I'm Back Into It!

It feels so amazing to be back in the writing groove that I just had to tell you about it!

In the last two months I've probably only cranked out about 10,000 words. If your not a writer, you should know that that's awful--actually, beyond awful. But I just hadn't been into it as you may have gathered from previous posts. Now, I've reverted to old tactics, but amplified them to the extreme.

When I wrote Secrets Inside Us, I wrote the second half first and then went back and wrote the beginning. When I started writing Secrets That Define Us, (By the way--I'm still not sure if that will be the official title) I wrote the first five chapters, then wrote the last nine, then wrote chapter six, then wrote some random chapter in the middle... well, you get it. But now I've gone to the complete extreme: I've begun writing Secrets Revealed without finishing its predecessor.

I wonder if other authors would slap me on the wrist, stick my head down a toilet or just grunt and say, "Shit happens"?

Anyways, Secrets Revealed is coming along nicely. What took me two months to write in the second book has taken me five days to write in this one. Before I was stuck in my writing rut, I would normally crank out anywhere between 1,000 and 3,500 words a day. I think 5,000 was my max. And now I'm back at it!

In fact, just talking about it is making me want to write the next scene. I have someone I need to kill...
