Status Update - September 2011

I have forced my muse into focusing on two stories.  Unfortunately, she doesn't want to focus on the story I am writing on.  I get ideas for one while writing on the other.

The first is an erotic paranormal horror short story.  It is the first of two in the series.  This story has been easier for me to see in my head if not write.  Sex scenes have never been may favorite thing to write and there are several in this story. 

The second is a fantasy with romantic elements.  This was a very short story I am trying to expand.  That means adding in scenes that I didn't imagine with the initial idea.  These are the ones that connect my herione from place A to Place B.  Because I didn't see them at first, they are being difficult. Particularly the dialogue.  I'm slugging through but it is going slower than I would like.

I've joined two critique groups, so I hope this will keep me writing so that I will end up with stories fit for my readers to enjoy. There are more in other stages of development:  my fae world series and a contemporary paranormal world series.  But I need to focus on no more than two stories at a time. 

I appreciate you following me through this drought but I want you to know that I am working toward producing stories for you to read.

Good luck with your critique groups! I think it will really keep you going. :)

You're right about Black Swan. I watched it for free. It is hard to go to the movies and see a downer.
