Friday Morning from The Cottage of Blog

Journey's of a Romantic Suspense Writer

Good morning from The Cottage of Blog where the coffee's always fresh and breakfast this morning is Total raisin bran with walnuts and orange juice. A good healthy breakfast. I'm going to need to because come hell or high water I will finish this next scend.

The good news is I was finally able to let go of the kidnapping scene. We are now approaching the innermost cave. Literally. I love it when I line up exactly with my craft books. LOL In this next scene, I beleive I will have the black moment.
then there will be the ultimate reward where the h/h will find reason to reject the love reward and move into more dangerous waters. The Road Back. Which, of course will lead to the ultimate climax, a literal resurrection and the re-discovery of the (love) reward and return witht he elixir. Their love and their child. Whew.

That's on my plate today. Maybe this can all be chapterized *(most is) and the ms will be complete. Then on the my CP who will let me know that it needs plenty more revisions (oh the pain. Oh the agony)

I finished Frankenstein. A great updated version of an old tradition. What would happen is Frankenstein never died and was still alive 200 years later creating a new and totalitarian race of people? What would happen if the monster turned out to be the hero? (or one of them) Fun. Folks. When I head out to the story I'll pick up the second book in the series.

I read an old super romance by non other than (President RWA) Tara Taylor Quinn called "Father Unknown" a Harlequin Superromance from the nineties. I really enjoyed her writing.
i'm not even a superromance buff. One thing about being involved in the circles of writing is that I'm finding books on the shelves from people I've talke to. People I've worked with in workshops (Ms. Wayne, Ms. Hale)

It's kind of like meeting a famous opera singer who gives you a boost when you're a struggling young artist (thank you Mr. Pacido Domingo, Ms. Rita Shand, Ms. Herta Glaz) and others I can't begin to name. But that was two lifetimes ago. That was then, now is now.

But there is a coorelation between the stage and writing. They're two edges of the same coin. One side interpretes what the author/playwrite/ librettist writes, the other does the writing. I discovered that I haven't only been writing for 5 years or so. I've been writing vicariously through composers and librettists all my life.
Interesting huh?

I'm back into the winterizing mode. The virtual Cottage of Blog has moved back home.
As soon as I figure out why my files are so large I'll post something.
