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.
