A Brain Cramp

Ugh!  It happens to everyone.  You get to a point where your brain just doesn’t want to cooperate with your heart, yearning for some beautiful prose to materialize on the page.  Usually when I come to a road block, I listen to music to help me visualize what I am trying to convey and voila I can get something down.  Granted, it might not be pretty, but it’s a start. 

Tonight, the music wasn’t helping much.  It’s awesome new tuneage that my sister just gave me.  To inspire me.  Thanks KW!!  It’s Celtic music and should totally get me in the groove.  But - I think I’m feeling a little burnt out on the editing.  I have a self imposed deadline to get more of the MS ready for my beta readers sooner rather than later and now I’m just over it already.  My brain is not coming up with the beautiful prose.  It’s probably because my subconscious has found a couple holes that need to be plugged and subconsciously knows the work I do now might be for naught.  Ugh!!!

I think I need a good night’s rest…  Night Night…

FORBIDDEN SECRETS is a young adult paranormal romance with a realistic core.  The story is set just outside Asheville, NC in the fictional town of Hawthorne Ridge, NC.  It's a contemporary story sprinkled with the magic of Celtic legend and the intrigue of Scottish history.  Think "Romeo and Juliet" meets "Highlander", with a secret around every corner.
