So, I went into a bookstore to day and spent 80 dollars that I probably shouldn't, but I got an idea for a paranormal romance the other day and I want to start the research for it. One of the books is the National Georgraphic Travel Guidebook to Ireland. $30!! But that's okay. Won't it be nice to write off a trip to Ireland as "research" on my taxes?
I don't usually like paranormal, and I am still anti-vampire (and in this day and age, I feel like a bigot admitting that). I will admit that Stephanie Meyers's vampires are okay. I appreciate the mythology she set up: 1. The Cullens don't want to suck human blood. 2. They don't want to create other vampires, but only do it in extreme circumstances. (And if you don't know what I'm talking about, then go read the TWILIGHT series, you dufus.)
(Although I finally became okay with Bella becoming a vampire, I'm TEAM JACOB all the way. Shapeshifters, I'm fine with those.)
So wish me luck on this particular new endeavor, which I am starting despite the fact that I am still working on the last two....
And teaching five classes.

Once more into the brink...
The new creative project is developing, though more slowly than I would like.
Well, that's such a cop-out line, isn't it?
I have total control over the new project. It's one of the reasons I've chosen to be a writer...no collaboration necessary, unless I request it. Especially these days, in the days of self-publishing.
I majored in theater in college, then worked in the film and television industry for fifteen years or so... Those art forms require so much collaboration (unless you are doing a one woman show, but even then, a performer can't be her own audience member).
But back to the new project--I have interviewed two very inspirational people as the basis of the first endeavor, and will soon be putting together a--- well, I don't really want to let the cat out of the bag. (Yes, this is a teaser...)
But it is a lot of fun to work on!

Wish me luck!
I have come up with a creative idea that I am very excited about. Please wish me luck in carrying it through.
Don't worry, I won't keep you in the dark forever, but this idea is in such a new stage that it's not ready to be talked about. You know how it is: women who are pregnant don't tell people about the baby until several months into the pregnancy. NO! I am not pregnant. This is just a metaphor. You know how it is...when you get a creative idea, it has to grow and develop a little before it can survive out in the big, bad world.
