When we were on our way to NYC, we were struck with a brand-spanking new idea. But we'll finish the sequel first...as we talk obsessively about the new idea.lisa and laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144863275895761642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501611235905219648.post-4507345815098141692010-03-22T10:51:16.670-05:002010-03-22T10:51:16.670-05:00Sue, so glad you commented, I've been curious ...Sue, so glad you commented, I've been curious about how you do it because I know you always have more than one idea floating around that brilliant brain of yours!<br /><br />Jenn, I agree! But sometimes, for me, it's hard to distinguish what my gut is saying versus my mind. It likes to trick me that way.ChristaCarol Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02908423468344511136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501611235905219648.post-51782824915801012522010-03-22T10:50:17.355-05:002010-03-22T10:50:17.355-05:00Tiffany, hope you got some sleep!Tiffany, hope you got some sleep!ChristaCarol Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02908423468344511136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501611235905219648.post-77266494857082373872010-03-22T10:08:34.672-05:002010-03-22T10:08:34.672-05:00it depends on how much the idea is bothing me but ...it depends on how much the idea is bothing me but go with what your gut tells you to do!Jennifer Walkuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441887850464334900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501611235905219648.post-9906451258437129392010-03-22T09:50:31.060-05:002010-03-22T09:50:31.060-05:00It depends on how much the idea is nagging me. If ...It depends on how much the idea is nagging me. If it becomes an obsession, i.e. if I'm thinking about it every waking moment, then I need to do something about it...like write! <br /><br />Other ideas that appeal to me but simmer gently in some remote corner of the brain are dealt with by scribbling down a few notes in my notebook. Then, when I find some time, I start writing.<br /><br />I have a shiny new idea at the moment but I also have a novel that really needs revisions because I want to start querying it in a month or two. So, I'm knuckling down to revisions at the moment and am hoping that the SNI hangs around and ferments nicely.sue laybournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549268075528924978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501611235905219648.post-77053831156016374532010-03-22T00:19:25.544-05:002010-03-22T00:19:25.544-05:00Stupid Texas.

When's summer?<br /><br />And as for the idea thing, if it's not coming naturally but something else is, then put it on hold and go for what the muse wants.<br /><br />And feed her chocolate and other yummy things.<br /><br />Can't wait to see some snippets of the new WIP!! :)<br /><br />And, why for the love of all things, am I still up? I have to be up in less that 5 hours...ARRGGHHH!!!Tiffany Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843374938222817346noreply@blogger.com
