Ode to a Word-Weary NaNoWriMo Brain
With two days to go until the end of National Novel Writing Month, I made it beyond the 50,000-word goal. Amen! Thanks to everyone who encouraged (and put up with) me.
If I indeed found my AWOL muse, I suspect she will be packing her bags for a much needed vacation.
Ode to an AWOL Muse
I have had a heck of a time finding my muse in the past months. Consequently, my writing has slowed to something that feels far less than a crawl. Deadlines have been pushed back, repeatedly. LAC 13 should be out, and I should be working on LAC 14. Neither is true, and that makes me miserable and probably quite difficult to be around. Yet, it makes sense: My lifeblood is inert.
On November 1st, I desperately—but I hope not foolishly—signed on for National Novel Writing Month, joining many, many others in their endeavor to write 50,000 words in the month of November. In order to achieve that, a minimum of 1,667 words must be written each day. When the muse is absent, that feels a lot like pulling 1,667 teeth from my own tight-lipped head.
But…
If I’m lucky, if I persevere, I just may find my muse on one of those days. Lollygagging somewhere, I imagine. She’ll smile at me, ask what took me so long to find her, and be more than eager to help me on my way.
In the meantime, I’ll be typing—madly typing—with crossed fingers.
A New Short Story Available
Another of my short stories, “Cookery,” has been added to the LAC Bookstore. It’s a freebie in ePub, PDF, and Mobi formats. Alternately, you can view the PDF here via the Free Short Stories link in the menu to your right.
Free Short Stories
There are now a few of my short stories in the LAC Bookstore. They’re available for free in PDF, ePub (iPod, iPad, Nook, etc.), and Mobi for Kindle. They are also available in PDF here.
The Watson Evidence was my first McCallister book that didn’t have short stories as part of it. As I worked on it, I found myself missing the immediate, albeit quick, high that comes from writing short pieces. So, I wrote a couple and have another in the works. The stories in the McCallister series, though, served a purpose in the plot itself. These are just shots in the dark. Whims.
Meanwhile, I’m working on the thirteenth book in the Lesbian Adventure Club series.
The Watson Evidence Released
The ebook version of The Watson Evidence has been released in the LAC bookstore.
The paperback should be available in a couple weeks.
The 4th Laura McCallister Book
The Watson Evidence, the fourth book in the Detective Laura McCallister series, is complete and should be released by mid-July. It’s the first non-mystery in the series. It’s more character-driven this time, falling into the realm of self-discovery.
After some much-needed R&R, I plan on heading back to LAC 13, already in progress. And to spice things up, I’d like to work on some short story ideas.
LAC 12 Release and an Update
Laura’s League, Lesbian Adventure Club: Book 12 is finished and will be released here Wednesday.
Blurb: Kate and Claudia have a weekend of couple-affirming activities planned for the crew. But three days prior, a life-changing event forces everyone to affirm something much bigger.
It feels great to have it off my desk. I was working on three books at the same time, and it feels as though a long time has passed since I finished anything. Now, though, I am only working on two. LAC 13 is still in the works, but I will be focusing on the fourth McCallister book. I have a quarter or a third to go.
