My Voice Is Talking To Me Again

I have been working on this idea for another series. I have at least the first and the second books planned out but some of the details are still worrying me.

I keep changing my mind on what kind of a character I want her to be. I am torn between a total badass and a complete smartass. LOL. Either way I have the ass part right. :D

It has been a long day. I would like to stay up and work on my story, right now I am reading up on nymphs, fairy's, and other magical creatures, but I have been working a lot and I desperately need some serious sleep. The kid has been putting me through my paces as well. But I just had to write a bit before I pass out and awake to the annoying sound of the alarm clock.

I have to admit Laurell K. Hamilton's new book "Danse Macabre" has also kept me up. You know, I always thought the only thing I would ever write about would be fantasy. You know, sword and sorcery stuff. And I never thought I would like a supernatural, action packed, love story but by God, as Anita would say "It just flat does it for me." And it does. I also discovered that I like to write in the first person more than in the third. It's easier and I feel more comfortable with it. Thank you Laurell for helping me with my voice. You are an excellent writer, with an incredible imagination.

A toast (please raise your glass/cup/can/whatever) to Laurell K. Hamilton. May she never run out of ink and may her imagination always have a job. Oh, and may the next Anita Blake novel come out ASAP. It only took me a couple days to finish it.

Well, good-night all.
