Poisoned Purple Pen

Plugging along

Isn't it pretty? I love new merit badges, and I definitely worked my butt off for that one. Cracking the top 20 reviewers for July on WdC, not too shabby. As of this moment I'm sitting in the #10 slot, and hoping I can stay in the top ten through August.

I've made it to the last written chapter of "Bride 2 Be"   by Purple Snowflakes , and am all caught up now. It's sitting at 27k words, so it's halfway written. Now if I can just figure out how to end it, I can do the same thing with book 4 that has no ending.

I finished both my stories for I Write early this week. I'm happy with the Dialogue 500 entry, but not so much with the Weekly Quickie one. I used to be so good and knocking a Quickie out and winning week after week. I see that same fire in the love scenes in my books. So I don't get why I can't get that same passion and fire in 869 words. Am I just out of practice or what???? [insert frustrated scream here]

I've decided I'm going to clean this morning [with the brace on my hand], put my music on shuffle and see if I can get some inspiration. You never know when a nice story arch will hit. Here's to hoping for one today.
