Finish what you started

BikiniKat VS. The Super Ugly Beautifuls didn't start from a passion for writing it started as a way for me to put ten million thoughts into one place. BikiniKat's true begining was as a doll I made for my old store called Scairy Hairy Toys, but as soon as I put her on the shelf she had a life of her own. Customers would tell me what her story was and I listened. I took notes and then quite gradually BikiniKat and all of the other characters creeped into my thoughts to such an extent that I swear, when I'm walking through Golden Gate Park, she watches me from behind the trees.

Since then I have devoted myself to finishing this story and now I'm almost at the end. Over the past years I have used three things to help me on my way.

People Power. Asking Power. Hunting Power.

A philosophy my frined Anne Maria has taught me.

Get help from people, ask the right questions and if all else fails go out and get what your need to know.

Here is a great People Power site for you if you are writing, Holly Lisle is very inspirational. I found her while searching for writing podcasts.
