After 248 days,
for the first time, I don't feel like writing a blog post. I looked at the seven topics for the coming
days. None of them sparked an interest. What is wrong? Well, let's see.... I believe my muse is excited that one
adventure is ending and a new adventure is starting.
As I wrote on
May 1st, I am participating in the Great Novel Challenge by writing a 40,000+
word novel every two months. With June
coming to an end, my first novel is due on Sunday. Last night, I thought I had three more scenes
to write. As I finished up scene 28, I
realized that in fact this was the last scene.
I am so excited. I now have five
days left of the challenge. I will edit
the last four scenes and hand it over to my first reader. I will also work on the formatting and book
cover. I really think I can have the
book up on kindle for sale by July 1.
Too cool. Knowing I am so close
is making it hard to think about blog posts.
The other
difficulty is that I am stoked for my next writing project. My husband suggested that I try a romance for
something different. He mentioned this a
couple weeks ago. I have been letting
the idea ruminate in my head. Vali, my
muse, finally set me straight. I had
been thinking a contemporary story. She
wants one completely different. I am going
to write a tragic love story set in the 1940s in Kalispell, Montana. I am nervous.
The last time I attempted a love story it turned into a ghost hunting
story. I am hoping I am a stronger
writer and can pull it off. We will see. Wish me luck!
