I'm Not Really Missing...
I have an excuse. Really. I've been writing! After weeks of fighting to get into my witch hunter series, suddenly it's starting to work. It's very early in the book yet, and I'll hit a few more walls, but for now it's a huge relief to feel like it's going okay. As long as I don't think about it too much.
By the way, my iPod is great at helping to turn off my Internal Editor and just write. I'll need my Internal Editor later, but right now, she needs to SHUT UP.
So...now for my problem. I have a donut craving. I rarely crave donuts. But the last two mornings, I have been tempted to get in my car and go buy a donut. A chocolate buttermilk donut. Usually what I crave is pure chocolate. So why this donut obsession all of a sudden? I really, really need that donut!
Onto books, I read a new-to-me author, Jeaniene Frost's HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE, A Night Huntress Novel. Yes, it's a Vamp book, but so different! Really cool. I really enjoyed this book.
I also read Kresley Cole's WICKED DEEDS ON A WINTERS NIGHT. Loved it! Very sexy and fun.
I'm getting over my Scrooge Attitude and starting to enjoy the holidays. Espeically since my characters are chatting away in my head, talking to me all the time about what they think should happen in the book, I feel like I can leave them for a little bit to shop and bake.
So tell me what's up with you all? Got your Christmas shopping done? Read any good books? Do you think my donut craving is just plain weird? What kind of donuts do you like?

I'm glad you're not fighting the story as much anymore! That's got to be a huge relief. Music helps me focus when I write, too. But it has to be songs without lyrics...otherwise I'm too easily distracted.
I'm going to have to try Halfway to the Grave and Wicked Deeds on a Winters Night. They sound interesting! Thanks. :-)
I'm surprised I can listen to music with words--if I'm in the zone. I never used to be able to do that.
I'm happy I'm making progess but you know, I always want MORE!
I use to be able to write to music. then I wrote a piece about inspirational music, and now I can't write to music. Bummer, because you know me, I love music, I love to write.
I had a huge Christmas attack right before Thanksgiving (I was putting new Christmas music into the system in preparation for our holiday music start on November 23rd) Now it kind of comes and goes. This weekend we will put up the outdoor decorations - that will help.
Buttermilk bars and apple fritters.
Cele I haven't had an apple fritter in years! Now you've made me think about apple fritters :-)
Too funny about you "huge Christmas attack" WHy does it feel like it comes on in a mood then leaves these days? When my kids were small, it felt different, I guess because they were so excited.
Cele is your piece about inspirational music on the Internet anywhere?
No I don't think it is, I wrote it several years ago at the start of Natalie's list in reply to another post.
