Here are three books I’d like to write:

– a free verse novel
– a paranormal
– a story involving a prince and/or a princess

I’m glad the muse is slowly waking up. It is best not to force her. And in the meantime, I’m having fun planning and plotting. My composition notebook goes just about everywhere I do. There is SO MUCH out there to pluck from, and so much that sparks something in me, something I KNOW can be used sometime.

Writing. I do love it.

I’ve been going crazy, working on my two WIPs and really getting nowhere. I just can’t get the stories to gel the way I want, yet.

Therefore, I’m putting all writing on the back burner. Until October.

BUT I’m not going to stop myself if something hits me before then. But until October, all pressure is off. My agent has two books now, so I think it’s okay for me to rest a bit. Right?

I think I WILL work on character sketches and things like that to keep me in shape, but I won’t stress about writing a freakin’ novel. And I’ll always be updating my journal, my private journal, and my written journal. I’ll be writing. Just not working. I think the break will be good.

October is a magic writing month for me. So there is no need to try to force it now.

I saw that Sarah Dessen () did this, and since I LOVE her, I want to do it too. YAY.

1. One book that changed your life. I have to say Dark Angel by V.C. Andrews. I read that book, and the characters got under my skin so much. I just had to write that way.

2. One book you’ve read more than once. Just one? All right. Let me think. How about Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews.

3. One book you would want on a desert island. This meme is torturous. I guess it’d be Dark Angel.

4. One book that made you laugh. The entire Georgia Nicholson series has me in stitches.

5. One book that made you cry. Dreamland by Sarah Dessen. I cried and cried when I read it.

6. One book you wish had been written. Anything by Sarah Dessen. The woman is brilliant.

7. One book you wish had never been written. ….

8. One book you are currently reading. I’m reading Feed by M.T. Anderson.

9. One book you have been meaning to read. White Teeth by Zadie Smith. Someday, my friends. Someday.

10. Tag five people. Nah.
