Last week I talked about the WXY…. the end part of the story that connected the story to the end of the book.

On the car ride up to Indy, inspiration struck and I finally found the ‘wxy’ for Through the Veil, my next story for Berkley.  You know the wxy…it’s what connects ‘Z’ to the rest of the story.  I knew the ‘Z’.  It was the WXY that kept giving me fits, figuring how to get to from where I was in the story to Z.  Now I’ve got the W done and working out the X & Y.  I have the basics of them but the details are still filling themselves in.

 

So needless to say, I’ll be hit and miss here for the next few days until X&Y decide to make themselves clearer.

 

Well, I finished the “WXY”.  The “Y” pretty much jumped me in the car yesterday.  Two hours in the car while on the way to and from my signing and I managed to get more done on that sucker than I would at home in one day.  I think if I did all my writing on the road, I’d be more productive.  Maybe I should just may the DH quit his job and drive me around all day.  Yeah, I see him going for that.

Since the WXY is all finished, now I have to do the “Z”.  The final scene in the book.  Possibly two scenes since there’s an idea dancing in my head.  Not sure.  Might try to ignore the idea. Since it’s a romance, it needs to include a love scene.   It’s always interesting to figure out a love scene when one of your main characters is incapiciated.  Say in a coma.  Or coming out of surgery.  Or trapped under some big huge space rock.

But nonetheless, that’s what lays in front of me. Once I get it done, I’ll try to do a quick read thru, but I suck at read thrus.  I always wanted to rewrite this, or that…or all of it.  Since deadline is a little over two weeks away, I don’t have time for any of that.  Hoping my advance readers will get thru quick…HINT HINT…and that way if something dire is wrong, I can hopefully fix it.

I’m going to be so glad to get Through the Veil off my fricking desk and off to the editor.  I’m tired of looking at it.  I’m tired of reading it.  And I’ve already thought of a story for one of the other characters, dang it.  This wasn’t supposed to become a series.  Don’t I already have enough book series going on?

Done writing for the day, though.  It’s Sunday.  I like to spend Sundays with my family.  Went to church, out to eat, wrote for about an hour…now I’m going to veg out.  Hey, if I take a nap with the baby bratlet, does that count as spending time with the family?  ;o)
