Writing, Editing and Titles
This week has been a busy one and passed rather quickly. I've been putting together the second book in my Mysterious Moonlight m/m vampire series. Funny how stories come to the mind.
I went to dinner a week ago with my husband and my daughter. Lovely place, a family favorite. I'd been agonizing over the story for some time and I'd told my family such. As we enjoyed our meal, my daughter's face lit up with the realization that she was possessed of a marvelous idea and indeed she was.
There at the table, she laid out the story, a wonderful tale of intrigue and things I never expected. She has indeed read and watched tons of vampire and witch movies and books. Her mind exploded with plot and characters, all of which I simply loved. Then she said, "Okay, Mama, now write it."
And that is just what I've been doing, in between getting another Tina book ready to submit. The book thing has been suffering unended for nearly a year and untitled until just a few days ago. Funny, how that happens - some titles come early in the process and other linger until the end and even after.
Serenity's Dream came about early on, while Chocolate, Tea and the Duchess didn't come until the very end, when I wrote the explanation from Phillip Allard as to why a menage made sense. Lord Decadent's Obsession was rather easy, because Prentice Hyde made it so.
I wrote an upcoming Brita book, Splendid Captivity, around the title. That book comes out on January 22, 2011. More on that in time.
I will submit my second Tina book and then back to my vamps. The first book, Love Immortal comes out on December 4th. The third book in the series is on the hard drive in my mind. They are indeed fun to write.
Writing- a wonderful thing, a glorious way to bring life to characters who are terribly demanding, for they wish to have their stories told in their time, not mind. Many a morning, I'm up before the sun, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Until next time,
Luv,
Brita
