At the moment, I'm feeling like someone put a Bamix blender inside my ear and turned it on. I can't seem to keep a thought that lasts more than 11000 words. Yes, I realise that's a fairly long thought for some - there's no need to get sarcastic -but if you want to make it into a story it falls well short. Unless it's a novella of course.
I think the main problem lies in the fact that I've been deviating from the plan. Instead of sticking to nice safe chick lit books and movies, I've been delving into deeper romances and, I've been listening to sad love songs instead of Lily Allen and Pink AND - naughty me - I've been back on the paranormal trail again becoming addicted to a whole swathe of new trashy TV shows like The Secret Circle And Teen Wolf. This is all well and good, its all research of the romantic kind but it's not helping me finish any of the projects I've already started!
And that's a big fat grrr. I don't like things unfinished.
To make the problem worse, a certain group of readers is harassing me. One group wants the sequel to The Taming of the Bastard out by Christmas - ah, let's get this straight, there's no chance of that. The other is saying they want the sequel to Angel's Bend. We're talking 100 000 words in total people - and I don't type that fast, especially when distracted by my new fetish as seen in these pics..... He's Tyler Hoechlin who plays Derek Hale in Teen Wolf. Now there's a reason to write Paranormal Romance! Of course, it would have to be a completely new story, with eyes and a smile like that, he won't fit into any of the others. Oh God, not another new draft.
