Taking a New Direction

I have been ridiculously unmotivated for a few weeks. I think it stems from the fact that I thought I was ready to work on this story but the truth is that I’m not. This is the longest story I have ever written by far (60K and climbing as I edit) and it needs work. It was written as a fast draft so now going back to do the edits is rough. Not to mention that my writing in the present versus my writing then has grown by leaps and bounds. While this is a good thing I am doing a lot of rewriting of whole scenes instead of adjusting some wording here and placing a comma there.

This story is really close to my heart and I AM going to finish these edits but I think that I've been rushing it. I want to finish this story so badly that I can taste it and I have no patience. Regardless of how I feel about the situation the story seems to have a mind of it’s own and I am forced to play a waiting game. Oh well. I’m going to have to pull something else out and work on that instead until this story calls to me again. Whenever that is. *sigh*

Anyway the story I’m working on is called “What Doesn’t Kill You” and no it is not a thriller lol.

Here is the blurb:

After Talia’s grandmother looses an ugly battle with breast cancer, life looses all meaning. That is until she meets Mark. His sincerity and sexy grin sparks something inside her that she long thought she'd lost. Passion.

Divorced with a three year old daughter, Mark isn't looking for love, but for Talia he is willing to take a chance. Her witty banter and playful antics intrigue him, but he senses something is keeping her at a distance. Can Mark reach past the fortress that is forever guarding Talia’s heart or will her overbearing insecurities be the force than finally succeeds in driving him away?



Until next time.

So I Seem to be at a Standstill

I am having a heck of a time trying to edit this WIP. The weird part is that I really love this WIP and I really love editing it, but something is holding me back. Every time I sit to work on it I just can't do it. I can't even make myself click the icon to open the file. Oh God, what is wrong with me!


There are so many ideas floating around my head for this story. I can see it all playing out the way I want it to. I wrote this story In January and my writing has grown so much since then. As I edit I find myself saying a whole lot of, "God what was I thinking when I wrote this." But the great thing about this is I actually realize what needs to be fixed and I actually know how to do it!

Now if I could just get my butt in gear and move this thing along I could sub it. *sigh*
Well I've gone on long enough about this topic I'm going to try and edit. *wink*

Until next time.

A New Journey

Welcome and thank you for joining me on my newest journey of life and love. Romance and writing have both been big parts of my life for many, many years. Now I feel the time has come for me to share this love with others. My thoughts, ideas and works in progress (WIPs) will all be shared on this blog and I hope you will love reading them as much as I will love writing them. I want to take the time to thank all of the people who have encouraged me thus far. Without you I never would have had the courage to embark on this adventurous journey. Now sadly I must go (to work on those most dreaded...er I mean beloved edits.

Until next time.
