Writing right along.....

Thought I would post a picture of my two cats in one of their more lovable moments.


Well, this month I started writing a new story and so far it's been sort of a slow but steady progress. Work has been hell, busier than normal, so when I get home at night, I've been fairly tired.

After starting this on August 8th, I now have...:drumroll: 44 pages! Not too shabby when the most I wrote was the first 11 pages. :D I also have a title: Reconstructing Cady. I've laced it with some humor and sexy dialogue. I'm having fun with the story.

Over the weekend I also whipped up a synopsis, but since I'm a pantser, I suspect that synopsis will change a little along the way.

Unfortunately, the reviewer in me has to dig down and work on her September reviews or I won't get them done on time. I'm one of those who has to get her deadline stuff done on time or I feel guilty.

My minimum goal this week is to write twenty more pages.

Coming out of lurkdom

Wow, it has been a while since I posted!

Seems like the summer has flown by and before you know it....

I should write an essay on "How I Spent My Summer Vacation."

I did go on a trip in July. Not to Dallas to swelter it out with the rest of the RWA members, but a trip to Lake Tahoe. Enjoyed it immensely and even came away with an idea for a story. Filing it away in my story idea folder. I think it could work out to be a single title, if I plan it right.

But, I am writing again. Yeah, after spending a lot on editing the past few months, I decided it was time to write again. Kate Pearce is the one who said to just get back to writing. So I did. :)

So far it is going good. A romantic comedy with a sexy premise. Hero is a bad boy and makes no excuses about it. Heroine wants no part of getting involved with him. But, of course, she ends up... Shh....... LOL

Oh, have to mention the past few days have been interesting. I finally buckled down and entered the Brava Novella Contest. Oddly, I started writing this story way back in December before they announced the contest. It's karma, I tell you. :) The story is done and edited. Now I just have to sit back and wait. Won't know any results until October when they pick the 20 finalists. Even if I'm not one of the chosen twenty, I'll be submitting this story somewhere. I kind of like it....

And then, I leave you on a teasing note... Shh...I'm not going to say anything yet on this blog about it. Just keep your eyes opened... ;-)
