I just heard from my editor that my fourth book, The Italian's Bought Bride, has been officially accepted. This book was hard to write mainly because I wrote it twice--actually, I seem to be developing a habit of doing that! I managed to write the entire thing except for the big moment at the end--around 47,000 words--and then realised it really didn't work! Actually, I think I'd had that realisation earlier but had suppressed it because my word count was still progressing nicely. That was a mistake. So less than a week before deadline I tore it apart, taking out the *major* plot element and fortunately found it all went a great deal more smoothly! And now it's done. Big sighs of relief and happiness.I'm just starting to work on my next book, writing a chapter a chapter by outline and character biographies, which is generally how I start. Then last night I actually had a dream that was a scene of my book--actually, it was me writing/picturing that scene and it flowed so fabulously... as soon as I woke up, I went downstairs to scribble what I remembered, but it didn't seem quite as fabulous then. So I'm wondering if that's just because I didn't remember it correctly, or as can happen in dreams, it wasn't that fabulous to begin with...
