one lot to go. (well, at least until my editor gets her hands on it, anyway!) I’ve added all those little bits and pieces to Riley 7 that I had to add, and fixed up all the grammar and spelling errors I could find. Now I just have to print the thing out and do a read through–this usually finds a lot of the stuff I missed in the first read through. When that’s done, I can send the book to my editor and get back to writing the next book due. Which is Mercy Burns, the follow-up to Destiny Kills. I have a head start on this one, as I’ve already done 90 pages of it. Yesterday I actually sat down and attempted plotting the thing, but I couldn’t really get into it. I think I’ll need to write a bit more, get to know the characters again, before any attempt at plotting will be successful. Of course, the muse also wants to write the ‘reward’ book and is throwing lots of ideas my way, so I might have to write both for a while, just to prevent muse mutiny.

I like that muse mutiny very nice way of saying muse won’t cooperate and may leave me high and dry. Simply giddy about Riley 7 would fly if I oculd. Yeah hooray.

I love the names for your books, how do you think up your great titles?

I sympathize with you.
It\’s so hard to write one story when others are tossing ideas at you. And plotting when you haven\’t gotten too far into writing…difficult. I devoured the first four Riley books over Thanksgiving and book five soon after. I was so sure you were a plotter with all your intricacy and how you jump into scenes, do what you need and jump out. No fat. You are impressive.

Robyn–I’m going to be taking the reward book with me to the US. I got a feeling the muse will be wanting it
Janice–I toss lots of names around on paper, and ask for help from my wonderful crit group, the lulus (of which robyn in one)
Jamie–I haven’t plotted until recently, but I did tend to note all the different threads down on paper (both the per book ones and the series ones) so that I didn’t forget them!
