New story idea -- yes, another one!
As we prepare in case we catch a piece of Hurricane Rita, I had an idea for a new story.
A hurricane is heading for the (fictional) city of
It's rough, but I might work on it and see how it goes. I found a writing workshop late last night. It's called "Fast Draft Workshop" and is over at Romance Divas (RD). The idea is to just start typing and commit to writing twenty pages a day for two weeks. Some of the folks in the workshop isn't quite getting twenty pages, but they are happy with what that can do. Whether it's four pages, ten pages, twenty pages, or even better, more than twenty pages a day. The main point is to write. The rules are to not go back and read what you wrote the day before and to turn off that internal editor in your head. Then after the two weeks is over, that's when you go back and read, rewrite, edit, etc.
We'll see how I do. I'll have a problem turning off that editor that lives in my head. I'll try to update this blog as I work. Wish me luck. (LOL)

Amy,
That's a great idea! All that tension from the storm and worries about worst case... and what if they get trapped! How long can everyone go before the big guys eat the poor little humans...

(LOL) Thanks, Shannon. One never knows what could happen in a storm. I've been through several hurricanes as well as tropical storms. Each is different.
Now to start writing it and see what happens. (G)
Oh, and yes, everyone needs to eat, don't they? (wink)
Amy,
Haven't seen hide nor hair of ya all day. I hope that means you are writing tons and too busy to chat with poor schloops like myself.
I certainly hope that your silence doen't have anythign to do with that pesky Rita. I've told Rath he need to help out a little here and tame that windy woman but he seems to be busy with wooing Destiny (which he's not even doing all that well.) Men are so unreliable.
(hugs)
