Plotting

           I’m a writer. A novelist. I try to use everything around me in my life, plus whatever comes into my head to research, in plotting a story or series.

            So of course I’ve started pondering how I can use my broken wrist, and how to deal with it, in a story or more. I’ve some ideas. I always have some ideas. But nothing concrete yet.

            Meanwhile, I’ve also been pondering another series idea for Harlequin Romantic Suspense, one I’ve already contemplated with my editor. More research to come next year, but I’m considering how to approach it now.

            If you’ve gotten the impression I’m not writing a lot now, you’re right. But more to come. That’s who I am.

            Meanwhile, I’m typing a lot of this using both hands, sort of. The fingers on my left hand are more mobile, and it doesn’t hurt quite as much to use them as it did a day or two ago when I still could only use my right hand.

            Anyway, today is Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas, everyone!

It must be a relief to be able to type with both hands. I hope the rain hasn't been a problem for you. It's great that you are working on a new idea!

Typing with both hands is definitely better but still far from perfect, Betty. The rain has been okay, and I know we still need it around here. And thanks! I'm definitely glad to be working on a new idea as well as the existing ones.
