So I've spent the last few weeks in full brainstorm mode. Writing is very difficult when you have Acquisitions Editors reading you first novel--your baby--in hopes of that they will purchase it. I am struggling to bite the bullet and get started. Anxiety and impatience is something that will come with the territory as an author and I need to acclimate myself to it.
Soo…I’ve got a lot of the researching out of the way. I’ve written the outline--writing from the hip has never been my workflow. A lot of successful authors see no other way. I like to have a clear idea of where my work is heading. I am in full throttle. My characters are beginning to speak to me and that is a good thing. You know you’ve gotten your ideas together when you can hear your characters’ voices (no I am not losing it). Nothing is better than riding on the interstate and scenes are coming to you faster than you can pull over and write ideas.
I think I am ready. I am ready to conquer this second book even before the first one is sold. I’ve got to get my mojo going. But slowly but surely, it is happening.
