What new addictions lie in wait for me

I am a first rate procrastinator. I have just recently discovered this flaw. I don't mean to say that I never knew I was one at all, but have since discovered just how good I am at it.

Twitter. Facebook. Smashwords. *sigh*

I will write for 10 minutes, then hit tab and pull up my browser that I rarely close. See what earth-shaking news happened in those 10 minutes, then write some more. Over and over. Then to my horror, discover I have barely written a page.

Yes, I need help.

Any writers out there know of a cure?

Daydreaming

What would I do if I could live out my dream of being a working writer? Well, write, of course. But then, I could write from anywhere. What new ideas could come from new scenery?

Driving down the Blue Ridge Parkway, would I see inspiration in the incredibly beautiful sights? Could I imagine it at night? Would I see my hero driving, lost in troubled thoughts, suddenly witness an angel step from the trees. Would she change his life forever? Could he accept her for what and who she was?

How about the amazing U.S.1? Surrounded by blue, soft breeze blowing, my Heroines car breaks down. She walks along, accepts a ride from a stranger and learns that there are things out there she never knew about before.

This is my hope for the future.To explore the highways and byways of this country. The back roads and the walking trails. I want to know this world intimately. Starting with home.

Now the fun begins!

Yes indeed. After another round of things designed to make me lose my mind, I am back.

Okay, so, this is what I am doing these days. I am writing steadily on my sequel to Symphony, updating my website, trying to figure out Twitter, working, trying to come up with ideas for a flyer to advertise me, and sleeping a little bit. Busy, but loving it!

I have at least 2 other book ideas, and I am itching to get started on them, again, but I made a promise to myself to finish Symphony 2. (Still need to come up with a title.)

I am looking forward to owning a car again. Taxis are not cheap. Not even close. I am also looking forward to being able to write full time.

I have two books on Smashwords, Symphony and Howl at the Moon. Symphony is also available at BarnesandNoble.com, Kobo, Diesel, Sony, The Apple iStore, With Amazon coming in September.

I am going to enjoy my summer of writing!
