been since I last updated...or really wrote anything at all. There have been a few little snippets here and there that I've put down but, other than that, the writing bug has flown away. Not really sure how to get it back. My creativity has moved to other areas...mostly cross-stitch and blackwork needle work. I've been doing a lot of cooking and spending time with family and friends. My dad died almost 3 years ago and I've been visiting with my mom 2 hours away twice a month but, as she's grown older, it's every week. Church is a huge part of my life and takes a good bit of it each week. I guess...I'll just have to see what I can do with the few things I've been playing around with. I have one piece that has a medic suffering from DID that has been interesting to work on. I also have another piece with a platypus attack. Sounds comical but can be, and will be very painful for one of the guys. Continue to be patient and I'll do my best to get something out soon. Thank you...

Hi, I was just wondering if an update on Impeccable Timing might be coming soon? It’s a great read that was left on a cliffhanger!

KathrynTownley

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the story. I was just talking updates with someone today. I’m currently juggling new chapters for both this story and Grasping At Straws as well as playing around with a one shot.  I will come up with something but I’m not too sure on the timing. 
            I will give you a tidbit to chew on while you wait. I’m thinking Ant is going to be feeling under the weather too.  
            Please stay patient. I’ll get something out as soon as I can.

::face palm...face palm...face palm:: Publishing the latest chapters to Grasping At Straws has been a nightmare!!! Sorry, y’all. ::shakes head...face palm:: Hope I got it right. 

KathrynTownley

I’m wanting to. I’m going to finish Straws this week. After that my flu story. Then I’ll backtrack and hit the other two I haven’t finished.  My summer is crazy busy with church camps and vacations but I’m going to work on the stories.

@KathrynTownley Are you going to finish some of the other stories you have started such as Teenage Kicks

I have so enjoyed getting back into writing. Before our daughter came along 14 yrs ago, I had written *NSYNC fiction. Their break up put an end to my writing desires but I've found a new muse in Ant and De and I'm having the best time doing what I fell in love with so very long ago. 
          I may someday put up an *NSYNC piece but for now I'm going to stick with the pair of Geordies.
