That is like A LOT of accomplishments. Well done! I hope one day I can accomplish as much as you did. Right now, I'm happy enough if I just complete like one novel.
So long as you haven't lost your job, it's all entirely fixable. Chin up, Lisa, and believe your own words - all will be forgiven, forgotten and/or resolved.
Once upon a time in the 1960's ahem. We had small transistor radios, if we were the lucky ones and the records on radio Luxemburg were the highlights of our teenage years. My typewriter was a pale blue electric and if I made mistakes the paper was scraped and I started again. Dad hired a Ford Anglia car for the holidays. Juke boxes were a 12" x 14" on the wall. Cafes were the in place to go.
Boys wore suits and narrow ties, always looked smart.
Walking was the norm or a bus ride if we had further to go. Bicycles were norm if people could afford one.
Saturday work was a must to earn pocket money.
Plastic poppet beads adorned our necks, not gold.
Conversation and group fun was in at the Café, no facebook or twitter. The local gossips were the grapevine in those days.
We learned maths in our brains and it's still there. No calculaters in those days unless you were an accountant and the calculators were huge, not portable.
Coca cola was bought from a machine and it was chilled and in a glass bottle.
We had lots of fun growing up in the 60's.
Oh yes, Percy Goodfellow's Exploratory Writer's Workshop. I have taken the class 3 times and I learned something new each time. The class is a lot of work but worth the time and effort.
Now, about our characters; I'm with you. When I latch on to a story that I can't get out of my head I start creating the characters and I try to leave nothing out. My wife says that sometimes I get into the characters to the point that she thinks they really exist, even though she knows better. I don't think a writer can know too much about their characters.
And, Jeff Dunham is my favorite ventriloquist; I love his characters.
Good luck with EWW, and say hi to Percy Bob for me.
