TJ Wilde Trilogy · Duxbridge Mysteries · Jennifer McCaffrey Mysteries
My garden is doing okay this summer, but not spectacular. So, while I have a counter full of tomatoes, not really enough to worry about freezing this year. But I still need to them up. So I made two tomato-heavy recipes this weekend. Salsa and salad.
I had one lone cucumber in the garden this week, so of course it was time for a summer staple.
How is it Friday already? The week was crazy busy,
To be as relaxed as this dude
Continuing the discussion on the rewrites for Full Sail and what is working and what is most definitely not.
By the time I was editing chapters twelve and thirteen, I knew I had to stop and regroup. The entire feel of the book was off. And most importantly, I had lost TJ’s voice around chapter five.
TJ’s voice is complex and filled with self-deprecation, humor, self-doubt and defiance. Sharp edges and deep emotions. And somehow, I had flattened out all her fun curves.
The only way I knew to find her again was to go back to the beginning. And the beginning was Run Aground. I queued up the audiobook and began to rediscover my muse.
When I can manage to write again, I think she is back strong, in all her depth and complexity. I suspect, as I return to the process, she’ll bring me comfort as we complete our journey together.
Just one of those songs that stays with you….
Going to try to get back to some regular writing here. Still not feeling it, but I’m going to jump in.
It may seem counterintuitive, during peak harvest season, to write about frozen fruits and vegetables, but when talking about making quick meals, it’s always a good time.
