Total Recall

 I look forward to seeing this one. I hope they haven't messed it up too much, though...fingers crossed.

Interview

I just gave an interview /conversation with Journalist Janie Mallet for Radio-Canada Acadie.  It was really fun! The interview is going to air tomorrow morning. Oh by the way, it’s in French. =)

Going strong

Things are going well with this book. I’ve added several interesting plot points to the story giving it a unique flavor, and the characters are developing rather well, some better than I planned. As it stands, I have about two thirds of the first draft penned down. =) One thing though, I’ve been calling it a paranormal fantasy, but now I think it’s more a contemporary one. There is romance in it, but that’s not what’s driving the story or the characters. Then again, the book is not finished, and the romance is intensifying as the story progresses. Oh well, I’ll figure it out when it’s done.

Dieting sucks!

I have been struggling with my weight recently (Yep, I’ve gotten chubby, and I don’t like it!) and decided it was time to put myself on a diet.
It’s the same diet I’ve said I was starting last week…you know, the one I was supposed to be on last month. Actually, it’s the New Year diet. :-/


Now how am I going to write love scenes if I’m chocolate depraved? Dieting sucks!

Halfway there

Since I’ve reworked the storyline of my paranormal fantasy, this novel has been progressing at a good clip. As a result, I just reached the halfway point, the middle of the book. Woo hoo! Well, it’s an approximate middle because I never really know how many pages a story will run until I finish it. Feels right though. The chemistry between the characters is growing, and the tension in the plot is increasing. Love it! I have a lot of cool scenes coming, and I can’t wait to write them. As you can tell, right now I’m in the midst of first draft euphoria. I best enjoy it now because once revision starts the fun’s over…well, not totally but pretty much.

On a different note, yesterday was my birthday, so for lunch I had two of my favorite foods, lobster and blood pudding. I know. I’m weird. =)

U-turn

Okay, scratch what I wrote in the previous post. I’m not doing revisions for BH anymore. I tried working on it, but my mind kept wandering back to my unfinished paranormal fantasy. I can stop thinking about plot twists and new scenes for that book. So I’m just gonna write the darn thing! Ahhh, I feel better now. :-)

Revisions

A couple days ago, my agent sent me a list of revisions to be made to my urban fantasy, BH. The list is not overly extensive. Most of it has to do with the characters; they need to be fleshed out more. The dialogue needs some tweaking too. There are also small changes to be brought to the storyline. Nothing big thought. The plot is the strong point of the manuscript. So, after some reflection, I decided to put the paranormal fantasy I’ve been working on aside and do the revisions first.
