I’m pleased! It’ll be nice to have a novella to sell! I *think* I’m heading towards the end, though I have no idea how it’s gonna come together. Guess that’s the exciting part!
Ugghghghg then I gotta do the cover ughghghghgh it’s not a ROMANCE romance or even a rom-com but it’s not a cozy mystery but it’s clean and fun like one… A magical comic love story, is what I call it.

That sound you hear is my face cracking because I’M GRINNING SO HARD
In other news…*squints at 41 printed pages of Armello fanfic* When did this get so long?! Probably time to re-read it soon.
I wrote some today on Horror and Frenchies and suddenly my motivation’s run out. Literally nothing sounds good to do (except maybe play DROPSY, but I don’t want to continue on without my friend over so.)
Well, playing DEAD SECRET sounds good but the last time I played it it got my heart going and I’m already kinda hyped by the SCVK cover preview. X33 I don’t know if my heart could take it.
TACOS TONIGHT!!
I’ve been struggling with my Fashion Frenchies story; I know it’s supposed to be a comedic love story, but I’m lost in Butcher’s Great Swampy Middle(TM) and don’t quite know how to pull myself out. Doesn’t help that I’m writing out of my genre (comedy? love? wut?).
So for the past few days, I’ve been thinking around the story. It’s a nebulous, gentle sort of thinking that will allow me to stumble upon an idea that will propel the story forward and set my wordcount on fire.
So what shows up today when I’m writing in between piano lessons?
SOME RANDOM SCENE WITH MY SCVK CHARACTERS IN THEIR POST-SCVK-NOVEL LIVES
I wound up writing 800 words in 47 minutes. The words were flying out!!
Dear Creative Impulse: Can I please get that kind of speed with either (A) the vampire prequel novel or (B) this Fashion Frenchies short story that was supposed to be done before Valentine’s?!??
PS – I don’t want to write a direct sequel to SCVK–it’s gonna end up like Tales from Watership Down, I know it, and I DON’T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. *grumbles* but if that’s what shows up…
(At least the scene is a riot.)
But more importantly, I just discovered that the Richard Simmons remix of Car Wash is far, far better than it has any right to be.
That’s like… Car Wash meets Vogue, everyone!
Actually, the music production values of Richard Simmons’ workouts have always been top notch. I’d buy a CD of Party Off the Pounds’ tracks. And I wish the version of Rebel in the first Sweatin’ to the Oldies was a buyable track off Amazon, for reals.
In other workout news, yesterday’s Tonin’ Uptown and Tonin’ Downtown was a fever-dream of a workout! You’ll just have to do it.
