Do The Work.

Mostly what I’ve been thinking is Writing is Hard but the reality is I need to Do The Work.

My favorite line? Too many to pick from but here is one:

The inner critic? His ass is not permitted in the building. Steven Pressfield

I see the word minx in almost every romance novel I read and have the same reaction each time: who uses that word?
Has anyone ever used that word in real life?

Dogs seem to be the go to animal in romance novels. Men who have dogs, women who have dogs, women who love men who have dogs. You get the picture.
Thinking about giving one of my characters a cat.
Just because I can.

P.S. I do like dogs. 🙂

Plotting is finished for Ezra’s story, first two chapters are in draft and already I’m ready to change it all.

Besides the writing, which is hard enough, there are a multitude of things that are to be done.

Searching for a theme is absurdly time consuming. There are so many to look at and consider.
Coming up with topics for the posts. I’ll need a list.
Taking pictures for the posts. That means reminding myself to be aware and capture what I see.

There is more.
But this is a start.
