This morning, I woke with an idea. Not so strange, everyone has ideas. However, this idea began a spark and then a fire and before I knew it, I was typing out the premise and little scenes in my mind for my next book, the one that I declared my mind was "Too thoroughly drained" to begin. And it had an interesting twist, one with which I have toyed for some time.
Wait! my very patient practical side shouts (It's had a lot of practice). You have books to polish, books to push and a platform to establish! Yeah, I know.
It occurred to me then, that while I enjoy the entire process of books, reading included, writing is my preference. Possibly because when I'm in the zone, the words just come...to be edited for sure, but it's an invigorating and enjoyable experience. What's less enjoyable, but almost more important, is the marketing, the putting forth, the publicly declaring myself for the world to see. It's not in my nature, but I am working on it!
In the meantime, I may just make a deal with myself that I'm allowed a couple of hours' a day to begin the new book..
