Have I whined enough about the pain of interruptions and switching hats?
Probably. But I’m still feelin’ it so I’m gonna whine some more. I want to write, just write. While I recognize all these other things need to be done, like housework, laundry, shopping, and errands they aren’t nearly as much fun as writing and I do them as little as possible.
No doubt you noticed that gardening, walking the dog, and reading are not on my avoidance list. The reason is simple those are things I like to do, sometimes even more than I like to write, especially when the writing is not flowing smoothly.
But when the words are flowing smoothly, then writing is the world’s best job.
Last week I posted a peek at Amber here, this week I’m introducing Tru. He’s the one on the right.
Here’ Amber’s unedited first impression of him.
She seized the chance to study him. His dark hair was long and fell forward to brush heavy eyebrows that matched the thick lashes framing his dark eyes. He was easily a foot taller than she was and powerfully built. Even knowing he was impossible, a forbidden male, she couldn’t resist another whiff. Dear goddess he smelled wonderful. She forced herself to look away and to swallow her sigh of longing.
Ignoring his offer, she issued another demand. “Get up.”
Again, the man moved slowly, but he obeyed her orders. This was good, because she didn’t want to shoot him. A gunfight could damage the boat’s interior. “Start talking.”
Reading more than one book at a time is pretty much standard practice for me. A non-fiction title I’m reading for information about one of my passions doesn’t interfere with the ebook I’m reading for pleasure, and neither one of those detracts from an audio book, or another novel consumed as market research.
Currently I’ve been doing some investigative reading. While busy consuming titles that related to my latest wild idea I was reminded how much I like Lorelei James Rough Riders series and how long it had been since I read one. Happily she’s been busy writing and I just added three of her newest books. If you enjoy a hot cowboy romance and you aren’t already reading her, saddle up and head over to her Amazon page one of her stories is free.
While trying to find the perfect generic description for a classic bar of soap, I ran across this article on one man’s obsession with Pears. I understand his behavior perfectly. I hate having a favorite product disappear or change.
Currently I’m spending way too much time trying to decide how many tubes of my new favorite lipstick I need. How long will one tube last? How long will I last? Will there be an even better product? Nah, perfect is perfect.
How much is too much? Just where is the line between hoarding and prudent stock of a terrific product?
Do you stock up on favorites? Or do you enjoy the hunt for new favorites?
The new project is creeping toward the two-thirds complete mark, which is a bit like hump day. For reasons I will never understand the beginning is always painfully slow, then gradually I pick up speed and the last third goes much faster.
This is the cast of A Promise of Amber, from left to right Amber, Hunter, and Tru. The images are fairly close to how I envisioned them. Later this fall, I’ll post what the talented cover artist comes up with.
Here’s an unedited description of Amber from Hunter.
In contrast, even when Amber’s fae magic had settled back to nothing but shards of gold glittering fromin her pretty brown eyes, the little Psi was smokin’ hot. Her signature smell made his mouth water to lick every inch of her. And if her natural fragrance wasn’t enough temptation for him to handle, a riot of pale curls tumbled over her slender shoulders begging for his touch. She had a delicate bone structure that seemed too fragile to house the hot temper and the hotter passion rolling off her in waves.
