I am literally on the last page of the rewrite of the rewrite of DANGER LOOMS. As usual, I have all kinds of emotions. There's relief that I actually finished it. And then a loose ends feeling since, it's been my main focus for quite a while. It took precedence and everything else got pushed to the back burner.
Now I have to deal with all of that which includes a lot of chores I chose to ignore. SCONED TO DEATH comes out in a little over a month and I have a guest blog, an author takeover and a blog tour coming up that should help get the word out. But I have to write all those blog and author posts. They have to be different and interesting which is quite a challenge.
Dancing around the edge of my mind is the next Crochet and Crumpet book. The deadline that seemed so far in the future keeps getting closer. I need to start focusing on it.
What's hard about all of this is that, at least for me, I can't grit my teeth. knuckle down, or spend hours at my computer (which thankfully keeps working) to make it happen. If I do that, it never turns out. I have to let it happen. Let ideas slip into my thoughts until they take off. That's not to say that I won't push my thoughts toward a plot, who dies, who did it, etc, but after that, something has to happen to make it all come alive.
In the meantime, Jakey told me I should make a character based on him in a future book because, as he put it, he's interesting.
