… when you read too much Celtic myth and watch Aliens too many times?

Well, when I do that, I get To Summon a Demon *grin*

Just have to do the… yes, you’ve guessed it… the sex scene and this one will be finished.

Why is it that when characters are angry at each other the writing just rushes out of my fingertips? LOL Heiress now has a 1k prologue – and it took me about an hour to write.

I obviously need more conflict issues for later in the story. There’s just not enough there for them to be sniping at each other till about 48k *grin*

I need a few more unforgiveable sins for them to angst over.

Isn’t writing fun?

Well, I did it.

I was feeling calm, until about 2 minutes before it was my turn, LOL. Then my heart went into overdrive… but I got into the zone *grin* and before I knew it, the half hour was up.

It was cool. Afterwards.

I have my first chat tonight. Eek.

At least it’s a huge bunch of Samhain authors and I just have a half hour slot that’s officially mine, LOL

And the headache from hell is well and truly back. *sigh*

On the school trudge today (I don’t have a car and can’t glide serenely up to the school gates…) I realised that Heiress needs a prologue. Which is a bit of a bummer. I’ve already subbed the partial and if M&B are crazy enough to request the full, LOL, it’s going to be a completely different story to the one I first presented them.

I think this plot is much stronger than the first one.

This is the one time when it would be easier for a pub to reject me, LOL

Just sneaking in under the wire, LOL

I keep thinking I’ve done my blog splurge for the day, check, and find out I haven’t *grin*

Anyway, Frodo went back to school today. He seemed really happy about it, chuntered on in his own way about what had happened, and sat holding a picture a girl in his class had drawn for him while he was ill.

I got some more written on Heiress while Samwise has one of his nano-naps. He used to sleep for 3 hours in the day and still go to bed at 7. Now I’m lucky if he sleeps for 45 minutes. He’s still tired, but refuses to stay in his cot *sigh*

Heiress is still pants by the way. But it seems to be perking up 😉

Yes. It’s arrived a day early today, so I’ve done nothing but lie around and try to find positions that my head didn’t pound.

So far, none of them worked.

I had a fun time last night on Brenda Williamson’s yahoo group, looking at nekkid pictures of men, posting excerpts and chatting. Brenda’s a fellow Samhellion who’s book’s out this week.

I posted an excerpt of Nimue’s Price… and was really nervous about it. Billionaire and Mackenzie posted easily, but Nimue had my stomach in knots, LOL. I think because it’s the first fantasy story that someone’s paid me for *grin* It seemed to go down well, though, so I’m happy.

Anyway, back to Heiress while The Ent, after the rugby it seems, stomps and rants and puts an IKEA bookshelf together. *grin*

I hacked a chunk out of brain and made 1200 words for Heiress. So pleased about moving on with this story, LOL

Well, it was actually a new chapter four, but they need more problems, hehe. I love being nasty to my characters. *grin*

Today is ‘sorting out Heiress day’… or it would be if it wasn’t for two troublesome Hobbits 😉

How do I know this? Because he’s been a horror today, LOL

Even with Grandma Gandalf here this afternoon, I got nothing done. I spent most of the day as a UN Peacekeeper, forcing two small Hobbits to respect each other’s boundaries 😉 Frodo went to his room seven times.

I gave up trying to concentrate on Bone Magician, but I did manage to read through about 20 more pages of Heiress. And if I do get a request for a full the whole thing has to be rewritten, LOL. Infact, once Bone Magician is out the door, I’m doing just that. I’ve had two sets of first edits on my books and that has shone a bright light on where I’m going wrong. With Heiress, I’m getting retina burns.

I think I’ll be very lucky to get a request on this one, LOL
