Juggling Chain Saws
Several random thoughts that are all related to the author life:
* Never thought I'd be juggling three books at once-- promoting the first, editing the second, and plotting out the third. Lucky for me this is only a trilogy.
* My editor tells me I shouldn't edit #2 and write #3 at the same time. Frustrating, because as we say down here, I'm chompin' at the bit.
* Speaking of #3, I finally came up with the other major story arc I needed for this volume to be a "go."
* Re my previous blog entry: I've constructed what I believe is quite a strong case for letting "Joey" live. In fact, I've written a full alternate ending to the book incorporating this. So now I just have one little decision--live or die? I think I'll let my editor make the call. Unless I disagree. :)
*I've begun putting together some LEGO minifigures of my characters. This is either a bizarre creative move, or a brilliant way to have my own toy line. Not sure which.
* Naming names: Still haven't decided on a title for #2, but I think I have it down to the final two. I'll let my editor decide after she's read it. My group of discards reads like...a list of overused titles on Amazon.
* Is there a Be Kind to Editors Day? Maybe I should start one, considering what I'm throwing at mine. Watch for falling chain saws.
