Well, I didn't write today. I plotted. And it hurt my head, and I read everything I've written on TWAB. Good, bad and indifferent. I'm trying to make a clear concise choice about whether anything I've written is what I want this story to be. Conclusion?
None of it. Not one word is going to stay.
I want a dark story. A story of love against all odds, and betrayal.
Sigh. And that is not what I have here. And this style or kind of book I'm going to make this idea into goes against my grain. It's probably one of the reasons why I'm having such a hard time with it. My natural voice is light hearted and sarcastic. I don't want that for this book.
This book is my Romeo and Juliet, in a lot of ways. Hopefully it won't end as badly for my two main characters. At least I hope not. But this book is going to take me really getting serious. Not writing from the seat of my pants and I'm going to really have to think about every word I use. Tone and atmosphere in this book will either make it or break it.
Tomorrow I won't write on this either. I'll be working on either BOB, or TOT tomorrow while still thinking on this. I may even work on this story in the mornings. This one is going to be a serious challenge I think more so because I know where my talents are...*grin*
Anyway, it'll be late before I post tomorrow as I'll be out of town~

I'm having trouble with my WIP in terms of POV. Can't figure out if I want to write a straight female centered book, or include my hero's pov. Since it's first person it's kinda tricky.

DO NOT WRITE ANOTHER WORD UNTIL WE TALK!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT MY BLUE BAT!
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
I need a drink (of tea). LOL!
