Summer Plans

Summer Plans

My summer plans have been in motion for a few months now, and well…. plans just don’t seem to work out for me. It’s getting frustrating. .
For health, I’ve been doing water aerobics and pool workouts 2-3 times a week. My back and knees are feeling good enough that I’m starting to add strength training as regular thing too. I’m determined to get back a healthier me.

Healthier equals happier, and more creative. Seriously, I always notice a big upswing not just in motivation but in my creativity as well, when I’m being more active.

Speaking or creativity. Here’s the plan.
I set aside my futirstic/sci-fi in June. I’ll get back to it when I feel the urge, which who knows when that will be. LOL

Current WIP is MARKED BY A DARE, a novella set in Carly Phillips Dare World. It’s set ot release on Sept 22, and I’m just staring it- even though I tried to start it July 1st. I’ve had a very hard time getting it going.

Then I’m expanding and rewriting UNABASHED, the second  Ronnie and Ian novella. If you’re read UNFETTERED – and if you haven’t, Why the hell not? – then you know who I’m talking about. I revisited them recently with my novella UNABASHED. It’s in the Every Which Way anthology that is out right now, in case you didn’t know.  I was going to write a third installment/novella to stand on it’s own and decided against it. Instead of releasing UNABASHED on its own as it is, I”m just going to expand it,so Unabashed is longer, and completes the main introduction/story of Ronnie and Ian and release it as one story instead of two shorter novellas. What do you think? Good Idea? or do you like a couple of shorter novellas instead of a longer one?

Once this is done, then Ian and Ronnie’s story will be caught up with where PRIMAL ends, timeline wise, then I’ll move forward with CARNAL.
