I’m presently working on two books right now.  I know I shouldn’t.  I need to finish AMTDF before starting BM, but it’s the time of year.  For the past two years, especially last year, October came along and the inspriation and desire to write something scary was prevalent.  This is the month we get nothing but movies and shows in time for Halloween, so it’s a great time for horror movies and things that go bump in the night.  So I’ve told myself to start a thriller during this time.  Unfortunately, I didn’t time things appropriately this year and October is here and AMTDF isn’t completed yet.

So, I want to start BM.  I agreed to join Fast Draft with the divas starting next Monday.  Two weeks of writing at least 10 pages a day.  What a great time to begin something new.  I’m thinking I can start BM and then when FD ends I can finish AMTDF.  I have to have that completed by Halloween.   It’ll be cutting it close, and I shouldn’t risk it, but I also don’t want to wait until next year.

Plus, I can’t get this new idea out of my head.  My heroine, Bailey, is 16 and the books starts off with her in the mental hospital.  She is screaming for me to let her go, so I feel I need to abide. ;)  Ok, so I simply like the idea of writing something scarish.  I have the next five days to plot it though, so wish me luck.  Actually, I started plotting this one a couple of months back, but then the main character was 32 and named Alexa.  I want to turn this into a YA for several reasons–one, being to give her less power, two, because of the voice and my natural ability to do casual well and three, because this idea had so much backstory, some of it taking place when she was a teen, it makes more sense to have it happen back then.

So, I’m off now to tackle the revised plot and characters.  Catch ya later!
