I’m kinda liking the story again

Yes, I wrote on my Blaze WIP today. Writing longhand in my little black Moleskine notebook. (Complete with a pink “Book Beads” bookmark with a pink skull and crossbones charm. Goth girlie. LOL) I’ll go back and type it later. The words seem to flow for me better this way. At least for the moment.

Kinda like the story again. Well…yeah, I do. It is still my Albatross though. I will be much happier once the first draft is done. Editing will probably be hellish, but right now, this first draft is fucking killing me. If my calculations are right, I will get the first draft done the first few days of December. Yay!

Here’s a sweet little (unedited) snippet of my Blaze WIP, Chasing the Shadows. I say sweet as it makes me smile. When I set up the scene, I expected it to lead into a sex scene, but then this flew from my fingers onto the page…and I think it is better. I know readers are going to collectively sigh at this part….and love Daniel (my hero) just a bit more.

Brooke moved to the bed, untied her robe and let it fall to the floor in a pink puddle. Naked, she pulled back the covers and climbed in between the sheets.

Surely she wouldn’t have to wait long for him to come to bed.

She sighed and let her body relax. Maybe if she closed her eyes for a few minutes, she’d be more awake for when he finally came to bed.

What seemed moments later, Brooke stirred against the warm skin pressed against her backside. Her eyes shot open and for a split second, she stiffened. Then he moved his hand upon her hip and his warm breath tickled her neck. Daniel. She relaxed and covered his hand with hers. He interlaced his fingers with hers and she closed her eyes. She gently pulled his arm around her waist, wanting to wrap him about her.

Then with a smile upon her face, she eased back to sleep. She may not have greeted him as she’d imagined, she was not entirely disappointed. This was where she wanted to be—close to him.

Oh man,  have to finish up that interview for that magazine in the next few days. It is due before Thanksgiving.
