Hi folks,
Well, today I confess I am in a bit of a quandary. I’ve just
finished up a novella (50K words) and gave it to the editor. Darn good thing
too as I have already started on the five book series scheduled for this year. The
quandary? Well, all five of them are talking to me at once.
Let me explain. This is how I write a book. I sit to the
computer, put my hands in place and say, “All right, somebody tell me a story.”
A character comes, often with friends, and so it begins. I have no idea what
will happen next until I write it down.
So now I have five sets of voices trying to tell me a story
all at once, all are interconnected, and each is unique. Argh. Sadly, I know
the answer to the quandary all too well. I fear I must sit down and write an
outline for each story. I must plot and plan.
All I can say is, “Wish me luck.”

Last week I set out my goals for this year. This week saw
some progress on that march. I have sent the 50K novella to the editor and
started on the five book series. I’m about 10K into the first one, but realize
I have to stop and outline all five so they can fit together properly.
So, the goals for this week are: get the outlines written
plus at least another 5K on the lead book. I also hope to get a cover ready for
Frankie. (the novella)
We also hope to get the newsletter out this week. As always there
will be a coupon for a free book as well as excerpts from upcoming books, info and news I
don’t share anywhere else, and more. To sign up for the newsletter just go to
the top of the page. The link is on my smiling face at the right.
Drop me a line and let me know how you’re getting on. I do
love to hear from you.
Until next week,
Bless
Pru
