Be Free, Little Story!

Today I had meant to work on tweaking my first book.  Turns out I have a few alterations to make. I tried. But book three wouldn't be quiet. Kept pounding around in my head demanding to be set free. So I have 500 words so far, and no signs of stopping just yet!  Sometimes a story demands to get out.

Before planning on revising my first book in my series, I'd planned on just being lazy today and spending the day reading since I have three library books I want to get through, but I made coffee and opened my computer on the off chance that brilliance or something similar to that and hard work would overtake me.  And it did. Sigh, I really want a lazy weekday (Monday does not count because that's still my weekend). But there are only two more books in this series.  The fourth one is going to be so much fun, I can't wait to see how it plays out. Sometimes I feel like a workaholic, and I can't even complain about that because I love my job.  I don't technically get paid for it yet, but someday.

I swear we have the air conditioner on rather than the heat, my fingers are going numb.  Jack Skellington Snuggie, here I come!

Oh, and last night while reading, an idea hit me. So strongly that I have a complete 2,000 words of notes. I have the entire story mapped out pretty much.  Couldn't help it.  Can't wait to start it, but I have three books I have to write before I can delve any deeper into that one!  Zoe has to be written first as well as my two final books of my saga.  I even have a couple bottles of vodka to help with Zoe, just not the time to get drunk.

 Not to mention the fact that I am actually scared of that book a little.  I'm finally admiting it. I'm terrified of Zoe.  That's the book that I'm going to finally make a wave in the market with.  That is the book that is going to take me places. I can feel it, she is such an awesome, strong character. My sister and M both love it, they can't wait to see what happens, I can't wait to see what happens.  But I'm petrified I'll screw it up. The beginning is so strong, so crazy good, I'm very worried I won't be able to continue that vibe, that life that you can feel as you read it.  I don't want it to flounder and fall flat near the middle. It has to be Epic from beginning to end, so I don't work on it often. I'm too nervous!

I'll get there. Let me just boost my confidence a little by getting The Cottage published first, then I'll really delve into Zoe.  Even if that means a constant state of inebriation, okay! Do what you have to, right?

Anyway, back to it. This book is tapping and squirming in my head, begging to be set free. Here I go.
