In a recent post from Writer's Digest, they talked about not limiting yourself to just one story and how many authors hit it big with their second and third novels. I plan to have more than one baby, that is, I plan to write more novels after I complete my first. These are a couple that I've been dreaming up:
Contemporary Suspense - A young homicide detective with strong instincts is assigned a high profile case. Contains paranormal activity.
Paranormal Contemporary - This is a Twilight-inspired tale that I tentatively titled Nightfall. It begins with the heroine crashing a funeral. (No, I did not get the idea from Wedding Crashers.)
With working in the library recently, I had a girl ask for help finding a book for Accelerated Reader. She said she wasn't allowed to read anything with magic in it. This surprised me. It's good that parents monitor what their children are reading, but to limit them that much. I kept thinking, "No Harry Potter? No Lord of the Rings?" I couldn't imagine my parents putting limitations like that on me! I wouldn't have been able to read anything that sparked my interest! How depressing! The only limit I put on my own children is mature content. I guess that means I will have to hide all my romance novels when they get into their teens! ;o) I think it's fine to monitor what your child reads, but be reasonable! You could be limiting them in their future endeavors! Let their imaginations soar!
With the start of October, I've been busy harvesting the garden and working on Halloween costumes. I am also working on a little piece from the WD weekly writing prompt called The Never-Ending Dream. Keep watching for it.
