I’ve just finished a full read through of my paranormal romance WIP. I cut a bunch of stuff and realized just how much work it still needs. I need to add characters and figure out the ending. I know most people probably finish their novels before giving them a read through, however, I was and am struggling with this story and needed to re-read it before I did any more work on it because I was STUCK!
Instead of trying to figure it all out, I think I am going to switch gears. I'm going to put my paranormal romance aside and let it percolate for a bit and work on another story. I have a plot idea, (which is SO different than anything I’ve ever written before) that I really want to explore. It’s not a mystery or a paranormal. It might fall under the Heart & Home category for Harlequin. It’s about family and love. Very different for me! I don’t have any characters living in my head yet (ok, maybe one, but she’s not a major character. I don't think...) This plot is literally two days old, but I feel compelled to explore it and see where it may travel. Maybe switching gears will help jog my brain and I’ll be able to figure out what’s happening with my paranormal story?
Now, if only the characters would come and introduce themselves. ;-)
