I'm around 25,000 into the fourth and final of of SAS hero series. Working title: His Goodbye Girl.
I find after the set-up I start to falter. Okay we're into the story...how are you two going to make those incremental steps from distrust to trust to a happy ever after that readers will sigh over?
Hero and Heroine are stumbling around the page a bit right now, still changing their minds about their scene goal, or how they feel about things while I follow them with a tuning fork...listening for the right note. And feeling tone deaf. I tell myself it's part of the process, but aw heck can't we miss this part out just this once!
Muse says no. :)
All I want is character honesty but I don't know these two well enough yet and so they keep going two-dimensional on me.
Meanwhile I have a cover for my June release, Bring Him Home, which I'll post as soon as I get approval. That book is done so it's easy to love now. I can't wait to hear how readers feel about it.
Now I'm off to the keyboard chanting the old mantra. You've got yourself through ten books. You'll find your way through the eleventh.
Good luck with your own endeavors this week!

Karina Bliss Thanks, Jacquie, at least I know to expect these sloughs of despond through the book. This too shall pass.
