Plot twists
I’m gearing up for my morning pages. 
I think I’ll set a minimum goal of 5 pages and hope for another 7. Maybe 10 if it’s a good day.
The babies are visiting with Grandma at the moment. Grandmas are wonderful for spoiling, cuddling, and allowing Mommy to get valuable sleep. 
Whereas Dad won’t even consider getting up with a screaming baby at 2 a.m. unless Mom is on her death bed, a Grandma is more than happy to soothe her darling grandbaby. So, this is a true vacation for me. Sleep! Woo hoo! 
I re-read about a hundred pages of MY WILD IRISH ROGUE at the car dealership yesterday and decided that it really is salvageable. But what I’ll need to do is a 3-week synopsis (meaning, it will take me 3 weeks to figure out what the heck I’m doing). Once I have the heroine nailed down, I think I can beat this puppy into submission. 
Her goals are nebulous at the moment. She likes to shop (okay, surely even medieval heroines liked shopping) but that’s about it. I had my hero clearly defined, but the heroine simply reacted to the situations. Must deepen her character. At the moment, she has the depth of a rain puddle.
Basically the goals for today are: 5-7 pages on WEDDED TO THE ENEMY. Read another 100 pages of MWIR and figure out who the heroine is.
Must. Sell. I think Mills & Boon needs to hurry up and call me. I am so NOT GOOD at waiting.

aren’t grandmas the best?? My mom was/is such a great help with the kids. And geez, I still remember her helping out occasionally with those late night feedings so I could get some sleep! And that was YEARS ago. I’m going to be a granma like that. I swear it.
Michelle Says:
Yes, Grandmas are the best in the whole wide world!!

My mom is an awesome grandma, but she’s never helped out with middle-of-the-night feedings. (Which we’re past now, thank goodness!) Hmph. Maybe I need to print out these posts and give her a little peer pressure in case we have another kiddo.
