I know God places these plots and character twists in my head and prompts me to wake up enough to remember what ran through my mind. So for two days, I've been simmering. A great start to my second book hit me at two a.m. and has stuck in my mind waiting to be put on paper. My mother keeps saying, "I hope you're writing all these ideas you're having down so yo...
