I’m heavy into For the Love of Hades first round edits. The good news, I still love Hades and Persephone’s story. The bad news, my muse us being decidedly quiet.
I know edits are edits, we’re not talking about tons of rewrites. But there are places where my wonderful, fantastic, genius editor has tagged a word or passage without leaving a comment. This is her way of telling me something doesn’t jive, while still giving me the creative freedom to fix it. And, if I haven’t mentioned it before I shall mention it now, I LOVE my editor for her faith in and understanding of my writing. She gets my stories, my prose, my vibe – whatever. Bottom line, I truly adore her.
When my Muse is behaving and full of things to say, this is fun. I get to jump back into the character’s heads, revisit, tweak, and explore. Right now, not so much. I suspect my Muse has taken an emergency vacation – to recharge my inner writing mojo.
Here’s where I think she’s gone:
with a book, a latte, and no worries…
I know this isn’t a problem for writer’s only. When you need a break, a mental health day/weekend/week, escape and/or ‘me time’ what do you do and where do you go?
I’d like to announce that Monday the 16th I will be hosting the wonderful Kate Evangelista’s Taste book trailer reveal. AND I will be sharing the cover for Medusa, A Love Story. So you could say Monday will be a very BIG day on the ol’ blog. Hope you’ll plan on dropping by!!!

There’s this place at my local mall that gives great reflexology treatments, so I usually go there. Or I get a facial. I can be a bit hedonistic, so I love treating myself to something “Spa-like” to replenish myself. I also live near the woods, so sometimes I go to the woods or the beach and get a walk. That helps too.
Looking forward to reading your book when it’s done!
I hate when that happens..I’ve been dealing with that myself the last two weeks..It is a huge pain…
