Just a spot for random musings. No one ever accused me of being a conscientious blogger. |
| I am miserable at blogging. Life and other things (like writing) keep me from doing any musings on a regular basis. We'll have to see how it goes. |
| Writing today on the last book in the Pantheon series. I haven't written on this one in a while. It's not the world I have trouble getting back into, just the head of my female main character. See, the main male character has actually been in the last three books and he's rather like an old friend. Her? I'm not so sure about. She's very self-contained and emotionally fragile. To pair them up, abuse her trust, blow them up and then get them together? I'm going to have to work for this one. She's going to give me fits and I know it. Submitted Wilding Heart the other day. Got the list of tweaks for the cover art today. (Please understand, most publishers don't want you to send cover concept art. This is a slightly different situation since I already have the other two books published through them and they expect me to do this now. I wouldn't suggest any new author trying it.) Now, I know I'm one of the lucky ones who have some kind of artistic control over my cover art. My oldest daughter does the artwork and she does a wonderful job. The tweaks will be done over the next week or so. I love that part, seeing the cover come together. Makes me wish I was any kind of an artist. On a happy note, my husband finished reading Pantheon and called it a "really good story". Except for the sex, lol. All two love scenes. Still, this is the one guy in the universe who will tell me it stinks if he doesn't like it so the good review from him means the world. A touch of fantasy... https://www.deborahmcnemar.webs.com |
| I'm going to chalk today up to a learning experience. Seriously. My hubby and I have been refurbishing an old mobile home for our youngest daughter who wants to get out of apartment living. Now, this trailer is no prize. Holes in the floor, rotted carpet and backed up plumbing. (What can I say? It was free.) Hubby replaced the floors, put in new carpet and linoleum and replumbed or fixed the pipes. Today we were supposed to finished the last bits to make it liveable. Yeah. Right. Somehow, I thought "we" was just a verbal typo of "he". How wrong I was. I found myself on the working end of a screwdriver installing smoke alarms. Not bad. Then I was expected to change door locks. I panicked. I couldn't help it. I've never changed a knob before in my life. If you want walls painted or floors cleaned or even curtains made, I'm your go-to girl. Not maintenence. Not me. It turns out, it's not so difficult. I then caulked the kitchen sink and the new bathtub surround. I discovered later that caulking does come off your hands if you scrub hard enough but I think my jeans are history. Still, the trailer is done and I learned a lot. The next time a character needs to change to locks and kick her old boyfriend to the curb, I won't have to call my hubby for directions. I can simply write with confidence. However, if a motor needs overhauled or I need to bypass an electronic lock using a condom, he's still my guy... A touch of fantasy... https://www.deborahmcnemar.webs.com |
| It's been a long time since I've blogged. According to WDC, 15,299 days. That would be about 42 years and, since I wasn't blogging at the tender age of 2 nor was the website in existence, I think they counted wrong. Life changed again last wednesday with the addition of a granddaughter. Arianna Lorraine. Only 6 1/2 pounds. Tiny thing and then we were told she had a hole in her lung and she was hurried off to Neonatal ICU for 4 days. She's better now, the hole sealed itself and she'll be coming home tomorrow. Just one of the small things we'll be giving thanks for this week. On the writing front, Bluewood Publishing (www.bluewoodpublishing.com) released Pantheon in August. Hades will follow shortly and I still have book four to write, lol. With the holidays and the fact that I work retail, time to write is going to be hard to find. The third Fae Tales book is completed and in edit mode ( thank you Midnight Dawn  for taking a peek at it for me). Once the Pantheon series is complete (no, no Coalition series to follow, lol) I've got an alien cat man on my brain that won't leave me alone. We'll have to see where that one goes.It's good to be back at WDC. Have to hang out and look up some familiar faces.
