It's like smoking

So, the beginning went out with a large word: WORK - Now I'll try again. Like quitting smoking (thank God, I didn't have to deal with that), try, try again.
A new day a new start.

Getting it started

Yeah! Clapping my hands and doing a War dance.... I started my book and... man, it is work. It is sooooo much more fun dreaming around and creating the characters and scenes then actually sitting down and try to reign them in and put them on a blank page. *sniff* o.k. wined enough. Of course it has to end up in "work", if people pay for it...

I have the same experience when I paint. I loooove painting trees, but when I am in the middle I curse them and their gazillion leaves. Well, so far so good.

Something else, I found a new writer, that I utterly adore. If I could be just halfway as entertaining and good, I would carry a grin as wide as my temper is short. (hey, I am a red head) Her name is Ann Aguirre and the book's name is "Grimspace". I am halfway through it (had to be forcefully stopped) and it is such an exciting science fiction, I wanted to nibble on my toe nails and bite in the book.

Ready to be reborn

I found this blog via a screen writer whom I liked. So up goes my blog to ramble around and bitch about my new "wanna-be", "couldabe", "damn if it isn't" career. Yeah, I see you all are already impressed with my writing. Thank God for Editors!

Well so far my story/mutant baby is still zooming around in my brain. Every character yelling at me at the same time and wanting to change their personality, appearance and the story already. I just try to tell them to shut up, as I research my lingo (a lot of USMC stuff - Semper Fidelis forever) and ideas how to start. The characters I have already worked out (I said shut up - you will stay as you are for now).

I decided on my first book to be an action novel with a bit of romance in it. Oh, who am I kidding.... it is a full wammy romance novel. There, I said it. R O M A N C E N O V E L!!!! Anybody got a problem with it, talk to my friend .44 special or his brother Magnum.

I do not want to write anything corny or mushy. There will be fights, action, war, havoc, a very cool Marine Corps sister and a bunch of Chupacabras, mean Aliens, hunky Aliens and a very crazy German Aunt, who all drive the heroine (also a Marine) nuts. So far so good....

I hope you all join me through my torture or if you are masochists even help me with my new adventure. Tell me what you read or want to read! And be not shy!
