Odd Day & Current Novels


Odd Day and Current Novels

Odd Day—
I guess, really, there’s nothing odd about the other day. Tuesday my sister dropped off my nephew, Mathew, as always. She likes to have one day for herself so she can hang out with her friends and then clean before Mathew can ruin it for the rest of the week.
I was getting ready to take my husband to a job interview and she asked me to walk with her to her car. Her exact words were “I have a proposition for you.” I was a little, not horrified, but intrigued, I guess. Not something you hear everyday from your sister. I nodded and followed her over while Carlos was finishing getting ready.
She got into her car and pulled out a folder. “Can you turn this into a book?” I looked at her and waited for the punch line. There wasn’t one.
The folder was a journal that she had to keep for her English class. The journal details her relationship with her friend/boyfriend/ex-boyfriend. She said that I could keep everything but expand on it. All she wants is a percentage of the royalties (if it sells), and a signed copy from the author.
I smiled and said that I could do that. There is more that she has to add, so I’m just waiting for the email. I told her that I have a lot of stuff in front of it and she said that was fine. I’m also waiting on a reply to a text I sent her. I need to make notes and want to know if I can do it on the papers she gave me or if I should make copies.
I have an idea as to how I want to it and I have Amelia Jade of the Writer’s Café for that. I’ll keep it as journal. I’ll show action during the day and then at night have her writing in the journal. Of course, I’ll need to change the wording a bit and things like that, but this could be interesting.
I’ll keep you posted.

Current Novels—
Life and Death
Egotisitcal Mama (on going) This is a collection of poetry, so it will take time to get it where I want to be. The perfect book to work on when I get stuck.
A Perfectly Secret Affair (on going) This is a collection of short stories. I can take my time and work on this when I can’t work on one of my novels.
Dreamland Theater

There’s really not much else to say.

I would like to thank all of my new readers. You guys, as writers, know how important and awesome it is to have people reading your work.
