THE SPANISH MAGNATE'S REVENGE is almost done. I've been buried in the ending. I always get this way — grumble, groan, moan along the way, and then I hit somewhere before the black moment and the ball starts rolling so fast I can barely keep up. I write as much in the last few days as I did in the first few weeks. It's crazy, but apparently that's my process.
I owe emails. I owe blogs. I owe time to family and friends. I cannot escape the grip of this story. But it's almost done. 🙂 Soon, I'll emerge from the cocoon and wonder what's happened around me.
Hope you writers are getting much done!!! Does this happen to you, btw? Is there a certain point where the story takes you over so completely that eating and sleeping and showering are extreme impositions? 🙂
I wish I were at that point. My new book has sort of stalled in ch 3. I know exactly what is supposed to happen, but my hero isn’t talking to me. He can’t get a word in edgewise from the heroine. sigh.
Oh man, SP, I understand that feeling!!! I always hate the first few chapters. It’s like pulling teeth to get it to come out in any kind of way I like.
And I usually ‘hear’ one character better to begin with too.
