Okay, so I sell on a plot synopsis. A short synopsis. A couple of
paragraph synopsis. And since I’m nearly finished with A SEAL Wolf
Diving for Trouble–one of my beta readers suggested moving a couple of
things around, to which I said I had NO TIME. Because I’m due at my
daughter’s house soon and then won’t have time to write. I’m afraid I
might be keeping dogs from fighting the whole time I’m there, *sigh*,
but hope they’ll get along. BUT, I made the time because I want the best
book out there, and so she and I were going back and forth on how to
fix the issues last night, and I’ve been rewriting this morning.
:)
And now that it is really nearly done, I’m opening up a file on the
next book. I’ve made a start. I opened up a file for the next book. Yes.
That’s it. The first step. Without it, no file, no book. And I opened
one on the next one because here I thought I had already for this one
and hadn’t. So I’m a step ahead. One thing was finding my blurb to
remember what I said I was going to write about. That was like two books
ago. And I have 3 more I’m writing.
Then, I typed in the title, which will probably change. And my name.
Which most likely won’t. And….yes, Chapter 1. That’s it. The book is
started. and I have 80,000 words to go. Well, 79,995 technically. Hey,
every word counts. I need to add my bio and that will add a few more
words.
But on SEAL Wolf Diving for Trouble, it ended up at 90,000 words and I
haven’t even added my bio, acknowledgements or dedication. So I know I
can do it.
I just have to take baby steps. I have to get to work on the dreaded
taxes, and I still need to put Phantom Fae in print form, and I need to
send off SEAL Wolf Diving for Trouble after any other changes are made
on Monday. And then it’s nose to the grindstone on working on She-Wolf.
First, since it’s a romance, I have to think of how they’ll meet–hero
and heroine. Since it’s a werewolf story, I have to have the
wolfishness show early too…one running as a wolf, or some such thing.
And I’ll have to show the conflict early on.
That’s my Mission Impossible, and I’m stepping up to the challenge,
as soon as I can. This book is due Jun 1, so no time to lose.
:)
Hope you are having a glorious day! It’s FREEZING here, literally, with more snow showers on the way.
I look outside at them today, and they look just as pretty as they did before they got frostbite.
Have a happy Saturday!
