It's A Secret!
Don't tell anyone, but my sex life has gotten better since I began to write romance. It makes sense. I have to create this tension between two people, then I get to write all that fun, juicy stuff and then I get to have a happy ending. It's all real satisfying to me. So, Joe gets the benefit of my writing in more ways than one. I'm only telling you this since it's early in the morning on a Saturday and I'm awake. Now you know why. Didn't want to know that much did you? My book is going really well. I just finished another two pages. I've got my characters at odds already. The story is that my heroine, Charlene, grew up with Crab fisherman. Her father was a fisherman and her brother was lost at sea. The hero, Ethan, is a childhood friend and a fisherman. Eight years before, Charlene and Ethan slept together. She begged him to quit fishing and he wouldn't. She left and went to L.A. When one of the deckhands that supposedly went down with her brother shows up in an Arizona jail, Charlene goes looking for the truth of what really happened to her brother. I've got her cooking for Ethan's crew. They've aired some of their resentments. There's no real secret to their feelings for each other. The conflict lies (as it so often does in real life) in whether they can find acceptance for each other. Can she accept that he's a fisherman and always will be? Can he accept that she hurt him because she was young and foolish. I'm starting to really care what happens to Charlene and Ethan. That's good. So now I wonder if I should change my website with a blurb about the new wip or keep "Hidden Grief" up there. Opinions welcome as always.
