Why is it on the nights you really feel like sleeping your mind never wants to shut off?
When I'm the most tired, my characters feel like they have free reign over my mind. As of last night in all the chaos and as much as I love Michael Marsden he's been demanding that I hurry up and write book 3 in The Lines of Marsden: You Make Me Die In Pieces as he wants Doyle's memories back. He wants his life to get back to normal so he can kick some paranormal arse.
Again if that isn't enough I have other characters both old and knew wanting to be heard over the din inside my head. Vlad has told me I'm on my own and he'll come back when I have some semblance of order restored... I don't see it happening any time soon.
I'm still getting a ton of ideas for new story lines, but to be honest, The Lines of Marsden is kinda taking control. Every spare minute I have I'm working out bits and pieces in upcoming books for that series. I'm going to have to work out a writing schedule and stick to it... Just to make sure I find the time for my other commitments as well... especially for my other publishing houses.
I have also been working on spread sheets for all my series/stories - with pages for character profiles, nationality, species, lineages etc. It's time consuming but I think in the end it will be very beneficial for me to have everything at my finger tips... I'm working on adding blurbs and synopsis to the spread sheets... Wish me luck.
Love the picture pretty art. And I have to tell ya I am happy about your characters not shutting up I DO wish they would let you rest for a few hours so you could give them the attention the little buttheads want but I am happy. :)

They drive me to distraction most days... but Michael and the gang aren't going to let me wait so long between books again.
