Love that comic by Dave Coverly. It tells how I'm feeling at this moment! Um, figuratively, that is.
My self-imposed internet restriction has gone smashingly well. I don't even need all the time I allotted myself. The trick has really been to avoid constantly checking my email inbox. Three times a day and I'm good! There's no way people can say that I don't get back quickly if I go online thrice daily, right?
Last night I finished writing an erotic novella tentatively titled "Chastity Belt". One of the main characters, Casey, gets involved in a menage with the couple in Chastity Belt. But Casey deserves her own HEA, so I'm thinking about presenting Chastity Belt as Book One in The Gentlemen's Club series, (the GC is the name of the exclusive BDSM-flavored club the book is set in) - and Book Two would star Casey as the heroine. Whaddya think?
Of course that means now I *really* want to get started on Casey's story. But I've also got this epic book roaming through my head that I think really needs to get out and get on paper...um, keyboard. In my head, this book is tentatively titled "Protecting Emily". And it's a *big* book. Longer than anything I've ever written. So I probably need to get some sort of outline going.
Part of me thinks - hey, outline Protecting Emily while you write Casey's as-of-yet untitled story! But I just don't think I can write two books at the same time. Can you?
I think you should.

Both ideas sound fascinating. While I generally stick to one book at a time, I usually am plotting a second one at the same time as I'm writing the main book. Once tried to do two at a time and lost my focus. Write the longer one and plan the second. If it takes over, then put long one aside for a bit.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea, Janet. It's silly but I'm almost scared to get started, lol!
