If we cut out ever single thing that didn't advance our plot..then just like you said, our story world would lose a lot of its appeal. It's definitely a balancing act.Katie Gansherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150375338556869812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300538873170007593.post-5525130130332597322009-06-26T13:00:35.849-05:002009-06-26T13:00:35.849-05:00jenette - that huge thumb is in paris! check it o...jenette - that huge thumb is in paris! check it out <a href="http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM1B5H" rel="nofollow">here</a>Jeannie Campbell, LMFThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958943404601029395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300538873170007593.post-24067675125657015202009-06-26T12:53:58.105-05:002009-06-26T12:53:58.105-05:00Wow great invaluable post!

I'm trying to keep things that advance my plot, and weave in historical details without stopping the story to tell something.Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300538873170007593.post-37256429349474416372009-06-26T12:32:25.179-05:002009-06-26T12:32:25.179-05:00I love this book.
