I haven't started the new book.
Phew, it feels good to get that out there. I have lots of good excuses - the boys have been sick, the house is a wreck, HubbaBubba worked late every night...no good reasons though. Especially since my brother came and watched my boys tonight AND managed to clean my house. Yeah, I need to make him move in! He's a wonder!
The book hasn't gelled yet. There is still something not working. I have it plotted out in my mind...but it's not there yet. Usually this doesn't stop me, but I want 2007 to have half the number of rejections of 2006. The only way to do that is to either not submit or write stories I think my editor will snag. Given my submission addiction, I'm betting on the lovely editor.
Harumph. Isn't this supposed to be easy? Every non-writer thinks so...

I hate it when it takes time for it to gell. I know you'll get it. I know it's tough, but it will come to you.
Hooray on having someone to watch the kids and clean the house.
I never thought it would be easy, published or non. Because I've been warned from the get go that it's always an uphill battle.
This will be your year! Good luck!
I had to laugh at your 'isn't this supposed to be easy' -- my husband surely thinks it should be! ;)
Good luck!

LOL I know what you mean. It's like my hands won't start typing the story until the little unknown is known even if I don't know exactly what it is.
(Oh yeah, that made total sense)
