Writers, have you ever sat down with you computer, or pen and paper, and tried to write but you just couldn't. You literally couldn't do it. No matter what books you opened, what writing prompts you read, or what music you listened to you still couldn't write.
I am having the problem today.
It's like I've hit a writers block, but the thing is I know what will happen next in my books. It's not a real writer's block. In Tick Tock I want to make a confrontation between Claudia and Horatio. In Icy Silence I want to write Alice sending Malcom a letter that will make for another plot twist in the story. In Symphony's Crescendo I'll write how Cadence deals with Echo's flashbacks. in Light of Dawn... okay I'm actually stuck in that one. Not sure how to deal with the long boat ride.... In Borrowed Time Jasper will be working on the ship. In Western Winds Antoinette will be adjusting to her recent marriage to Lewis. Then there's Invisible. I don't even know where to start in that book. Unlike my other works it has more characters who's point of views I'll be exploring.
All that and for whatever reason my fingers won't hit the keyboard, my mind won't create the sentences. Do you have any idea how long it took me to start writing this blog post? I feel drained of creativity and imagination.
Okay, enough with the complaining. It's time for me to stop sitting on the pity pot. *sighs* I complain way to much on here.
Looking to the bright side.... I wrote my first good scene with FBI agents. I tried many times and failed until this month I opened up a blank document and ta-da! :D I haven't named the book yet because if I do that it will be added to my list of serious projects. It's sort of just my free writing story for now. The two agents are Gabriel David and Sybil Romanov who work for a secret, international agency that I have yet to name.
At the start of the book they're called to the crime scene of a murder victim. It's easy to identify her as Linette Ache and the cause of death is determined as multiple stab wounds to her chest and abdomen. At first it appears that the only questions they need to answer are who did it and where are they now? Via security cameras they discover that it appears to be a young girl no older than twelve who might be the culprit. It's a disturbing, violent crime that Sybil has difficulty blaming the child for. How could a girl commit a crime as ugly as that? Following a lead to England they discover it may be a lot more complicated than that.
After that it gets to complicated for me to explain without just handing you the answers on a silver platter. Because some of the characters and their backstories preexisted before the book. The child is Emily, daughter to a well appraised assassin, and yes, she killed Linette. For one undecided reason or another it was self defense. The explanation I will most likely end up going with is that Cara, another preexisting villain, poisoned Linette with an undetectable drug that drove her so crazy she attacked Emily.
Cara will no doubt be in Risking Love, which most of you have heard about. For those of you who haven't it's a book Ginny and I plan to co-write. We already have a lot of the characters formed, it's just a matter of choosing which one is the main character and when we should start writing. Cara Montoya, though... *smiles to self* I love her character. She is a villain, which you've surely guessed from her poisoning Linette, but later on in her story she has a change of heart. Well, more like her eyes were opened and she now has a lot of regrets. Still, she is the best villain I have ever created. She will probably frequently appear in Risking Love, she'll have a bigger role in my untitled work I was just talking about, and she was mentioned in Ginny's series, The Colors of Murder trilogy.
You know what, maybe my next character bio will be on Cara. I don't know, I might not publish it if it ends up too dark or violent. She had a pretty rough past. And future... and present....
So this post turned out a lot longer than I expected. Hopefully my next post will be a well written character bio. I will try to post one more time before school starts. Monday is my first day of college so please pray for me. Being a homeschool girl this will be a very new experience for me. I have no idea what college will do to my social media and blogging time so just consider that a heads up. It might take me awhile to post, but I guess that's nothing new.
Thank you for your time. :) God bless you and have a fantastic day! :D
