Yeah, Page 59 in the book starts the section on how to write the middle of your book. Mia, Sarya and I have been a hard time coming up with the middle of our book, we've got the beginning, and we know exactly what happens at the end...it's getting there that's the problem. :)

Ti'glad to be of help'cia
