Passing the reins to the muse…
June 27th, 2008
Sorry I’ve been “slight” with my postings (okay, slight is an understatement, I know) but my writing muse has been insisting that I work until I’m bleary-eyed on my next big thing, so what’s a girl to do?
And what am I working on you ask? I’m penning a historical romance for Champagne Books titled Once Wayward. It is book five in Champagne’s Orphan Train series and is scheduled for release in September 2008. And, in true “Lee Ann fashion” (yes, I’m a masochist, what can I say), I’m also story boarding book three in my YA paranormal series, The Beholder. I’m a YA-aholic. Can’t wait to see what happens with this one! Good stuff.
Speaking of the masochist in me, now I pose a question to my peers (that’s you people). When you’re busily working on a project, do about a zillion totally fab book ideas seem to hit you all at once? Well, they do me–not that I’m complaining, mind you–but it’s just that I have to stop writing to hurry and jot down the new ideas, which always leads to more jotting and eventually I find myself chomping at the bit to start on my new gem. But of course, I have to finish what I’ve already started; that’s a big pet peeve of mine–never leave anything half-done. Must finish. So, all this rambling to again ask the question…do new book ideas flow when you’re slap dab in the middle of another project?
I’m ready to compare notes…
‘Til next time~

Of course they do! And you’re smart to write them down right there and then, otherwise you’re chances of remembering them are not great, or at least not all the details. At the very least, it’ll give you more options on what to do for your next project!

I agree, Scot! I’ve lost a few gems because I didn’t stop to write them down, so now I write down new ideas on the spot–even if that means stopping the car in the middle of the highway to do it. For real, I’ve done that a few times. Thanks for the input!
