05.24.2010 Asking For It, Be-Wished, Ellora's Cave, Once Upon A Kiss, Synopsis

Title Approval

Happy day. The new title of Joe and Livvy’s book, the third in the Be-Wished series, is officially ONCE UPON A KISS.

I am now working on the synopsis for the Big Boss, Raelene.

Sold!

My editor liked the revisions. We’re still hammering out the ending, but it looks like the third Be-Wished book is a go! WOOT!

P.S. Unfortunately, the title has to be scrapped. Asking For It is too close to Ask For It, a book EC has already published. So, I’m trying to think of a new title.

Done. Again.

I just turned in ASKING FOR IT for the second time. It was a massive rewrite since my editor requested that I remove an entire subplot. I hope that this newest version meets or even exceeds her expectations. I should hear back from her in four weeks. In the meantime, I want to try my hand at some confession stories.

Also, we’re getting a dog–an adorable tri-color Chihuahua–tomorrow. So there will be some adjustments to be made at the Willoughby household!

Stubborn Heroes

So, Joe was being difficult again. Recently, he refused to change professions. More lately, he’s resisting a personality makeover.

I was rewriting him to be a wounded hero both physically and mentally. In the scene where he and Livvy first meet, he was sullen, angry, and not quite reconciled with his disability. I really pushed that change through almost the entire book, but I can see now it’s just not him. He would not allow me to make him so self-absorbed, even with the excuse of being a paraplegic to fall back on. It’s easy to understand that that type of injury could take a very long time to adjust to, but Joe was determined to bounce back faster than I was making him. He would not, in short, be a jerk.

Writing is such an interesting and mentally unbalanced endeavor.

Also, isn’t this the most kick ass wheelchair you’ve ever seen?
