Have I told you how many times I came by here while writing SEVENTY TWO HOURS? Too many to count.

And now that I started another novel, well, “I’m baaacck.” 🙂 Excellent!

Probably because there is no such thing.

I think can sensory description can be important, because cabs in a novel tend to be transitional places where the character is thinking on the course of action. Thise spots in a novel must always be short and sweet and there needs to be ties to the action of the cab ride, or it turns into a ‘coffee break’ moment–not a good thing.

Think about what items, scents, sounds, etc the person in the cab can experience as they ride, and how it can be a bridge to their thoughts/memories/etc. 🙂

Stina, I’ll take your word on that, LOL!

Wendy, I know what you mean–my kids watch that show, too! I think I’d do awful if I ever got into a cash cab–I’m terrible at trivia!

Have a great week all, and thanks for the comments!

But now, everytime I think of one I hear the music and envision the lights that come on when riders enter the cash cab. (A game show which takes place in a taxi, in case you haven’t heard of it.) Dumb, I know. But I can’t help it!
