Here's to Long Showers

I've often told people that my muse is most active while I'm in the shower. My friend and fellow author, Tessa Dare, always asks what type of shower gel I use and where she can get it! Well, inspiration struck again today...in the shower, as always.

I've been plodding along with Mojave Moon, the writing has been "there"...it's just not been "THERE!"...Then, halfway through my shower this morning, I had a most wonderous idea. It was a simple switch the bad guy to "X" instead of "Y" ! Yowza! I plotted out the rest of the book this morning and it works. What's even greater is that all the clues I planted about "X" will now serve as a red herring...and the villian has been there all along.

So, I'm feeling a bit brilliant today.

I agree, the shower is a source of great wisdom. As is driving, I find from time to time. I get a lot of ideas while I'm driving.

Glad you're feeling brilliant, and I'm sure it's true. Keep on keeping on!
