Lucky Me!

Yes, I am the luckiest writer alive.

I need to remind myself of that when I'm sitting in front of a blank screen.

If I'm honest, I have to admit that I lost a bit of steam in my writing life because my last work in progress was pronounced by my test readers as TOO DARK!

I do have a dark side which some of you have explored through my book Lethally Wedded. 

I must have been way too much in that headspace because my last surfer romance featured guys from the mob nailing people's hands to tables, characters threatening to cover their naked ex with honey and set fire ants loose, a hogtied intruder. Jeepers!

So it was back to drawing board and my first day back what did I do?

Trawled the Internet to find out what really happened to Michael Jackson. Could he be alive?

Browsed Facebook to find out if any of my writer friends are posting gorgeously filtered photos of their perfect desk, laptop open next to a hot frothy cappuccino. (Mine looks more like a dining table with a styrofoam cup of green tea.)

Went to the National Novel Writing Month website so I could peruse the pep talks written by famous authors.

And finally ... opened my new document and spent time with my newly born characters.

And guess what?

I love them!!!
