Of the making of books there is no end...

I think I've reached Plot Quota. Three short stories and two novel-length WIP's are in frenzied competition for my attention. So last night, I screamed, Back OFF! I need some head space here! And they all retreated cautiously.

Except for Elisa. She just put her hands to voluminous hips and whispered, "You know you want to write me. You KNOW you do."

*sigh* Ok, fine. Elisa wants to play alpha female.

Like a good, submissive writergirl, I sat down at the keyboard... then all the Very Bad Habits took over and I began yet another transition chapter. Unacceptable. Elisa needs to face Scary Danger. She needs to look a complete fool in front of hubs. And she needs the opportunity to observe some key elements of Joya culture and tradition. But Rae wanted to describe the scenery. *throws up hands*

When the going gets THIS rough, it's time to break out the Secret Weapon. (insert Mission Impossible Theme song) So tonight, I'm calling the little sister--who is friggin' brilliant--to bounce some ideas around. (But, ssshhhhhh, don't tell! She's a sssecret, my precious.)

I've got to get this next chapter out. Otherwise, Elisa might sit on me.

You know I can't make a threat like Amanda's. You'd just pick me up and throw me out the window. :O

And you're gonna let her get away with that? You're gonna let her kick you around? You're gonna let HER call the shots?

(I don't blame you, just be careful!)

I know. *sigh* I'm a wimp. A real push-over.

Dude, I don't blame you for giving in to the threat of physical violence. I gave in to Mai when she threatened to injure me...

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Yes, Mai is scary, with all her angsty vengeance. *scared*

With all the talk about Elisa, I had to go have a look and see what the buzz was about. Wow Rae. That's all I can say. I want to know so much more about her, the Godstone, what she must do to serve God, what is going to happen in her marriage, how well does her sister know her new husband anyway, and the list goes on. Great job!!! Yes, please continue. I have to know more.
