It happens to me all of the time. I am writing and one of the people I show my first drafts to are reading and suggest that something isn’t clear, or could be different. While they sit there I start to rewrite a section that the reader had a concern with and the next thing I know, something completely different is flowing and I am typing like a word addict. Some say I get this odd look on my face, like I am on another planet, until I am finished.

Abby loved her house and her furniture. Her dining room table was her favorite and now it was an accessory to a crime. Of the thousands of hand crafted, Ethan Allen tables that had been used for distributing drugs or making tidy razor formed lines of coke or had marijuana sorted seed from stem, this table was supportive of one of the most creative drug activities possible. On a carefully split open trash bag, taped securely over the top and around the legs of the table, Eddie had set up a limited production facility.
