As of today, I'm behind on my Nano, by oh, a couple thousand words.
Bigger issue is, I have no... inspiration for my sex scene. How did I manage to only have ONE, ONE sex scene?! This isn't like me at all. Weirder still is, I can't seem to write the bloody thing! BAH!
And my plot. Fuck plot. I'm screwed! I can no climax, because I can't figure out the fucking logistics! Gods damnit.
So I know I want my heroine to get kidnapped.
And she saves herself.
My hero arrives on scene (with or without? the cops) just in time to see my heroine beating the shit out of her stalker turned kidnapper.
It's all the bit inbetween that are making me crazy.
ONE
How does the stalker steal/car jack the taxi? --- Car jackings only work 50% of the time, and are physical and violent. My stalker is cool violent, but he's so not the hand to hand type.
TWO
How does my stalker subdue my Heroine? --- She's taking a cab to the train station, it's a five minute ride. She doesn't know the area, so she isn't going to know they're going the wrong way until that five minute point. At that point how is he going to keep her from calling the cops, or just jumping out of the cab? It's just him, he can't have a gun pointed at her, watch her AND drive.
THREE
Does he knock her out? --- If so, with WHAT?? I've done the research, his best bet would be diazepam. Aka. Vallum. He could use his Dad's pills and crush them to make a liquid for injection BUT he'd HAVE to hit a vein or it wouldn't work, intramuscular injection is shoddy and unpredictable.
FOUR
If he goes with injected vallum, how long will it last? -- A medically approved does works in under ten minutes, if done via a vein, and it's half-life is 30-60 minutes, which means about that time the patient will likely be more themselves than not. How does that timeline change when the 'patient' basically ODs? Overdose is safe in a healthy person, so he's not at risk of killing her, just knocking her out for longer, I'm assuming? But that's just it, I couldn't find info on how much longer, if longer it would work. From what I read it WOULD work longer, as the same dose for a heathly adult, in an elderly person would be stronger and last longer. But HOW much longer?
FIVE
Assuming he manages to get the cab, what does he do with the cabbie??? Does he hit him unconscious? Does he shoot him and stick him in the trunk for later disposal? Does he tie/tape him up and put him in the trunk to deal with later? AGAIN what does he do with the cabbie? Once he gets Eli to his shop, does he go out and dump the cab with cabie? But he'd have to have to put it somewhere far enough from his shop to not put suspicion on himself. And somewhere the cab wouldn't be noticed right away. BUT then how does he get back to his shop??
SIX
What does he do with the GPS that was in the cab? Does he remove it and put it in a car he's fixing?--trouble is, this is monday and the shop is closed, so the client would think it weird they were getting their car back, and the GPS would be too quickly located and traced back to my stalker. Another idea, he can duct tape it to a transport truck that's being loaded in one of the neighbouring lots near his shop.
SEVEN
What is my stalker's fatal mistake, IE, how does the cops or just my colonel find him?!?! *sigh* I don't want to make it too easy, but then, if I cover all my steps, then how the hell does he/they find her?! BAH, BAH I say!
There are so many questions! And not enough answers. Not enough plausible steps. It's all... too overwhelming. It makes me want to give up entirely. It's just too damn complicated. And every time I think I have a solution, I only raise more questions. And my husband, who I forced into helping me vett my plan just kept raining all over my parade with hard truths that meant nothing I suggested would work. *pout*

A New Day
And I'm kinda rather terrified to try that sex scene again. It was so hard to get even a few words last night. And my jaw still aches like nothing else I've dealt with. I'm just not sure I can do it. *sigh*
Maybe I'll work on my plot. I still haven't figured out the logistics of the grand finale. I'm not sure What my stalker is going to do with Eli or how Eli is going to manage to get out of her bonds and kick his ass.
Maybe the stalker will underestimate her abilities? Maybe he'll get a call from his Dad and be forced to leave her alone? But I'm not sure anything would take him away from her, though a call from his Dad would most definitely make him leave the room as he wouldn't want her to hear how his father berates him, or how he does his father's bidding, for the most part. He wouldn't want to ruin Eli's opinion of him, or something.
I need to work on a plausible time-line though. I still haven't gotten that totally worked out yet.

