First off I’d like to announce the contest winners. Everyone who entered did a fabulous job. Thank you all for taking the time to do so. Without further ado, the winners are Danny, who’s won a copy of ‘Wicked Women On Top’, Kelli, who’s won an ARC of ‘Bad Boys Over Easy’, Alyssa, who’s won an ARC of ‘Bad Boys Over Easy’, and Julia B., who’s won a copy of ‘Wicked Women On Top’. The runners up are Sue, who’s won a copy of ‘Wicked Women On Top’ and Karen G., who’s won an ARC of ‘Bad Boys Over Easy’. I wish I could give everyone who entered a book for being so brave. Congratulations to the winners. I need you all to email me your addresses, so that I can send out your books.
If you’ve been following my blogs you know that I’ve been fighting my single title contemporary. I believe this has a lot to do with the fact that I’m rewriting most of the book. I truly think it wouldn’t be such a headache if I were working from scratch. Yesterday it KO’d me. The ref rang the bell and the manuscript won. I licked my wounds and decided to regroup.
I called a friend, Sage Grayson, who is terrific at brainstorming. We picked over a couple of smaller partials I’ve had hanging around. Turns out one had enough plot to already be made into a single title. The other one does now. (wg) So I’m going to chart out the two books and get to work. Fingers crossed it’s easier than what I have been doing over the past month and a half.

You are SO right about it being easier to write from scratch than rewrite. So, so, right. Good luck with the rewrite!

Steph, I certainly hope so. If not, it’ll make a pretty nifty door stop.
