Funny, how writers all have different takes on what feels natural. :)
Oh, I know. It's been very hard for me sometimes to give myself permission to do things differently from other writers whom I greatly respect. It's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking that their way must be the "right" one -- that since it works so well for them, it's what I ought to be doing as well. But when I try to adopt another writer's methods, more often than not it ends in creative disaster. I think I'm just going to have to blunder along and find my own way. :)
