Wow! It's been a couple of months since I last wrote a post. I hope nobody thought I died. Is it because I'm over it? No. Is it because I've run out of ideas? Nope. Is it because the elastic is shot in my underwear? Nah.
It's because I'm working on a new book, working on finding an agent, and taking time to breathe. Let the creative juices rest a while.
So, it's time to get back to work. I'm moving some stuff off the plate and reorganize what's left. This includes the two new books -- a love story and a ghost story. I've found lots of encouragement in the past couple of months.
First, the love story. I'm going to admit right here. It's a little autobiographical. A long-line of making choices, reeling in obsessions, and rolling with the punches. I'll just have to sit back and see what happens.
Second, I recently saw the new film Crimson Peak. What a wonderfully delicious Gothic ghost story. Loved it. It's not quite what my ghost story is about, but the atmosphere reminded me of what I want to kind-of do with mine.
Both are hard to write. Both have been moving rather slowly.
Then there's the agent search. It's slow moving. In fact, it's almost at a complete stand-still. I have lots of leads. I need to write a query letter and read over each agent's requirements. Following the rules is a major part of the search.
