Ghosts

Living Well

Ideas are apoppin'. Sometimes I go for long periods of time without new ideas for a book. This week, two came to me, so I jotted them down.

Guess what? They've been calling to me, so I've been writing a little on each for the past few days. I know agents always caution to stick with one manuscript, but I have to go where my muse leads me.

I got that doing twenty things at once from my mother and to me, it seems a natural thing. I've always done a lot of things at once...not exactly at once. When I'm working on the one that's a ghost comes back to solve her own murder, I do put my total attention on that, and when I go to my old-love-returns story, I'm totally focused on that. By afternoon, I'm doing pr for my already published books, reading my email, doing book signings, etc.

It's how I've always worked and will continue. Otherwise, I get bored or stuck. This keeps me well-greased and interested in what I'm doing.

Hope you can say the same.

Keep reading and writing.

Best,

Carolyn
