Updates...

Okay, I'm getting back into writing. I have someone cracking the whip on me to make sure that I keep on track. I even managed 5 K yesterday and that's with gasbagging to people on social media. and the funny thing is they don't even work for my publishing houses they work for another one... but they are taking the time every now and again to give me the kick in the arse I need.

I'm hoping to hit 60K on The lines of Marsden 4: The Trail of Red Roses by this Sunday  I know once I get past 50K I'll start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Sad to say, I'm already deviating from the synopsis that I plotted out. Will I ever learn to follow the damn plan? now I have to try and work my way back around to the storyline so it ends up where it's supposed to. Life would be so much easier if I could just stick to the notes I'd meticulously written out... but no... not me... my characters had to go and get all gnarly and start ad-libbing the story to suit themselves. Honestly, I'll be damn glad when this story is done.

It also doesn't help that as soon as I get into a good writing rhythm I suddenly have new story ideas jump into my head... so I have to stop everything and write down notes so that I don't forget anything. It might only be a couple of hundred words, but the last one was 3 K... which would have been better spent being written into one of my current WIPS instead of story idea notes that will just wind up in my back burner books until I can get to it at a later date.

On that note, I will away as I have another 5K to write today.

New Story Idea

These guys are the Stenmark twins are the inspiration for the characters in my new idea. Grant & Warren Stanton (with tie) they are close yet very different people. Warren works for the father's company [not sure what the company is yet] while Grant is a high profile photographer. He refused to work for the father (Oliver Stanton) when they left school and instead decided to make his own way in the world without his father's money or backing. Warren toed the line. He dated a girl his father approved of worked in the department his father dictated and was damn good at his job. He might not always be happy, but he's an adult now and life wasn't always about being happy. Even though Grant went his own way his father never worried, it only seemed to be Warren he was hard on. I should add Warren is the MC in book one.

This is Milou Van Groesen (no clue who they are, I'm assuming they are a model. I'm not even sure if they are male or female, but for my story they are male). This is who I based Derek Miller on he is Grant's best friend, and works for Oliver Stanton. Oliver had his reasons for hiring Derek which you find out in the book. When a death happens Derek &Warren find themselves thrown together. 

What starts as a one-off soon turns into more as Warren's world gets turned upside down. He finds out the world he has lived since he was 18 may have been a lie and he doesn't know how to deal with it all. Through demands of some people and interfering of others, it's a wonder is Warren & Derek ever get together.

Beautiful According To Me

Robson & Other Things

Robson: is growing up so fast it has now been a week since this cute little bundle of psychotic chaos was desexed. I thought that would calm the little guy down━did it? I hear you ask. That would be a big fat no. The vet told me to keep him calm for 4 days after the operation. 10 minutes after getting him home he was chasing Oliver (our other cat) all over the house like a maniac. On the plus side, there seems to have been no side effects to him not having the quiet time afterwards.

Other Things: The weather is finally starting to get a chill to it of a morning and of an evening, but still hot as during the day. I'm trying to get as much writing done this morning as I can because I have to go and mow this arvo... and I won't feel like getting back onto the computer after that. All I'll want to do then is either curl up with a good book or watch a DVD.

I'm working on The Lines of Marsden 4: The Trail of Red Roses again today. Hoping to make it to chapter 10 (36/7K). Wish me luck.

Working On...

I've been working on The Lines of Marsden 4: The Trail of Red Roses. I just finished re-reading, reworking and have started on finishing the story plot line. I'm even kind of following the synopsis I wrote out━GO ME... I know where I need the story to finish so that the next instalment can start so I hope I don't get too sidetracked along the way.

NEW IDEA... or old... depending on how you look at it. I had a dream and it changed the way I'm going to write the Outside The Safety Zone series. I have been working on book 1: Hiding in Plain Sight. It's kind of an end of humanity... or rebuilding of humanity type story. I'm still trying to figure it all out. I guess you will all know when I know.

I'm A Grandma & Other News

OTHER NEWS:

Now that little Grace has finally entered into the world I can finally get back on track. The last 3 months have been a tad hectic for me. Hopefully, now life will start to settle once more. I'm about to jump back into my writing I have four projects on the go. I won't say which ones will get completed first until they are done so that it's a surprise... but I will say just keep an eye on the word count for each story.

Other than that all is well in the world on N.J. Nielsen... No use complaining as no one wants to hear that bullshit anyway. I did just finish rewatching Roswell. Not a bad show, but I did find myself wanting to shake the shit out of some of the characters no and again. I suppose that's what makes it a good story... You can't like them all.
