Call Me A Geek...
But I LOVED this show!!!




Of course I have to wait 'til fall to see the next episode, but it's worth it. As I watched it I got such an urge to work on a young adult manuscript. I happened to have one in a file somewhere that was a good start. No, not about a glee club, I won't copy cat, but I saw the cute tall guy and I thought he'd make an awesome character model. So, we'll see where it goes.

Been a busy last few weeks with kid's activities. I have a 4 day weekend to look forward to starting tomorrow so I hope to get lots of writing done.

Right now I think I'll have a glass of wine and get back to the story.

So This Is What I'm Gonna Do
Edit the whole thing and send it out when it's finished. Thanks to everyone for setting me straight. Sometimes I get too impatient for things to happen. But I'll give myself a maximum of one more week. I don't think that should be a problem. I'm highly motivated. Right now, besides the editing, I just need to write a blurb. Ugh.

In the meantime I've turned my attentions to working on a shortish story (I'm aiming for about 10-12K). It's a bit quirky for me. I'm typically a drama queen when it comes to my writing style, except when I write in first person. This one will be in first person about a middle aged woman who wakes up one morning in her twenty-three year old body and gets a chance to do it all again. It's called Do Overs. I just need to decide if she'll end up with the same man she married the first go-round or if there's someone else out there for her. Should be fun.

I'm am enjoying my first Saturday off. Okay, so I didn't sleep in. I woke early and thought about the writing that needed to get done. Oh well.

A New Collage For A New Story
In order to get me more in the mood (not that I'm not in the mood) to write Forever Home, I made up a new collage and have it on my desktop.










Anyway, it's coming along very nicely. I'm at 61K words now. I really need to tie it up otherwise I'm not going to have a market for it. At the moment I'm thinking Harlequin Superromance, which takes word counts up to 65K. The only think I worry about is that this is a sequel and although the characters from Sweet Forever aren't prominent in Forever Home, I hope that people will be able to read this without feeling their missing out on what happened in the first book. Of course that should encourage them to buy the first book! But I'm making this as stand alone as possible.



Anyway, its a fun read, not as dramatic as some of my other stuff.



Still looking forward to January. I'm more and more sure about working on my fantasy. I've already picked out a model for my hero.



Okay, so maybe using Edward Cullen from Twilight is a bit cliche right now, but he would make a good model for the character. And by the way, I'm really enjoying the book. My daugther is chompin at the bit to get the next book in the series, New Moon. I may have to buy 2 copies, one for each of us!

Well, it's nearly that time. Have to get ready for a fun filled day of data entry. Gack.

Out Of The Comfort Zone
Life has been pretty stressful over here in the Hebert household. I won't go into details except to say that I haven't been able to concentrate on writing for the last few days. I have been able to look over other wips that I've started and put aside though (sometimes I like to check in with old projects to see if there's anything worth keeping, to see if anything sparks my interest).

I think I've mentioned that I have a story that I started working on, oh, probably 17 years ago. A fantasy. It's a very ambitious project that I would love to complete because I love a good fantasy. But this project would be very time consuming, bigger than any project I've taken on before.

Now my question (or questions). Is it a smart idea to write outside your comfort zone? I write contemporary romances. I think I do a pretty good job at it. So should I put it aside to start on a completely new genre? And is it even a good idea for a new writer, who's trying to establish a fan base, to wander away from the genre she's writing in to try something new, or is this something that should be put off to a later date.

Not that I'm ready to jump into it today. I still have to polish up That Kind Of Magic, edit Dreamer's Sea (with it's new beginning) and write the sequel to Sweet Forever. Then I can decide.

The 5th season in New Hampshire has begun. Black Fly season has officially started. They come straight from the bowels of Hell. I'm sure of it. Soon they'll be joined by mosquitos.

I love spring in New Hampshire.
