The book I*ve been working on lately took me in another direction. Not a bad one, mind you, but different. It was supposed to be the beginning of a series, but after I finished writing Chapter 6, it hit me that I could have much more fun with this character in another book and THEN write this one, just tweak it and make it a little bit different.
I actually was able to sit down, do a little research and then mini-plot out the entire book! And, since I did that, I*ve decided that instead of the cozy mystery I*d planned to work on during NaNoWriMo, I*m going to work on this book instead and work on the cozy possibly in Dec/Jan.
I*ve heard other writers say that sometimes the characters in their books do unexpected things, say no to something when the author wants them to say yes, or vice versa. Has this ever happened to you? Or, have your characters ever called to you said, “Hey, I should have another story, and this one too.”
Hope you have a great weekend.

You know I’ve never been one to do multiple boks for one character. I don’t know, the urge never struck me.
But I’m so excited you’re doing NaNo! Can I say that again? LOL. I know I keep saying it.

Oh yes I’ve changed things halfway, gone totally opposite of what I’d planned due to some character talking. Inspiration strikes and I’m off and running. Or my characters are off and running…
