I'm Knackered!!!

I spent the whole of Sunday cleaning out my office, because apparently my hubs thinks my library has exploded in there and taken up the whole space and pushed everyone else out. he didn't really appreciate my reply when I said: "Well, you know what to do - extend the office." (For future notice He is extending my office or I should say building me a room of book cases so all my books are in the one place and not all over the house.)

Why is it when you start rearranging and cleaning crap out, the room gets messier and messier? 

I got up early and pulled all the books out of one book case and had them stacked on the kitchen bench and the dining room table and my hubs walks out and goes "Fuck you have a lot of books." which my mum replies with a sarcastic grin, "That's just one book case she has three more to go." (Okay, I admit it - I have a lot of books and they are two deep on every shelf). Em wakes up and takes one look into the room and say: "There's no way in hell I'm getting roped into helping you clean that shit up."

 I can tell you right now - " I'm not feeling the love, people." What happened to family loyalty, and lending a helping hand when needed?

Well anyway, the point I was trying to make was - I cleaned my office and now I can't find anything.

4 Days Later...

Okay, so it's now 4 days later: I still haven't finished Experimentals: Blessed With A Curse - I swear I only have 1 chapter to go. Though I haven't just pushed it to the side I have actually been busy as all get go. 

I am not a plotter: Yet I have found myself going through all my stories and writing a couple of sentences on what I want to happen in each chapter of said story. So far I have done:

Experimentals: Running into Zero Tolerance.
Sons of Evenmore: Blood to Blood
Sons of Evenmore: Beneath A Red Moon
Lancaster's Way: A Different Way of Seeing
Lancaster's Way: Pre-Loved
Hearts Among The Stars: Dancing to the Beat That's Broken
Hearts Among The Stars: In The Next Room
Flood Gates

Next up in  the sorta plotting out are:

The Diamond Rose: Undercover Hearts.
Toowoomba Boys: Dancing with Demons
Toowoomba Boys: Snapshots in Time
Windblown Kisses: His Damsel in Disgrace
Windblown Kisses: Being Jamie's Bear
Day Walkers: Real You
Taking Chances: Lie to Me (Really just need chapters rearranged)
Taking Chances: Pick me up & Dust me off
Pack Matter's: Chasing Dreams of You
Watson Falls: Between One Heartbeat & The Next (Chapter rearranging)
SPAM Inc: Claiming Roxy's Heart

I Have A Plan... Well Sort Of.

As shocking as it is I've actually been thinking about my WIPS and future WIPS.

I'm thinking I'm in need of a priority list on my writing... as it is, I just write on the day whatever takes my fancy whether that's an ongoing story or I start writing something new.

So for the month of April I'm going to concentrate on one story at a time. I'm hoping to finish Experimentals: Blessed With A Curse by Friday the 12th. And then I want to finish both Windblown Kisses: My Knight in Tarnished Armour (Mainly because I thin Ray & Viv's story needs to be told) and The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows.

If there's anything you all need to read from me let me know and I can work it into my priority list... Sometimes I need a kick in the pants to remember that I have other series out there -  LOL. Any way leave me a comment and tell me what you think... Also I'm thinking of doing a Christmas story this year based on characters from any of my stories. So if there is a story you would like to have a Christmas story about let me know.

Story Name Changes & Musical Inspiration

I just went onto a site to vote for a book in some poll when as I'm scanning down the list to see what else is there I come across a book with the same title as on of my whips 'It Started With A Whisper' I was like WTF! Luckily I still have time to change my title before I submit the story... Now It's just thinking of a new one. I'm thinking along the lines of 'Blessed With A Curse'.

So I have been spending all morning listening to Bullet For My Valentine who are my background music inspiration for this series - I might even share with you a little inspirational music.








These are worth the watch - just for Matt Tuck.

Why is it...

Why is it the moment you think you have a handle on what you're doing something happens to throw all your well laid plans out the window... Though today for me it could be a total lack of sleep. I was lying in bed last night and all of a sudden my series Windblown Kisses jumped to mind and I couldn't stop thinking about what I had already written... which is almost the whole of book one - all I was meant to do was fix the head hopping before I subbed it. 

Yeah right!

You know as soon as I started thinking about it there was no hope in hell Vlad was gonna let me rest. I lay there for awhile trying to force myself to sleep, but by 2am I was up with a notepad and biro in my hand writing down everything which was buzzing around in my head. I spent the next 4 hours nutting through the 5 book series and getting things set so when it came time to write I was ready.

The picture here on the left of Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and who I've based my Ray Connelly on. It was his eyes which sucked me in. And on the right is Austin Winkler who I've based my Christopher (Viv) Vivens. Now that you see what I see in my head I only have to add that I now have a total re-write to do on My Knight in Tarnished Armour... same story line just in a different sequence and I'm taking out the cheating because I don't think I need that scene any longer. But we all know me - for me it can all change on a dream.

HAPPY EASTER!!!


HAPPY FRICKEN EASTER

PS: Went and saw 'The Host' and loved it - it was the same as the book but different so I enjoyed it on a whole new level... so worth the watch.... my favourite characters are still Ian, Jeb & Wanda.
