LOL <br />As you know, my mother's house sold too and we're both moving to apartments - across the hall from each other. (I moved into her house a year and a half ago.) Talk about stress and insanity! I've had to put my WIP on hold too. But, as you mentioned, there's always a bright side and you never know where story ideas will come from.

I was unhappy about that. But then, it inspired my latest mystery, OVER MY DEAD BODY. So, we take what comes along, and complicate it and wa la (and just how do you spell that) you have a plot.
