I have the author blues. I’m sure I’m not the only author
that suffers from this. I have many author problems. The one that plagues me on
a regular basis is, what should I write. If you are a writer that has a
singular idea and has the aptitude to focus on that idea and none other than
this doesn’t apply to you. I also do a slow clap for you. You are amazing. No
really you are superhuman.
My problem is I’m in capable of focusing on one book at a
time. When people find out I’m an author they always say “Oh it must be hard to
have to come up with things to write about.” I sigh and my speech is always the
same. Material to write about and ideas have never been a problem for me. I
never, I mean never run out of ideas. My problem is I have too many ideas, so many
in fact that I can’t seem to concentrate on only one, or two, or three.
I’m the writer that works on more than one book at a time. I
pray that I actually finish a book. I honestly am amazed that I have been able
to finish a complete book. If you were in my head you would understand my
severe problem with focus. It is extremely frustrating for me. I constantly
feel like I’m letting my readers down. I think I could produce more books if
only I could concentrate on one story at a time. This is precisely why I have
given up on giving exact release dates for upcoming titles. My brain gets
distracted too easily.
I’m sure I’m being too hard on myself. But then again once
you see my list of works in progress you may be inclined to agree with me.
These are just the books I’ve been working on for the last 30 days that are over
three thousand words. I have at least 20 more works in progress. So with no
further ado here is the list of my current WIP’s.
The Truth Behind The Lies 219,364
Female cop book in 1st person9,099
Female cop book in 3rd person8,557
Untitled random idea7,125
Male cop book5,072
La Femme Selita 24,415
Spy book4,122
Prequel of old book3,870
Fox Brothers Book 33,382
The total word count could have easily been one or two books
if added together. As you can see I’m all over the place. I need a pill that
helps me finish one book at a time. Although this feels overwhelming at times I
should rejoice in the fact that my schizophrenic author brain has published 13
Lolah Lace titles and 6 Krystell Lake titles.
My mantra is one day I’m going to get my sh*t together. I
sure hope so.
These are the songs I listened to while writing THE TRUTH BEHIND THE LIES. This is part of the inspiration process. Take a look and you can see why I chose these songs.
1. How’s That – FKA TwigsThis is the song I used for the book trailer.
These words are sensual and overtly sexual. She wants him in her wink wink.
That feels good, In my...
That feels good
So so
amazing
I want you, In my...
2.Say You
Will – Kanye West This song was the song Bash played on they way back home
after their overnight stay at the hotel in Indiana.
When I grab your neck.
I
touch your soul.
Take off your cool, then lose control.
3.Blow –
Beyoncé I put this song in the playlist because it was about a man giving a
woman oral pleasures and this took place fairly often in the book. This song
was probably played the most because it fit the best with the storyline.
Can
you eat my skittles?
It’s the sweetest in the middle.
Pink is the flavor, solve
the riddle.
4.Cabaret –
Justin Timberlake Another sexy song that displays how a man feels about the
sexiness of his woman. This remains me of Bash.
Now can we discuss.
Just how fast you got undressed.
Girl if sex is a contest.
Then you’re come in first.
5. Lights On – FKA Twigs This erotic song conveys feeling so comfortable
with someone in a sexual manner with lyrics like *when I trust you we can do it with the lights
on* this instantly made it to the playlist because Bash and Nina took their time
getting to know each other.
Break or seize me.
Let the things that I tell you
survive.
In the way that you handle your size.
Never leave me.
6.Feelings
– Maroon 5 This fast paced happy song was on the playlist because it
conveyed the joy the characters felt encountering a new love.
If you want me.
Take me home and let me use you.
7. Trini Dem Girls – Nicki Minaj This song was mentioned in the book as the song Nina danced to in her open clutter free living room. She wanted to see if she still could pat the pum pum.
Put it in his face like a cop badge.
He wanna
pound it like a hashtag.
8. Crazy In
Love (2014 Remix) – Beyoncé This song in its slow version is pretty much
the anthem for being hopelessly and helplessly in love. You may have heard the song a million times but there's something so sexy and provocative about this slowed down groaning version of the song.
You got me sprung
and
I don’t care who sees,
cause baby you got me.
9.Hours – FKA
Twigs British artist FKA Twigs has a host of very sexual songs with explicit lyrics. That’s if you listen closely to the words. Her songs seem
to fit perfectly with the subject matter I tackled in the book.
How would you like it
if I sucked
before I bite
but it wasn’t too hard
so it felt alright
10. Chains – Nick Jonas This song made it to the playlist because it was
indicative to feeling an undeniable attachment to a lover. The beat was cool and just want was needed to keep me writing about Nina and Bash.
You got me in chains
you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change,
no I wouldn't change this love
These are the main songs on my playlist for the novel The Truth Behind The Lies. Book 2 will have a new playlist.
