So my brain doesn't seem to want to focus well right now, but ideas are still coming in. I've been taking notes on the new ideas and writing as much as I feel comfortable with. I know I'm going to have to go back and throw out some of what I'm writing right now, but I just don't feel good about letting a day go by without writing something.
So, this is what I'm working on:
Fly--I need to make some major changes to this one to refocus it.
Soulfinder--I think I've found the right path for this one. MAJOR revision necessary before it will work or even go forward.
Moonlight Deception--this one knows where it needs to do, i just have to get there
The Sculptor--I'm excited about this idea, but my fuzzy brain isn't putting the words out with the images I see in my head.
Still need to do final edits on Seven Days, begin editing Banished Sun and work on Thorned Illusion.
I'm feeling a little ADD right now LOL.
If I wasn't also having trouble staying focused on reading, I might be prone to letting the fear take over that I just don't have anymore good writing in me. My inability to focus on anything for very long means it's not just writing and when it passes, I'll be right back in the saddle.

Praise for Fly
So I decided to work on Fly today and I submitted the first chapter to YouWriteOn.com. This is a review posted by Jillian Taberner from YouWriteOn.com
Fascinating - I've never read anything like it!
You set up the relationship between Olivia, her brother and their Grandma with skill. Having explained the background (the death of their parents) you introduce the special 'skills' that exist in the town of Knoxmeadow.
This story is something of an allegory - there are real towns where there is a ruling family, or group of people, because of their wealth and political power. Here their power is different but potent.
Your protrayal of the relationship between brother and sister, and their Grandma, is succinctly and clearly expressed. One immediately likes them - all three.
The scene that forces Olivia to reveal her particular skill is paced well, fast enough to create tension and make the reader want to read on, but it doesn't lose its power by rushing into the scene without due description.
It's an interesting and intriguing theme and you use good vocabulary - great adjectives.
More please.
Obviously, I'm stoked about that review! It certainly makes me feel like I need to finish Fly. I'm going to keep working. I hope you'll keep reading!
