Lazy Sunday

Just writing away. Not much else on my plate today so I figured I’d do a little writing. Which turned into a lot of writing. Apparently my characters had something to say to me and the world. They are being surprisingly cooperative. Which is a huge bonus I find. Much better than when I have to twist their arms or water board them to get what I want.

The one I’m working on today is something different, a potential series – maybe. It has the prospect anyway but I’m not worrying about any book two or three along the same lines, not yet. Gotta get this one out of my head first before I do something silly like thinking about others. But it’s going pretty well – up to 8600 words in three days of writing it. Well, only if you count yesterday when I went back and did some alterations to my antagonist. Had to make him a little scummier than he was coming off. And, I’m not sure, but I may have overdone it just a smidge. He is definitely not someone any reader will like.

Been pounding away at it today for about two-thirds of the word count, it’s doing that well. I do so love when it just flows, makes me a much happier writer. But now I have numb bum syndrome and need to get up and off the computer for a while. Which is okay, I’ve reached a good spot that I can do that at. And who knows what will pop into my head as I run around doing errands all in an attempt to regain feeling in my lower extremities, lol!

Hope you’re all having a great Sunday ~ Moira

Nothing much

Going on here tonight. Just mucking and messing around. Working on potential book number two. No real clue what it’s about yet just in that stage of getting a few ideas on paper, okay it’s a word doc – same diff, and trying to figure out who my character might be for this ride.

So far I have a gal who thought she knew who she was only to have it all ripped away and rearranged into what her life becomes. Then there’s the guy, he’s got presence and a whole lot of alpha going on with a hint of vulnerability. Pretty much how I like all my guys. In my head I see him as knowing just who he is and where he’s going in the world until she shows up and scrambles his brains. Whereas she doesn’t have a clue who she is until she finds him and then she’s on a mission.

No, this isn’t like a Mission Impossible thing – great movies though – but more of finding some sort of purpose I guess. Anyway, it’s still in the early days, very much a new born babe if you will. And, honestly, I never truly have any idea where something is going until I’m on the road with the characters and suddenly discover I’ve been kidnapped and have no choice but to keep riding along. Yes, my characters like to hijack my perfectly planned ideas and add in their own twist on things. Pretty sure a lot of authors could say the same.

Well, that’s it for tonight, I think I’ll go see what havoc I can create by starting this puppy. Have a good one all ~ Moira

TGIF!

So happy it’s Friday!

I live for Friday’s, that means I have two uninterrupted days to write and do whatever the hell I want. Did laundry already so all I really have to worry about first thing tomorrow is a bit of cleaning.

And, major bonus, it’s supposed to warm up tomorrow! YAY! I can get out and do some shit finally without worrying about freezing something important off. Which, really, I’ve been worrying about a lot in the last few weeks. Though, I will honestly admit, I haven’t had it nearly as bad as some places in Canada. Some places have set record lows. That is not now, nor ever, a fucking record you want to set!

So, what’s the writing game plan for the weekend? Not a clue but I do know that I need to get something new started. It’s either that or sit around and drive myself crazy waiting to hear from the publisher I sent my first book in to.

Well, I think that about does it, I’m off to watch a movie. Night ~ Moira
