A sick child prevented me from doing what I had planned today, poor little guy … don’t know if he just totally overdid it yesterday or if he’s getting another cold, but he couldn’t even sit all the way through lunch and had to lie down—his cheeks are getting redder by the hour and he feels a little warm.

So I donned my fuzzy Minnie Mouse slippers, am keeping an eye on Spare and am hunkering down, going through all my “semi-finished” works and thinking over what to do with them. Recently, I learned of a great opportunity at Har/Silh. They are taking submissions of a 2 paragraph synopsis for romantic suspense stories and will draw five for a chance to pitch your completed book to an editor—I have one that just might work.

And according to Ames, according to Jordan, then next big thing to hit after the blending of urban fantasy (genre blending—uber hot right now) will be stories of the psychic nature—follow the TV trends and you will know what will hit big in books in the coming years, according to these women. So I am thinking of a story I plotted with SJ and BC. We were actually doing to try to write the thing all together but well, we were too busy to get together and work on it—such is life. Now before you go thinking I am trying to steal thunder from the other two ladies, I don’t even have the notes from that. Lost it but good! But the overall idea I kinda remember and I think it would make an interesting story. And besides as I have always said, you take one story outline and give it to several different authors and you’ll get several different stories—I believe that to be true!

so. . . . . . Working on working . . . gotta start somewhere.
