Lately, when I’m not writing, I’m thinking about my character and what she’s going to do next. She’s constantly telling me things- she wouldn’t wear that, she doesn’t talk like that, she’s a prankster, she kicks ass. Blah, blah, blah. As a matter of fact, the only time she seems to leave me alone is when I’m writing about her life.

I’m pounding words out until my eyes cross. I have a plan, and I’m working it. But my characters seem to be on a different page (pun intended).

I’ve got a guest post up over at All The Blog’s A Page.
It’s about writing inspiration.
Stop by for a visit and leave a comment.

I used the word “new” twice last week in post titles.
My new favorite thing and my new obsession.
A bit of overkill, I confess, but that is what happens when I get excited about stuff.
And I have to tell you, I have been excited about digital media for some time. I am in love with all things gadgety and portable.
Marry that with my love for the written word, and you can quickly surmise that I am now a bit giddy for e-books.
And I am. Not just reading them, but also writing …

really.
The writing/editing is finished.
Just working on some formatting/appearance stuff.
Hoping to upload tomorrow.
That’ll teach me about announcing deadlines.
Sigh.

For the past year, I’ve been focused on how I can write novels and short stories and then break them down for the internet. That kinda sorta worked, but mostly it didn’t.

I’m in the middle of a project, and I only want speedy days. Because the ideas are lining up like planes on a runway, and I don’t want one to take off without me.

New projects abound.  I’ve got more ideas than I have time.  But the funny thing is, I’ve been using pen and paper more than I’ve used my beloved Mac lately.  Don’t know what that’s about, but the words have been flowing, and that is what we writers crave.
Here are a few pics of my favorite work tools- just cause.

Yes, I do use multiple notebooks.  Don’t judge me.
One is blue ink and one is black ink.  Duh.

And of course, my beloved.
So, it’s back to less talking about writing and more writing. …

OK, so my friend T has more books than I can shake a stick at.  Her den will induce book envy in even the most die-hard bibliophile.  But the coup de’ gras is her guest bathroom.She has a bookshelf of an appropriate size loaded with cool reading material.
When The Man and I consolidated homes (i.e., moved in together) the question of what to do with all of my books came up.  Basically, he didn’t think it was cool for me to keep them in boxes and piles in the living …

Love the song by Elton John.  Plus I just love catchy post titles.
I’m back.
A little sad some days.
A little twisted at times.
But here, nonetheless.
Should make for very interesting writing.
I know that I need to finish Riding The Wave for you guys.  In fact, it’s all plotted out.  Just need to do the actual “writing” part.  And I will.  I promise I will.  I may give you one big, long ending, instead of a few “bytes” here and there.  We’ll see.  I do what my muse tells me these days. And …
