Setting a goal....after you start a new novel!
Have you ever had unfinished projects and a set time to get them complete...then turn around and find yourself opening a new page and starting a new novel?
It is something that I find myself doing all the time! I was laying in bed last night, or in the wee hours of this morning, unable to sleep, because of this story that would not go away. So, I opened my laptop and wrote the first 2k to get it out of my head enough to rest. Nine out of ten times the title will slap me across the face, then the story just happens...not this time. I wrote the first chapter before the title hit me....Sacred Love....My main character was waiting. She has been building in my mind for a while and I brought her out and place her in this read. Rie Aki, was born in Hawaii, but raised on the main land. Her life was all that any young woman could have dreamed of...until one unfortunate evening as she drove her motorcycle to the store, just a few blocks from her home.
Rie wakes seven years later from a coma, missing part of the body she once had. She will find herself having to learn life as if she was being reborn, and in a sense...she is. Love will have to prove itself to her, because it will be the last thing that she thinks she will be able to deal with....that is, until he shows up. Matt Lamar is a worker on the ranch that Rie goes to, to learn how to start over with two prosthetics that she doesn't want the outside world to know about. At least not until she is comfortable with the new life she has been given.
I truly love this little romance and can't wait to see where it leads me. This will be one of those 'few' months where I do my best to write not one, not two, but three different reads. One novella, one short novel, and who knows how long Sacred Love will be?
So...here is my goal for the next two months. I plan on finishing:
Silver Linings....The sequel to Uncertain Meanings...Decadent Publishing
Damnation: The Beginning....The novella to my short story Damnation....where it goes?????
Sacred Love.....I plan on sending it in to ....Decadent Publishing....with high hopes, and even higher hopes if they take it, that I get the same editor. She really understands how I write and can shape a book like no ones business!!!!!! Rie, this book is for you! I sure hope DP likes it. ;)
I am giving myself 60 days to complete this goal and if all goes well, I will get it done! I have 15 pages in Silver Linings, 22 pages in Damnation The Beginning, and 8 pages in Sacred Love..LOL. We're only talking about 500 pages left to write, with I have no idea how many characters to build.... but what's a goal without a little challenge? I will have my grand-babies three days out of the week, so I will have to double time my writing when I don't. To be honest I will be happy if I finish one of these, but I will be in Hog Heaven if I can do all three..LOL.
Well, that's about it for now. I will make post to keep everyone up-to-date on how the goal is going. It will all start Monday, March the 28th and end May the 28th.....I sure hope I can do this!!!!
