Fired up
Nothing like success to motivate you to succeed, right? Saw yesterday that a prolific list creator on Amazon.com had included The King's Rebel on her list of favorite medieval romances. Duly motivated to engage in not one but two writing sessions as a result.
And was promptly caught unawares when a heretofore background character stood up and announced, "I believe I shall have a starring role for a spell!" This happens frequently--someone you think is important fades into a minor role in a book while someone else takes over. And yes, I know I'm the writer, but seriously, sometimes you just feel like a funnel for this, this Thing, which is your story/book/muse and it's best to simply sit back and watch it unfold. Besides, you can always edit later (although something tells me Aunt Constance will not be edited quietly...).
