The Drama Continues--I gave my teenaged twins chicken pox!

They did have chicken pox, but they weren't quite two years old and only had a few spots.

This time they have more than a few.

Being
my daughters, they requested books, so my eldest daughter and I made a trip to the library and returned with a dozen young adult books. So with computer games, calamine lotion, Benedryl, and books, they should make it through okay.

If they miss the marching band party next weekend, they may never forgive me!

In the midst of all this drama I bought the October Nocturne Bites, so I am off to read!

Dreamtime plotting

I woke up early this morning but since I didn't sleep well last night I decided to go back to sleep.

I have this novel with a block, and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. I love the futuristic setting, I love my heroine's growth...it was my hero. He morphed from Alpha Military Good Guy into Alpha Jerk in ONE SCENE!

This morning I dreamed that scene (except his hair was all wrong, it is supposed to be in dreadlocks but in my dream it was more like Prince Valiant's). I got deep pov from the hero, which the story lacked.

Isn't that wild--this is not the story I've been working on recently, though I do think about it a lot.
