A Writing Week

Between my joyous morning commitments and mowing the lawn yesterday, I actually found the time to retreat with my laptop to the deck off of my bedroom and write.  The forecast for the entire week is sunny and warm with low humidity, my favorite type of weather.  It's just too nice to be inside on my computer.  The feeling of having a few hours to just write is one I have almost forgotten, as I continually navigate the world of the Internet to market Immortal Obsession.

Self-publishing leaves me responsible for all of my marketing, promotion, however you want to label it, which leaves me less time to work on my novels.  I was  working diligently on Blood Kiss, book two in my series, but I began to realize that this story might be best as book three and so, I began to draft the outline of book two. I am sure this outline will change as I continue writing, but I have the basic idea of the plot.  I can give you a hint: it takes place in the eighteenth century.

Writing takes time, hours of time to relax, let my mind wander and listen as my characters come to life and speak through me.  There is also the research involved in depicting a class of society and a world that no longer exists and so I turn to my numerous wonderful books to aid me.  What a beautiful gift, this lovely spring weather, my laptop and my deck. 

Savor the moments.
