Larissa sold to Red Sage. Run over and congratulate her if you haven’t already!
I’m working on Miss Lonely Hearts, one eyeball on the deadline. I’m writing a list of all the things I love about the story because I’ve been finding it hard going. Here’s a secret, the muse does not care that you have a contract or a deadline. It takes something more to get that flighty creature to show up for work. The list is my lure.
Why I love this story: I love the setting. It’s pure magic. I love the characters and the way everybody has a secret and an agenda. I love the romance. I love the crime angle. I love the smokin’ hot sex. I love the humor.
Now, come on, muse, let’s get to work. Or Cass is going to hit me with another rolled up comic book.
Edited to add: I thought I shoud explain this a little further or it could look on the surface like writers are Artistes who just sit around waiting for the muse to light on their shoulders. I’m more of the “hunt it down with a club” philosophy. I don’t believe in sitting around waiting for inspiration, but I do know from experience that it’s possible to lure and tempt the muse into showing up for work and that the work will go 20 times faster and better for the effort. Maybe more than 20 times. But you don’t lure the muse by sitting there idling.
