Hi again, Caitlin,

Thanks for getting back to me. Sometimes a scene like you describe just seems to write itself. For example — when a group of kids decide to toss their noisemakers into the river because they think they’re pleasing their teacher, who hates the noise, it’s only logical (and crazy) for the teacher to need rescuing as he wades to keep the noisemakers fom floating. (As in THE UNTEACHABLES.) See how it works? Sometimes the scene you create comes to life and tells you what comes next. I feel very lucky to be the kind of storyteller who thinks that way. It’s fun!

Hope that’s more helpful.                                                                                                –GK–
