Yon Shelving of the Book...

We were watching a wonderful, long documentary (which shall remain nameless) and we both had an idea for a book, and it was nearly the same idea. A finely spun plot just dawned on us, and characters came spilling out that our other decided-upon project was promptly shelved. I broke out the laptop and we stayed up 'til the wee hours of the morn with that first flood of writer inspiration. *sigh of contentment*

I have typed in a rather fanatic fashion and am amazed how easily this story is appearing on the pages; even more surprising is how much I like it and the direction it is going. Most surprising though, is when I break off to read a large section to the Editor, he likes it as well.

Chapter Three is nearly complete, which is pretty good time considering we began the project merely four days ago. The chapters are long, being replete with historical fact and descriptions. This is really my first foray into a historical romance and I am determined to make it as accurate as possible. The cultural inferences especially are complicated but fun to work through.

At this rate we'll have a new, lengthy novel up on the website inside of two months. Though I am partial to my first novel, Draw Me a Picture, I believe this one is an even better story and will exceed the first in popularity.

Here's a toast to inspiration and charming, steady editors.
