Hello, all! Sorry for the hiatus. It was certainly longer than I intended. Loss, love, and new puppies have occupied much of my heart…and time. Not that I’ve been entirely idle. In June, I will take my sixth course this year—all related to writing and history, with an eye to filling my creative well. The dogs have finally grown used to my hours on the computer. As a result, they interrupt less often than they did in the beginning. So, while I had been dabbling in writing here and there, I am now gaining momentum daily.
I'm currently working on two different adult romance series, but feel the time has come to decide which one to throw myself into wholeheartedly. One series is contemporary, the other historical. I have written the first novel in each series, am well into the second story in one, and have mapped out all of the books for the two collections. I enjoy delving into both genres. The historical is a slower process as I cross-check facts and get caught up in ensuring the minutia reflects the reality of the times. I do love research though. As for the contemporary line, the setting is a comfortable shoe, and it's fun to simply get swept away with the story. Writing the familiar definitely moves along at a faster pace.
I feel I am positioned to move forward on either. So, what to do? Toss a coin? Spin a dog? Throw a submission out there and let that decide it? As a writer, it’s a wonderful conundrum!
While I debate the pros and cons of each path, I leave my pups, Biscuit and Bean, for your viewing pleasure. 😁
