Book Winner

The winner of the book drawing is Robyn L. I thought your Valentine story was very touching, so e-mail me your mailing address, and tell me which book you’d like. I’ll drop it in the mail.

We had a relaxing Valentines Day at home, complete with take-out dinner and chocolates. It was nice and low-key. I’ve been working on my new stories, and got a few pages in tonight. I seem to have attention problems when I start new books. I waffle around from story to story until I settle on one for the duration. None of the pages are ever wasted, and I have a few chapters on various manuscripts that will eventually have their time. My mind works like a stove and I have several pots simmering at once. Sometimes a story isn’t done cooking yet, and it isn’t ready for me to write it. I got about 7 pages into Ewan’s story, and it wasn’t right. So he went back on the burner, and I’m thinking about him some more. I have a wonderful heroine picked out for him, but I didn’t start the book in the right place.

I’ve been working on my Irish-Viking story and after starting that book also in the wrong place, I found the correct story opening the other day. It was like opening a window, and the words started flowing. And wow, is that hero something else. To quote a Southern phrase, I could sop him up with a biscuit. Mmm…

But don’t worry. Ewan will get his book one day. But he’s such a special character to me, I want to be sure I give him the best possible story. :typing:

Have a wonderful weekend!

    I find I have to have AT LEAST 3 beginnings to every story… :shock:

    I just found the perfect beginning for my story…after 3 or 4 tries. But like you said, it’s like opening a window. Now the words and story details are starting to flow again. Capturing them is my plan for the weekend.
