As much as I love NFL football, there comes a point when even I will get bored with a game. Like when the Tennessee Titans are up 27-0 over the Kansas City Chiefs with only a few minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
But did CBS switch me over to a more competitive game? Did they? Of course not. Sigh. :rolleyes:
I forgot to mention there’s going to be a meet-the-authors dinner on Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. at Golden Corral on North Eastman Road in Kingsport, Tenn. There are some speakers lined up, and the cost of the dinner is $20. There will also be time for book sales and signings after the speakers. This is a preliminary event to the annual Women’s Expo at the Meadowview Convention Center in Kingsport on Oct. 18. For more info on the dinner or to sign up, call Sharon Robinson at (423) 676-5564 or Lydia Wiley at (423) 782-6356.
Should be a good time. 😎
To bid on signed Bigtime books and other items that are being sold as part of the second annual Girl-Wonder.org auction. The auction ends today, so check it out! 
That I’ll be signing books on Oct. 18 (this Saturday) during the annual Women’s Expo at the Meadowview Convention Center in Kingsport, Tenn.
The event starts at 10 a.m. I should be there for most of the day (although I will be taking a lunch break at some point). Other authors scheduled to attend include Julia Quinn, Teresa Medeiros, and Lora Leigh. Should be a good time.
Also, I’ll be signing books on Nov. 1 at Mountain Empire Comics in Bristol, Tenn. Not sure about the time yet (got to figure out my work schedule first). More details to come.
Hope to see you there! 😎
So I did some work on Assassin 3 this weekend. I didn’t get a lot of writing done, mainly because I got stuck — and basically rewrote the same three chapters three different times. Sigh.
I usually don’t do that. I just go on my merry way, keep writing, and make a note to fix it later. But this time, I felt like I couldn’t go on without fixing the scenes — right then and there. I needed to know what I was doing with the story at that point so the rest of it would flow smoothly. I was stuck, in other words.
So how did I change it? Well, first I had Gin (the assassin) eating dinner in a restaurant while she’s waiting for a guy at another table to go the bathroom so she can kill him in there. Boring, I thought. I needed a better setting than that. So I changed the restaurant to a riverboat casino. Much more unique and interesting, and much more in keeping with the Southern flavor of the series.
Which, in turn, meant I had to change who Gin was eating with from her love interest to Finnegan Lane (Gin’s best friend/handler). Only since they were on a riverboat now, they weren’t even eating dinner. I’ll stop here to keep the confusion to a minimum. But the changes went on from there.
But now, I feel like I’ve finally gotten a handle on things and can write the rest of the story. At least until I get stuck again. :rolleyes:
What about you guys? What do you do when you get stuck on something or at work? Do you plow on through or spend time fixing it until it’s just right?
