Hello, friends. I hope you’re all having a busy and productive week!
I am giving What She Knew one more run-through before sending it to my editor at the end of this week. With the pressure of a deadline, I’m suddenly coming up with great ideas for amping up the drama, so I’m rewriting like crazy. I’m also juggling a couple of other projects and trying to keep up in the garden.
As a result, blog day snuck up on me, and my well is dry. I have no epiphanies, no wisdom, nothing but a heartfelt hello to all of you out there. Thanks for stopping by!
Take good care of yourselves, and I’ll try to do better next week. In the meantime, the tomatoes are coming! Pics are, too.
Oh, one more thing: The Foreign Language of Friends is on sale for another day or so. If you’re interested in getting it for $.99, follow this link: http://tinyurl.com/nocgg6w

Exciting! All the very best with the rewrites. Are you doing anything different to generate the extra ideas? – I’m playing with mind maps this evening to try and tease out some more elements to my story. So far, so good but I’d love to hear what works for other people

No, nothing different. The novel has been in process for more than two years. The nonfiction book is an idea I’ve kicked around for three or four years. Only the next novel, the one I’m researching, is new. This idea came when some genealogy revealed my great-great grandmother to be someone different from who I thought she was.
I keep a file in Google docs of ideas that come to me. I’m afraid I won’t get them all done in my lifetime. The bigger problem is keeping a consistent work schedule so I get them done…something I’m getting better at (I hope).

Just wait until you hear about the latest Challenge, Three days of quotations Challenge … I have been nominated, so it is highly likely you will be nominated too!! 😉

Ha! Well, the novel will be off to the editor by the end of the week, so that will be a big item off my plate! I saw the Three days of quotations on one of the blogs I follow, so I figured it would come around somehow!
