It’s no secret that during the Summer my writing inspiration
waivers a bit. Kind of ironic considering that my novel series is titled
“Summer’s Hollow” huh? It makes sense though; sunny warm days spent out in the
backyard grilling are just not inducive for write horror. Now don’t get me
wrong, I still write, but it’s usually out of my usual genre and tends to be
more “practice writing” than anything else.
Now it’s August and even though the days are still sticky
and humid here in Maryland, the inspiration juices are starting to brew. Not
only that but now I have an aid to my writing… an extra little “nugget” of
inspiration to help me finish out the Summer’s Hollow series. I’m happy to
announce that I am currently “brewing” a little one!
With this announcement comes a new level of anxiety: trying
to pop out the new book before I pop out the baby in April; however, for those
of you who have read the series, you can see how this new life development
could be a wonderful inspiration. In fact, just trying to become pregnant gave
me a whisper of ideas to trek through the story. So officially I am ramping
back up with my usual level of horror writing, this time with a little bit of
extra help.
So I sit here on this slightly cooler day, rain pouring down
the windows ready to hit the page (or rather computer screen) running!
