I’ve finally cornered it. I think it took having my brain yanked in so many directions lately that I’m cross-eyed to get my brain in gear to writing in a productive mode. It must be looking for a safe haven from RL. *g*
I’ve had several family issues play out dramatically lately with my MIL and my mother. It’s taken a huge piece of my time, energy and concentration. Add that to keeping things on target for my ad group, Manloveromance.com, and taking care of the day to day needs of MLR Press, my muse has had little time to come up for air.
Actually I think it was in hiding, waiting for me to come looking for it. And I have. But not consciously, I don’t think. It’s like I needed to be forced to the edge of coping for it to run out and grab me and drag me into a dark room to work. Someplace where writing my stories is the only sane thing around. If listening to voices in your head telling you ghost stories, creating alien worlds, and leaving a blind man to solve a mystery is considered sane. *lol*
Do other authors get pushed into a corner and have to be rescued by the writing part of their brain to keep their sanity?
PS: I forgot to announce that MEXICAN HEAT is an EPPIE Finalist! Sweet! I should also mention the cover has been changed. There were complaints about the reproduction quality in ads and for the commercial I’m having made so I finally reverted back to the first draft of the cover. It’s very bright and tropical!
