I haven't written anything for the last few weeks - not even a blog post - and there are several reasons for that. Some of it has been that after publishing "Smell the Roses" I felt like taking a little break from writing. Some of it is that life picked up the pace again and I feel like I spend my days running around and just haven't had a lot of time to sit down at my computer. Some of it has been that my husband just got me a new (to us) computer and so I've been waiting while he transferred my files over and got the computer set up. I'm so thankful for this development by the way! My last computer was on it's last legs and there was a real fear that in the middle of writing it would die on me. I saved and backed up my work almost obsessively in fear of losing part of it. Finally, I've been trying to decide what to work on next. I could either start working on book three or I could go back to "Best Laid Plans" and make the necessary changes to it so that I can publish it on Nook and then do the same with "Smell the Roses". I've decided to do the latter. I don't think it will take long, but it will be tedious. Hopefully, I'm right about it not taking long and I can get it out of the way. Honestly, I've been putting it off for a while simply because - well writing is much more interesting and fun. So for those of you who have been after to me to get busy on book three, I'm sorry, but hopefully this step will be over quickly and I will be writing Brooke's story.
I already have some ideas in mind for Brooke's story and I'm very excited about where I see it going. At the beginning of the writing process what I have in mind is brief snippets of the story line. I know maybe ten events that I really want to see happen in the story and sometimes those get integrated into the story and sometimes they get left out, but I love to see how it all develops! I'm already seeing some glimpses into Brooke's past and that's always so helpful as I develop her character further. I'm anxious to get started.
I want to give a HUGE thank you to those who have shared my book on social media or verbally to their friends! I know that helps more than anything! Thank you so much! For those of you who have been such an encouragement to me with your sweet words, thank you! That means so much to me and keeps me energized!
