I don’t know about you but when that last scene rolled away on the screen of my television, I thought I was going to go through withdrawal by the next day. And then the writer’s strike hit and halted the next season? What in the world? Why was the universe working against us? I needed answers. Isn’t that the way it goes though? I mean we’re all out of control if you think about it. Which drives me crazy. I seek things that I can rely on. I do ‘a’ and ‘b’ happens. That’s the way I like it. I hate doing ‘a’ and waiting….well, is ‘b’ going to happen or what?

And what about when we know what’s best for us? As if…This is a common rub for me. I think I know. Turns out none of us do. And when we’re faced with the opposite, it’s so hard to get over the fact it wasn’t what we thought at all. Which takes me to my next book in progress. It’s nice having one in the hopper before my next release, for once. This one is a bit different.  There is a component that is very unusual to do. It came to me…oh, I guess where most things do, when I’m not thinking in particular of anything. I ran it by my new mentor…the author of Sweet Magnolias, and she gave me the ups and downs of it. I saw each point she made and then decided to do it despite the possibility it wouldn’t go further than the words on the pages. I enjoy the thrill of the ride. The possibility of the ‘yes’! The dream of it making BIG. Of course now that I’ve primed you with curiosity, I have to leave you there. My deepest apologies for this. It’s just that I have to finish the book…the project…the dream of getting a nod from a certain celebrity to have a big mention in it…then I can let the cat out of the bag! At least I hope it goes that way.

Well, I’m off to procrastinate in 15 minute intervals of writing the next ten pages. It’s how I roll. 🙂

Did I mention that I love reviews? I love reading them and finding out who my readers are. Please comment, write a review, or even poke a star on Amazon if you like/love my books. It helps a girl find the passion to keep plugging along.

 

Have a most amazing day and week!
