Deb just left my office. She was giving me grief about not updating the blog more often. Of course, she hit the proverbial nail when she suggested that when I'm don't write, I don't blog. I haven't been writing. Well, I haven't been getting words on paper. But I have been thinking about stories. How do I quantify that?
Here are some of the things I've been working out for HM:
--Sloan's relationship with Jenny. When does he acknowledge that she's more than his daughter's godmother?
--How much should the blizzard impact the story?
--Do I need to deal with Caleb's position being an elected one?
--How many deputies would he realistically have?
--What does the area around the quilt shop look like?
For D&D:
--Where does their money come from?
--How many employees are there?
--What kind of licensing do they need?
--What are the packages they offer?
For TOO (The Other One--I don't have a name yet):
--Should it be on a real street in Pueblo or should I make one up?
--What is the name of the shop?
--I can see the protagonist but don't know her name yet.
--What is she retired from that would give her enough money to open this shop?
When I spell it out like that, it looks like I have been working. I don't have answers to everything yet, but at least I know the questions. And with the boss out today, I may be able to answer some of the questions. Or put words on paper and really feel like I've accomplished something.

Just FYI--I'd make up a street for Pueblo...the roads don't make any kind of sense, so adding another one won't confuse a soul....
That's what I was leaning toward. Should be fun. Like coming up with a name for a character.
