I’m sure you’ve had one of those days when you really should be… insert the appropriate ending here…instead of idling at the keyboard.

I really should be editing, but I doubt that’s gonna happen tonight. I got my fair share of word juggling done earlier this evening and thought I’d do some more when I got home.  But ‘herself’ refuses to cooperate.  My batteries need re-charging, I think.

Sooo, I’ve answered email and checked out Facebook, plus the other places where I’m supposed to be networking.  I’d be lying if I said I did anything useful though.  Think I’m just tired.

Nonetheless, I’m turning over ideas for the next scene of the novel-in-progress. My heroine was kidnapped, and at chapter’s end, had a gun pointed at her. Now for the life of me, I haven’t figured out what the hero is doing in the following chapter, other than wondering why she disappeared.  Meantime, I’m visualizing how my seductress manages to escape in her follow-up chapter.

I’m one of those writers who almost never writes out of sequence — well, except for love scenes — but anyway, if I get bored waiting for the hero’s material to shake loose, I might just get on with writing the escape chapter next.

I read Corra’s blog today, which reminded me that I have a character blog I’ve been ignoring.  Gotta get on that too, because I have some story material percolating in the background. She suggested I link to it from my blog page. Excellent idea.  Then, I’d remember sometimes that the thing exists.

But for now I have to concentrate on the edits for Contraband. After that, I’m free to swan off in any direction I like…or so I think.

More anon…
