Doing My Head In
Oh boy. Grant is another hero doing my head in. Like Simon, he's supposed to be easy-going. He's not a complex man, he's supposed to be an easy write.
Ha ha - it is to laugh! When has any of my heroes been easy to write lately?
For example, I'm writing away, when suddenly in the story Grant's hand slips and he touches - suffice it to say that I tried to tell him he couldn't do that, it was a sleazy move, and he countered by saying it was an honest mistake. And it was. But still...
On the plus side, I am halfway through 2 weeks annual leave from my day job, and writing almost all day every day, which has been great. I'm halfway through chapter 3 already!
Got Evie (cat) asleep behind me on the filing cabinet, Lily (cat) curled up on a chair by my side, Leo (dog) asleep on a mat beside me, Diet Coke on the desk, music going...this is the life!
As long as I don't choke it out of Grant first...

You'll also be happy to know that Grant has survived so far. The heroine...she's lucky to have made it this far. I've had to go back and keep tweaking, tweaking, re-tweaking. I'm almost all tweaked out!

I wrote this scene last night...felt really happy (wow, Grant, that was sooooo bad of you), then woke up this morning and went...ummm...maybe I better re-read what he just did!!!
Grant being a bad boy Angela? I so love your bad boys!!!! Can't wait to read his story. Debbie

LOL! Sometimes even the nice boys surprise me!!! The worst thing is when I think 'I really like this scene, but I'm not sure it suits the book!'

From what I remember Grant had his moments.. grumpy moments too. :)
Im so excited for his book :D
Hope I do him justice. He wasn't grumpy yesterday...well, much...okay, he did do something that *fanning face* okay...I need more Diet Coke
Okay, you have a day job too!? Props, woman for getting these books out as often as you do. I know it's not easy, but especially with a day job. Brava!! ;)

I think everyone has really busy lives- and knowing people enjoy the books makes it so much easier to write when I'd rather slack off and watch TV *wink*
