The paranormal thriller which may or may not be tweaked to be a paranormal romance. (it wouldn't be too hard) I finished the darned thing two years ago. And...I'm a much better writer now. Book 2, which is started and I'm having a ball with it, is going GREAT and is going to be a MUCH stronger book than Book 1, even though it has a weaker structural plot! <br /><br />But my YA series is STRONG! Like...oh, crazy wow Strong!<br /><br />GADS! Anyway! Now I'm hungary and I only have an apple.

Love the logo!<br /><br />I've got a novel in a drawer--sometimes finishing strong is to know when you need to pack it up for a while and move on to the next thing. :-)<br /><br />I've done some really fun, crazy writing this morning--total stream of consciousness--and it's led me to a fun place. We'll see.<br /><br />Hm. Truth. I'm checking my mailbox and email.

Sounds so yummy it should be illegal.<br /><br />Sometimes, the diving back inside is way harder than just starting something new, and I commend you for taking it on. It will make you a better writer, as well as making the book better. (But I would reward myself, from time to time, with a little writing time on new novel as well.....you know, because rewards work!)<br /><br />Good luck to you!<br /><br />Shelleystoryqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039684494823420722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693050953762677969.post-32879853337916818092009-08-25T08:36:23.551-05:002009-08-25T08:36:23.551-05:00Wow, I love it when inspiration strikes like that....Wow, I love it when inspiration strikes like that.
