Today’s question:
Tell us about ideas you have floating around. World building snippets, or ideas for new stories. Just a few bullet points.
I have so many ideas! I have notebooks full of ideas to write. In fact, that’s how I keep track of them – I keep a daily journal (almost) and as ideas or tropes occur to me, I write them down. For each new idea, I affix a sticky strip (or Post-it strip) with a quick phrase about what it might be, then I set them aside.
For example, I signed up for a second chance romance anthology, which I love writing. I had the bones of a novella in my notebook (it’s set in Italy so it is very romantic!) so I pulled it out and, between projects, I plug away at it.
One thing I’ve learned very quickly in this endeavor is to have projects at different stages of the pipeline. I have two projects that area already drafted, two being edited currently, two proposals submitted and one project I’m trying to finalize (the one mentioned earlier). That way, I always have something ready to go when the opportunity presents itself.
Other projects at different stages of development
- Age-gap romance between an older woman cyclist and her trainer (f/f)
- Romance between the owner of a vacation home on the same lake as their permanent residence and the divorcee who rents their home (m/f)
- Romance between the owner of a beachside restaurant and the skipper of the fishing boat that provides fresh fish to all the restaurants on the waterfront (m/f)
- Historical romance set in Puerto Rico in the 1950s (series featuring multiple pairings)
- Four additional books in my category romance series (series featuring multiple pairings)
Hopefully I will publish all these stories one day!
