So, I'm not the only one who gets sidetracked by book ideas or reading my work. <br /><br />My Genesis entry is in, taxes are done, but life situations have kept me from the happy rat-tat-tat of my keyboard. I've decided to use the downtime for reading and idea percolating. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

I really AM a one story at a time kinda girl.<br /><br />I finished book one, did a ton of editing, but needed to put it aside so started to work on book 2. But then I quickly realized that my plot wasn't working as written. I put aside, knowing I needed to work on something else for a while to let it simmer. That something else was book #3. But 10k into it, I acknowledged the need to finish book #2 first. <br /><br />So I rewrote what I'd written on that book... but half way through realized that I needed to let both simmer while I edited/pitched book one and worked on something different.<br /><br />Finished the something different... then started another something different.<br /><br />Alas, now I have 3 books in progress, 2 finished books that could both probably use more edits. LOL. <br /><br />Gotta love writing!<br /><br />Carol... I totally agree!
