New Challenge for Myself |
A YA chicklity mystery series has been brewing in my head ever since last year and I think I'm finally going to take the plunge and write it. But first, I have to do lots and lots of research. I plan for these series of books to have witch's, fairies, vampire's, mermaids, nymphys and all kinds of wonderful creatures in them. Which means, I can't just write it by the set of my pants, which is what I usually do with my erotic romances.Now don't get me wrong, I do actually have a plot in mind when I begin to write and I know my hero/heroine's issues and the journey they have to take to find love, but I don't outline or plot it all out. But I realize that I must do this for my YA series.How did this all come about you ask? Well, I'm taking a class with Romance Diva's entitled Writing The Mystery being taught by Michele Scott and it inspired me to start. So, I'm going to take my time, flesh out my characters, plot and outline and do character sketches and all that jazzy stuff and see what I come up with. Wish me luck!No word on the short story I submitted to Cobblestone last Sunday. I know Sable and Deanne are super busy so I'm trying to be patient, which is hard for me. But as soon as I hear yay or na, I'll post it here.Cheers! Lyric |

I'll bet Sable & Deanna must be up to their noses with submissions for the Octoberfest. *lol* Don't sweat it, though. I'm sure they'll get back to you soon. *g*
As for a YA mystery series, girl, sounds good. I've been trying to follow the workshop at Romance Divas, but I'm so behind my own writing that I've been unable to log in and read the posts. *sighs*
