My medieval "Heartsong" is about to begin edits.
I love that tale,throughly enjoyed writing that book.
So what's the problem, you ask? Well, I'm supposed
to be editing another book for submission, I have
the gothic started (chapter five is nearly finished),
I have a contemporary in progress.
Okay, that's not impossible.
Oh, yes it is. Because, now, I have some of the
characters who first appear in the medieval
screaming at me. They want their story told.
I have to finished the edits, or that book will never
see the light of day. The gothic is just welting away,
the heroine, I believe, is furious with me, and of course
the contemporary is definitely now on the back burner.
But what do I do about the medieval characters?
No! I'm not crazy. This is what happens to undisciplined
romance writers. The stories just won't go away.
or suffer a real melt down. I suppose I could outline
the medieval and set it aside. Or go back to the Gothic,
but there are the edits.........
Oh, a writer's life!
Allison, still faced with a problem.

I HEAR YOU!!!!
Been there. Am there. Bought property overlooking the lake there.
You are not alone. I've had characters screaming at me for a long time too. That's why I started letting them out on a fiction blog dedicated to their story. It's sketchy and a weak draft, but it lets them stretch their legs.
Anyway... Just found your blog. Thought I'd say 'hi' to a fellow wordsmythe.
