Slow and Steady
The writing of each book is a new experience. Some flow. Some stumble along. And, though I'm typically a morning person, sometimes my best writing comes out late at night when I should be sleeping.
One thing's for sure though, no matter the journey, it always gets finished.
Someone to Watch Over Me has presented some challenges. I can't pinpoint why, but I trust that everything will happen as it should. So, I'm slow going and keeping faith that the most beautiful story will emerge.
I finished chapter three yesterday and I'm starting chapter four today. As I don't write young adult, starting Angelo and Lucia off at the end of college might be part of what I've been struggling with. Rest assured, it's still a slow, worth the wait, burn.
Here's a cute exchange between Angelo and his little sister, Bella...
“Earth to Angelo.” Bella leans over, waving her hand in front of my face. “Are you even listening to me?” She puts her elbow on the center console, rests her chin on her knuckles, and looks up at me with a pout on her lips.
“I’m sorry, Bells. Yeah, I’m listening. I’m just, uh, you know, paying attention to the traffic.”
She looks around us. “You mean the two other cars on the road that are nowhere near us?”
“Safety first. I have precious cargo in here.” I look down at her and smile.
“Come on. Spill it. You’ve been cranky the last couple weeks. Did you and Lucia have a fight? Why isn’t she with us?”
“No, uh, we didn’t have a fight. A lot’s changing, that’s all. And I have a lot on my mind.” I avoid her question about why Lucia isn’t with us. “I’m so proud you. You’re going to have your pick of schools.”
