Exciting Day

I don't know about you when you start something new, but for me, my heart feels like it's been energized with new blood and I'm ready to do something new in my life. Right now, that something new is a book. You might ask why I'm writing a new book when I have so many I'm working on. The answer is simple - it's what I do. I needed an infusion of something and this book was a waking project this morning. As I mentioned in the previous post, it might be a romance. If I can steer away from that it would be wonderful. My working title is Change of Heart. Change of Heart isn't your normal romance where girl/boy meet each other, hate each other on the way to loving each other. So far, that's a good thing. It's the 21st century, so contemporary, takes place in the known world, so not science fiction, at least not yet, who knows. Anything could happen. This story starts out with interfering parents who contracted their children for marriage when they were children. They never met, conversed, or knew anything about each other other than what they found out through social media. Their only source of information. It's their wedding day. I made it through the wedding ceremony. I know the female character's thoughts about her parent's interference in her life, not at all happy about it. I haven't met the male lead character yet. That's coming. Their names - Andrea Breanna Linwood and Richard Nathanael Camden. They come from wealthy parents who tend to rule their children's lives. Andrea has a mind of her own and now that she's out from under her parent's constant interference in her life, she intends to carry on with what she loves most. She wants to work with people in third world countries. She has a college education to take her in that direction. She did have some control over her life, but not much. Whether or not she will is yet to be seen as I know nothing yet about Richard. It will be fun getting to know him and what his goals and intentions are now that he is also married against his will. The parents of each put a prenuptial agreement in place that states there would be no divorce in this relationship marriage. So you know a change of heart is coming before the end of the book. I can tell you whatever direction this takes, it will be a wild ride. That's what's new for me. Have you started any new projects? Tell me about them. Thanks for reading.

I'm glad you're already drawn into it. Thank you. If I read this one for Writer's Guild, I'm sure to keep it going to the end. Something to consider.

This book already sounds incredible-I LOVE it! =) As for my project, I think you already know about my session to benefit the homeless. Another one is my husband and I will start personalizing furniture and things using my photography.

I'm working on Richard. I got through it because I was focused on Andrea. My next scene, to be written, will involve Richard, so I'll know a little more about him when I get back to writing. Your new project sounds like a lot of fun. I hope you take pictures of those zippered pouches with boxed corners.

@crazyhorseladycx That's a nice pouch. Richard has made it into the book and we're becoming acquainted with one another. I've made changes, and depending on when I figure out the plot of this book, will determine if I make more changes to Richard and Andrea.

Thank you. Right now, it's the 21st century and the where, temporarily, Boston. That's where they got married, it's not where they're staying. I haven't gotten that far in my plot thoughts yet.

That would be a good book, Change of Heart. I am afraid prearranged marriage of Andrea and Richard would turn into a favorable one as they live as wife and husband.

It will, but it will be a long road to get to that point. I can't make it easy for them. It's not love at first sight. If that even exists.

You could have so many twists and sidetracks with that one, Valerie. I can only imagine how much fun you will have developing the story. I'm just trying to get my mom back in her house. And get some justice served to those who stole everything she had.

@just4him - Enjoy your new project. I love to write, too. My blog is perfect for me, because I am constantly working on new posts for it. I have weeks worth of posts which I have already written but not posted, yet.

@just4him - Yes, I do that so I always have a weekly post ready, even if something happens ... like when my husband was in the hospital. Whenever I take a class for senior citizens or read an interesting article, I can often turn the information into two or three new posts, which I spread out.

Thank you. I have a few scenarios going through my mind for where to go from here. My thoughts are definitely steering away from romance. It just might end up being science fiction, or not. I'll know the next time I open it up.

An idea is not copyright, and even if they had the same idea, the story would ultimately be different. So, I'm not worried about it.
