There are so many things going on in my life right now and I have let myself get distracted from the one thing that truly relaxes me. Part of that is due to my continual head butting with the characters of my paranormal story. I managed to rope a nice 15k into the story, but have once again reached a stalemate with my hero and heroine. It was suggested to me, that there may be a slight issue of fighting my voice. That perhaps if I wrote what came to me rather than what I desired to write, I wouldn’t continue to have this problem.

Time and time again, I have divulged my desire to write paranormal. My story ideas seem to be limitless, but my biggest project to date has given me grief for more than a year now. Contemporary romance was not the genre I had envisioned writing, yet it is what I wrote and sold. Now with my frustration mounting and my desire to just write continue to plague me, I find myself looking back at a Buckling Down spin off story I had planned.  Justin Trent will get his story and it may be just the outlet I need at this point. I am tired of trying to wrestle my characters into submission. Hopefully, this will renew my muse.

And to my loyal support group who has helped push me along this far and is anxiously awaiting and routing for the paranormal, I do apologize. However, in order to do my hero and heroine justice, I need to step away from it for a bit.

Sláinte!
