As I
sit down to write this blog I think of a line from an old Kenny Rogers' song. He
sits down with his guitar and he’s torn between the things he should do. With my
notebook and pen in hand I too feel torn between the bog I should do and the
scene I struggled with last night.
Usually
when a scene isn’t working I change the point of view. I wish dealing with
people was as easy. You can easily prod
characters in the direction you want them to go. Unfortunately we can’t do that
with some people. I guess that’s why I like to write. Sorry I sidetracked the blog.
When I
couldn’t sleep I took another look at the troubled scene. Drinking a cup of hot
chocolate, which makes everything better, I changed the point of view and the words are flowing a lot easier
now. Last week, I started the second story in the Sweetbriar Series. It is fun
getting to know new characters and their situations.
Until I Met You, the first in the series
is on my editor’s desk, with a release date of Dec. ’13.
Rosemary, I'm so pleased you're working on a new series! Glad hot chocolate and changing point of view got your story flowing again. :)
