Happy September. I\u2019m pretty sure you already know what I\u2019m going to say\u2026I can\u2019t believe we are nineteen days away from the first day of fall.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope this makes you laugh. I was all set to talk about my experience with the review program at Hidden Gems. It wasn\u2019t until I found my misplaced copy of my August post, did I realize that\u2019s what I talked about last month. I had written three hundred plus words which I had to scrap. Now I\u2019m stuck with either rehashing an old post or writing something new. I\u2019ve opted for the latter, but find myself clueless.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crazy that is going on in the world has sort of zapped my creative energy. I never expected I would still be working on my book. A few weeks into 2020, I had a writing plan or production schedule. I also inflicted a little self pressure to complete and publish it by a certain date.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that we are almost six months into the pandemic and shelter in place order, I find myself dragging. I love the subject of my book, except for the hole I think I plugged. It\u2019s challenging continuing a series. Now that the book is complete and I\u2019m doing another read- thru, I find myself referring to the other two books, when all I had to do was keep a series bible. Add series bibles to the long list of things I need to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week before last, I reluctantly emailed my editor asking for a new editing slot. I\u2019m pretty sure that was a given seeing I\u2019d already missed the date.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has been a challenge moving on to the next project. In my mind I\u2019m already writing the next book, but that will have to wait until this one heads to the editor.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really think what\u2019s happening is I\u2019m not sure this is the best time [or year] to release book with an alpha billionaire. Or is it? Maybe I\u2019m overthinking that readers don\u2019t want to read. Maybe readers really want to read romance where there are no health boundaries [i.e., Covid 19]? Maybe they want to escape to a world where things were like they used to be. I feel confident in admitting I haven\u2019t got a clue how to write a romance with masks and gloves. Social distancing would be easy. That would involve traveling back to a time where manners and courtship were the basis for romance.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe it\u2019s time for me to get out of my head and get my butt in the chair and write. I need to tell stories that make people feel good. So they can escape the crazy around them and fantasize about what was and how it might possibly be in the future.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s my new plan as I head in to the fourth quarter. Send The Good Girl Part Trois to the editor by the end of this month. The second goal is to put the book up for pre-order on all platform except Amazon. This is a plan I can still live with.

Stay safe and see you next month,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
