I’ve been writing, writing, writing. I was halfway through my current novel and was happy with the progress. But then a few days ago<\/p>\n

BAM!<\/span> <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

WHAM!<\/span> <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
SHAZAM!<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I had an idea for a novel that I can’t not write. I can’t fall asleep at night without thinking about it. I can’t drive my car without thinking about it. I can’t take a shower without thinking about it. I hate to abandon the other novel I’ve been working on, but my brain won’t let me work on it anymore. I’m just going to put it on hold for a little while until this one gives my brain a rest.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I love doing research and this one is making me do lots. Internet research does wonders for my Swagbucks account and my Nook account balance, so I’m a happy girl right now.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Since I’m not too far into it yet, and it could change I hate to say what the books about so soon. But I thought it might be fun to post a few of my internet searches while I’m working on it to give you a few little clues. So here goes – two of the search terms I’ve done today…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1 – What year did the Vietnam war end?<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2 – How to hide the scent of urine.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Oh yes, because of the title of this blog post you knew the word ‘urine’ had to be in here somewhere. Have a great weekend – I’m heading back to the book holding me prisoner at the moment. I get to meet with my critique group tomorrow and I can’t wait to hear what they think of the first chapter! Until later…<\/div>\n
