While KISS is still under consideration, I recently started my second novel and I have to say, I have never enjoyed writing as much. Maybe this is the norm when you start a new book, but I feel like this is the book I was born to write.
I'm not kidding. This book is my destiny...
I am so revved up by 4:00 p.m, after a day of writing, that I have the new urge to get in a fast car and blast down some German highway.
Just sayin'
PS. Since I am being honest these days, I must confess...Starting this novel caused a few weeks of severe anxiety. Which was weird and scary. I was nervous that I couldn't get what was in my head transferred properly. Thank God it only lasted a few weeks... And you know what changed? When I got stuck, I pretended it was a movie. I sat back and tried to think about how what I was writing might look on screen. What would be the funnest movie version of my concept? And that did it!
Write on people!

Oh, Katie, that's such a great place to be in -- despite anxiety and other issues, you've fallen in love with another project, and that's by far the best feeling in the world. :)
Good luck! Keep us updated.
Great tip. I'm going to have to try doing the movie thing!
Oh, good for you, Katie! Nothing better than being in a groove!
That is so cool ... and what a great way to get past being stuck!!
The Best Feeling Ever!
When I get stuck and worry, I just say, "It doesn't matter because I can always change it later.....It doesn't matter because I can always change it later....." over and over again.
Enjoy the ride!

Yippee!
That's such great news. I took a couple of workshops at the conference where the speakers advised to write the novel you were born to write, and man did you take that and run with it!
Rock on with your bad self. Rock. On.
I'm so happy for you, lady. I know you've been fretting (do you like my chance on Southern terminology?) over the last few weeks so it is nice to see you so excited. Don't lose that momentum!
The start of a new book is always a high for me. Enjoy!
