One of those days...

I’m not sure what happened yesterday. After staring at my MSS all day long, I only ended up with a measly 239 new words to show for my time. Pitiful. I’m stuck on a love scene...if you can imagine that. Me...having trouble writing a love scene. It’s unheard of. I know exactly how the scene plays out. I’ve ‘rehearsed’ it in my head a dozen times. I know what is said, how they say it and still...nothing. The words taunt me. They’re on the tip of my tongue but I cannot get them onto paper (or the screen...however you want to look at it). It isn’t one of those instances where I can just ‘move’ the scene. It has to happen here. And now. The whole book is very ‘sex-light’ to begin with. Not sure how my readers are going to react to that anyway. There’s more plot stuff going on in this book and not the getting naked kind of stuff.

We’ll plod on. It’s all I can do at the moment. Wish me luck!

New Ficlet now available!

I just posted a new ficlet from WICKED: TEMPT ME NOT on my yahoo group. I still get tiny pieces of story from these guys and that really makes me wonder if their story is finished. All 4 books were short stories to begin with. The longest one at 25,000 words. I’m beginning to think I need to expand them in some way. Maybe in one long novel, featuring ALL the guys or another short, with each book devoted to each of the characters. I know they’re my most popular books. They still sell as if they were new which leads me to believe, people still want these guys! I know my muse hasn’t stopped thinking about them. The ficlets are proof of that.

So what do you think? Do you want more of Devin, Luke, Christian and Mick? Would you like a long novel featuring them all or shorter pieces that revolve around each one individually? I’m game either way. It doesn’t take much to please me! *wink*

It's Finally Summer!

School is out for the summer, my niece and grandbabies will be here almost constantly, and the flow of water they carry in from the pool leaves my carpets wet and me complaining, while everyone ignores me, as usual.

The sun is shining brightly today, its 91 degrees outside and my desire to be outside, playing in the sun with everyone else, is strong. As it will be tomorrow and the day after that. I’ve said many times I wished I lived somewhere cold year round. Maybe then my muse would be able to concentrate longer, but that isn’t to be.

Living in the south has its advantages, though. These wonderful sunny days for one. The nights are just as fantastic. Sitting on the back deck, sipping a cool drink while the stars number in the thousands overhead and the crickets, cicadas, and frogs serenade you while a warm breeze tickles your skin. Sigh. No, I don’t think I’d give it up. While my productivity may go down in the spring/summer, I know I wouldn’t be happy anywhere else so if I'm not around as much, just imagine me in the pool. I'm sure that's where I am!
