Diving headfirst back into characters you’re still waiting to see in
actual print (Ravenous says next week, folks. So next week it is. *fingers
crossed*) is troublingly hard to do.
I love Brevyn and Sam (the main characters in Writhe, Book One
of “Lion & Steed”). I adore working with them and their love story
practically writes itself.
But…
I don’t know really.
*yanks hair away from head and
twists painfully*
*realizes I’m looking really,
really crazy doing that and stops*
*pats hair back into place and
tries to explain*
Hooking back up with Sam and Brevyn before I’ve gotten any reader/sales
feedback on them is a little daunting.
While I’m quite aware that authors’ who write series of books do this
all the time (heck, I’ve done it before with my 5 book “Hellesgate” series), I’ve
put so much pressure on myself to make this series freaking phenomenal I find
myself hesitating to leap wholeheartedly into that second step without knowing
if step one was a stumble or a confident stride.
Faith.
I realize that’s what I’m needing here. I’ve just got to believe that I
did my very best with Writhe and by doing my very best with Book Two
success will be found if not financially then professionally.
Every book I write I feel as if I get better at the whole author-thing.
It’s almost like serving an
apprenticeship to the author I hope one day to be…
Yeah, a little schizophrenic, that.
*lol*
Anyhow, psychotic or not that’s what I’m feeling. Hopefully sharing it
will help one of us.
Until tonight…
