Summer time is packed for me. It's full of family, of fun, of vacation. What it's not full of is writing. I don't write that much in the summer, it's just a reality. However, there is a book that is pulling me in and throwing me around, yet I just don't have time to write. This is extremely hard for me because I'm a better person when I write, but I don't have the time with my family during the year that I do now. So, I type ideas out on my phone, I record scenes in my phone recorder app. All this has to get me through the next few months.
Fall is my all in writing, I usually write every day. I write every weekend in the fall, which is why I always publish in the spring and then nothing.
I'm about to send Quiet Lies to betas. This is my first draft and it won't be ready for a good bit. This is a book I have to put away and come back to. This is a book that is soul crushing in a way. The way I've had to write it though is super frustrating because I want to immerse myself in the characters, but I haven't had time. Maybe in the second draft I'll cocoon myself around this woman and dig in. It may never be published, but at least I'm letting betas read to tell me if it's worth working on.
I've been working on Laura's book on and off too. This book will probably be published before Quiet Lies and it'll be very different than Sunshine & Whiskey, but still funny because it's Laura and Megan. I've even thought of a third spin off for the series and I'm very excited about the idea. I always have about four different stories in my head at one time.
I hope the voices never stop. Happy Summer peeps!
