I
finally finished my ‘first draft’ of my current WIP, which I started writing in
November 2012. For a first draft, I’m pretty damn proud and excited about it. I’ll
be marketing it as Women’s fiction – Contemporary Women – “Chick-Lit”. I’ve
done my homework on genres and sub-genres, and I feel this is the best label
for it.
At
the present time, I’ve only been using a working title. Hopefully I’ll fix that
soon enough.
The
book is about a woman's struggle to find her true self. She loses so much—including
her memory. As she learns about who she is, she must come to terms with her
mistakes, and rebuild her life.
Alcohol
and loss are what originally brought Easton and Brand together. Once out of rehab, Easton
offers Brand a place to stay for a price. With nothing left to lose but her
sarcasm, Brand takes him up on his offer, which begins a whirlwind of adventure
and sexual tension.
Since
this novel is very different from my dark, psychological suspense thriller, Net
Switch, I feel a renewed sense of accomplishment. I want to write different
genres and even attempt other forms of writing. I’ll admit though, I didn’t
twerk while I was typing. I waited until I was finished with the last
sentence.
If
you’re unfamiliar with twerking, please watch this video, but don’t imitate
her.
First Drafts and Twerking,
Bea
