So I have been beating my head against the wall. Trying to figure out the internal conflict for my hero in my story. And I had this LIGHTBULB moment. 😯 Here I am trying to whip my story into a category proposal. Cut out some secondary characters. Scale back the heroine’s POV. Figure out the hero’s goal. Then it came to me…this ISN’T a category story. No matter how much I want it to be. It’s a single title. DUH. Just because I want to get a proposal back on the desk of an editor from a category house who has been giving me good feedback on my submissions…doesn’t mean this story is going to fit the bill. It so isn’t.
Single Title. That is all there is to it. :mad2: I can at least admit this now 
Yes, it’s Magic March. Time to make magic with our writing. Of course, the only way to make magic is to put your butt in the chair and write… :mad2:
So I’m once again stuck on internal GMC for my characters. I don’t know why this hangs me up. But it does. Every time. I’ve told myself to get over it and just learn to do it. But EVERY TIME it happens again. I usually get one the characters pretty nailed down. But then I have the hardest time with the other character.
This time my heroine has trust issues. She’s been hurt. People she loves leave her. (yes, trite and done a lot, but I think I handled it well). But then the hero? Well, right now he doesn’t have any flaws and is pretty damn perfect. Yes, I know, this is a problem isn’t it??:crazy2:
Yes, name that month. Focus February. Let’s Focus. Let’s Focus on WRITING, not all the other things calling to us. You know, laundry, cleaning, food on the table, day jobs. All those things are going to be there. Day after day. (after day, after day…). If I don’t make writing a focus of my day…it just gets swept away in the tide of “real life”.
So this month I’m commited to focusing on my writing. Pages, brainstorming, synopsis writing, affirmations. “I’m a GREAT, TALENTED synopsis writer!”
I’m willing to give up a clean house for my writing this month too… 😆
So what are you going to do this month to focus on your writing??
