I finished the bulk of Rockets this morning. Now all I have left is the fun part, beefing up the sex scenes. I think I originally sent this to Harlequin Temptation, which is sexy but still limited in what you could say or do and the number of sex scenes per book. It was incredibly liberating to write Dangerous Games with nothing held back. Now I get to go back over the scenes in Rockets without pulling my punches and I’m looking forward to it.

Revisions are tiring, so I’m glad I saved the fun stuff for last. Writing new pages is energizing. I realized yesterday I really need to take a break when I’m done with Rockets and write something new. Maybe a few scenes of a work in progress, maybe something completely different, but my brain needs to stand up and stretch before I go back and revise that last ms. Which means I probably won’t get it out the door before the end of the year. If I do it without being all mentally refreshed and rested, it’s going to suffer.

Rockets is solid, though, and I’m happy about that. I am very pleased with it, and will be even more so when I’m done with the final stage.
