New Idea ~ I Think...

Okay, this is what has been bugging me for the last week or so. I can't seem to get the damn thing out of my head... So I'm hoping that someone out there can help me decide if this is a new story idea for me... OR ...a book I have already read.

This is what I know/have running around inside my head...

NEW DREAM/STORY IDEA (03/03/2016)

·       Guy lives moves to live with his father who lives with Step mother/brother & sister…

·       Step mother is some sort of clothes designer.

·      Guy goes to have a shower SB takes his clothes both dirty and clean and leaves in their place a long skirt and like a girl cardi—when he goes to his room the minimal amount of clothing he has is gone as well.

·      Forced with going naked/with a towel/ or wearing the outfit left Guy gets dressed and heads out to find out where his clothes are.

·       SB is with a group of his friends and laughs when guy walks out in an ankle length skirt.

·    Guy ignores SB and heads straight towards his father—his SM sees him in her design and instead of going off like he and the SB thought she likes the way he looks and has a photographer take photo’s of him—guy is kind of taken aback by the attention…especially when SM asks him to think about modelling more of her stuff (which is all geared towards females).

·       SB isn’t happy that his joke backfired.

·       Father/ SM/ SS are cranky with SB and think as punishment (Just deserts) the AB can wear the male clothes to Guy’s Female clothes in each photo.

·       Neither realise how well the photos go over and they get offered more and more work.

·    In one early session the photographer asks them to be more intimate—almost kissing…intense looks… tender caresses. One kiss actually lands and starts changing everything.

·       During these sessions the more the guy and SB spend together the more they get to know each other they find they actually like each other and have a lot in common.

·       Okay for SB to Tease Guy, but if anyone else does SB gets very protective.

·    Family doesn’t mind—shocked maybe—but are supportive—If too taboo I can change to SB Best Friend.

·       Probably just a one off book told in the POV of Guy/SB, & SS (so we get a third POV for when talking to family and friends).

Why Is It...

Why is it... when you think you have everything under control something comes along to stuff you up? I'm now two days behind in my new writing schedule because of Emily... 

A) had to go to UNI for some careers day thing and then realised they had enrolled her in the wrong class--they messed up by one number--so that had to get sorted out and now I have to spend more money on UNI books... at least the wrong class has to be done next semester so she already has those books.

B) Her automatic car is shuddering so now tomorrow I'll be interrupted because I'll have to pick her up and drop her off at the mechanics--which is in the next town over--fingers crossed it isn't anything expensive.

Kids... they drive me nuts, but I gotta love them.

I won't have time this year to compete in DRitC this year, which I'm a little bummed about. But I'll still be doing NaNoWriMo--I'm not sure what stories yet as I'll be doing 1 & a bit novella's to make up the 50K quota.

Today I Am...

Today I'm working on The Connelly Chronicles 2: Beautiful Goodbyes... I have 5 days to try and get it finished in... as on the 6th of March I need to work on the following:

Hidden Hearts 3: Going By The Book

Lancaster's way 3: Pre-loved

Moon Runners 2: I Won't let You Go

PS: Happy first day back at uni to my daughter, Emily S who is studying Law. May today be the start of a great year.

This Is How...

Any Nickelback fan would have sung this posts title followed by "You remind me, of what I really am" don't worry I did the exact same thing so you aren't alone. You're not a true fan unless you sing along.

This post is more than likely going to be a ramble as that is the mood I am in. I want to explain a little about what is going on inside my head... Starting with why I changed the 2016 writing list still will have the the same amount of output, but I decided to shelve any new series and concentrate on existing series. I marked the Novels all the rest are 40K Novellas.

Holy Guacamole...

**RANT ON** I think I should seriously consider taking up drinking... that's how shitty my life is going right now... actually it's not even shitty... it's more I have so much to do and no time to do it in... I seem to be run off my feet and getting nowhere. This has been my day thus far... Centrelink needs a copy of my mother's marriage certificate (she got married in 1953)... because she is married in another state I have to apply on line... they will only accept certain size file, but the info they want is bigger than the size allowable. So Centrelink tells me, instead of a MC to go and get my mum (who is 84) an 18+ card (photo Id) so I had to drive two towns over to the City of Ipswich's Queensland Transport Department and apply for the Id... they won't do the Id without a copy of her marriage certificate... it's a no win situation. **RANT OVER**

I just filled in the BIF for Wardens of the Guild 1: The Real You... I'll let you know when I actually sign the contract with Pride.

I'm also doing Galley Proof on The Freedomers 1: Zephania's Chance... for Fireborn.

So Much To Do & No Fricken Time.

I've been so busy for the last two months that I haven't had time to get hardly any writing done... I've been dealing with Accountants, Tax Office, Doctors, High School, University, and Centrelink... I haven't even had time to scratch myself.

I've just heard that Wardens Of The Guild 1: The Real You is going to be offered a contract by Pride Publishing... I'm filling in the BIF as we speak, and will send back to the awesome Faith BB tomorrow. I will finish and submit The Connelly Chronicles 2: Beautiful Goodbyes by March 5th.

I've also just completed EIC edits on The Freedomers 1: Zephania's Chance and sent them back to the amazing Kathy K at Fireborn Publishing.

I think we are will be up to Galley Proof on Intended Mates 1: Lay Your Body Down next... The wonderful Christie N will be sure to let me know what's going on.
