Despite the snail images, I did write today. I gave myself a headache doing it, too. The monitor is almost 3′ away and after a while, my eyes are strained. Add to it the fact that my glasses’ frame is bent, and it is a wonder I don’t get these headaches every day.
Back to writing. I cut out the not-so-little side trip I took in Simple Sarah. A 7551 word side trip. Oy. So a 40838 word document suddenly became 33287. But I wrote 1306 new words to bring it up to 34593. I do have a better feel for the direction of the book and I do feel much more comfortabler with the romance edge it will have. In the first go ’round, two years ago, there was no kissing or sex until nearly the end. It felt good there. Well, you know what I mean. I think putting anything romantic wise this early in the book will just not work.
Meanwhile, BGCFA is available for pre-order from Star Crossed Productions. Jane Volbrecht, my editor with Regal Crest, also has a book coming out at the same time. I think that is cool. We don’t live very far away from each other so perhaps we can do book signings together in the spring.
