The new story hijacked my brain. Earlier I turned to the dog and said, “Remind me to…” Whatever it was I wanted her to remember — like that was going to work — churned beneath a fresh onslaught of possibilities when I began questioning the hero’s surname. Then I scooped her dinner onto my plate. She tilted her head with gentle concern and watched me mumbling with sad eyes.
In the beginning the story is a cloud of ideas, snippets of dialogue, character voices, situations, and with the current project location, because the setting is important to both the heroine and the hero.
What I don’t know about the characters and events far outweighs what I know. I’ll rewrite the opening several times, and then I’ll tweak the final version until it sings to me.
When the story flows, it’s pure magic and the best job in the world. When my blood, sweat, and tears drip on to the page one painful word at a time, it’s still beats anything else I’ve been paid to do.

Colin, the hero from A Very Demon Christmas With his glamour in place is a typical tall, dark, and dangerously sexy kind of guy. With a few, um, special features. 
Eventually he becomes what he was meant to be — one scary air demon. It’s darn hard to find accurate pictures of my imaginary friends. 
The story is scheduled for release December 20th. I can’t wait to see what the cover artist does!

Lots of things scare me. Heights is definitely on that list. Fear of falling is instinctual and there for a good reason — falling hurts. But I grow stronger (just like characters) by facing my fears and acting anyway.
Anything involving the big ladder makes my tummy lurch alarmingly. Going up the ladder is something I do with trepidation, but coming down is ten times worse. I know this to be true, but it still doesn’t make sense. Is it the visual of having to look down that makes it so much scarier? Or is it just that we usually fall down?
What scares you?

If you’re a frequent reader of this blog, you already know what a serious geek I am. One of the top ten reasons I wanted to write was for the intellectual challenge and the perennial learning I thought would be involved. I was right!
The more I study writing craft the more I have to learn. There are infinite layers to telling a good tale. This is a good thing.

The other day the internet quit working at my house. Sort of — wireless router was still lit up and the ISP modem glowed with steady green lights, but Windows said there was no connection. Half an hour of trying this and that later, IE was working but not Firefox. Another half hour of trial and error, I paused, thinking I might actually get a lot more done unplugged. 
Finally after one and half hours of unscheduled, and totally unproductive, fooling around the connection was solidly back and both browsers functioning smoothly.
I’m addicted to the web. It is the best research tool ever. The internet is also an easy way to stay in touch with friends and family. But I can’t deny it sucks time. Next time it goes down, it may stay there for the count.