Long Time No Write....
True on so many levels. I haven't actually written anything since NaNo. I haven't even gone back to edit my work -- something I still vow to do. Which reminds me, I need to add "buy printer paper" to my list of things to do, or I'll never get it edited. I'm one of those writers who likes to see things on a real live page. Somehow it just makes it all so much more clear in my head for me to be able to lay it out page by page, physically in front of me.
So what have I been up to lately? Reading romance novels, trying to survive the winter with a chronic illness that kicks my ass ten times harder in the cold, and well, just trying to have some semblance of a life. Living with chronic illness makes that last one harder than healthy people would think! But really, three months into being married, and I'm still totally a newlywed, and all stupidly gooey happy to be married; it makes everything else seem unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
I do have a bit of exciting news though, well for me anyway -- I'm going to take a creative writing course at UofT in April! If that goes well, I am thinking of taking/looking into their 'certificate in creative writing'. It's in their Continuing Education department, which means anyone over 18 can take it, which is good for me since my grades weren't good enough to get me into grad school. Still, it sounds a lot like a master's program to me, which is kinda neat. What I'm really excited about is the fact that the course sounds actually useful and helpful! I love to write, but the one thing that's always plagued me is how to put a story together to have a meaningful/exciting/coherent arc over a whole novel. I've just never written anything that long before. So, I think a little training certain can't hurt! Excited!!

Tired
So yesterday I somehow managed to write 3,000 words, in the two hours I was on the GO bus going back and forth from a family function.
It was a long-ass day, and very tiring for me. I went to bed early and ended up sleeping for 12 hours!! o.0 And I'm still tired, so I'll likely need a nap this afternoon.
I'm really impressed with myself though. 3,000 words in two hours is likely a record for me!
This means I have 11,000 words to go. In three days. oie vey. I don't know if I'm going to make it, but I'm going to try. And my hubby is being a total slave driver about it. He keeps telling me to write, and write until my eyes bleed. It's totally annoying, and also really nice that he's being so supportive.
Off to write! Though.. I've hit at impass on one side. My assassin has finished her job and made it safely home. Now I'm really not sure what to do with her next. Do I show her at home relaxing?? Do we catch up with her on her next job?? I don't even know what her next job should be!! If I'm following my dream, then there's stealing a car, running from the feds, a car chase, a car crash, and my girl walking away with a nasty head wound... Why she had to steal a car, or why the feds are chasing her I have no idea. I'm not even sure we need to know why she's being chased, but it would likely be a better story if we knew why she was at a convention centre type place, and why she had to steal a car to leave, and didn't have a ride of her own... hrm...
Anyway, that bit clearly has kinks to work out. The other bit that's the love story, I know where it needs to go, I just think I'm shit at writing arguments. I'm not very good at arguing in the first place so yeah.. But it doesn't have to be perfect, it's a rough draft! Even my favourite author says she struggles to get dialogue right, so I'm in good company. :)
Wish me luck!
Maybe I need to throw another random sex scene in there somewhere. ha.

Angry
I'm angry today. The reasons are....too personal and complicated to get into. None of you really want to hear them anyway.
What I really want to do is beat the living shit out of someone. Perhaps a good fight scene would suffice. I know I certainly do NOT want to write a sex scene.
In the Anita Blake novels her men often turn her anger into lust. That just does not work for me. When I'm angry the last thing I want is sex. You can't turn me on when I'm angry. You just can't. You CAN make me laugh, if you're good, and THEN once the anger has dissipated you can make me lustful. But I do not have a anger to lust switch. I wish I did! Then maybe I could write the fucking sex scene that's supposed to be next.
There is no violence in my story whatsoever. I had intentions to add some but... I just.... I couldn't figure out a way. Perhaps what creativity I have doesn't go in that direction? And yet right now, I really want to try my hand at it! I just wish I could figure out a way to make it happen in my story.
I'm also starting to second guess my POV. Right now I've written the story entirely in first person of my heroine. I'm kinda wanting to add in my man's POV. I think it might be interesting to see how they are both hiding who they are, at least in part.... But maybe it can be some kind of great shock when she finds out??
Bah. I just don't know.
And really, when is a half-succubus female engineer ever going to get into a fight?!
I'm doing flashbacks right now, so it all has to be relevant to how she got to the point in the story I'm all tying it back to. A fight scene would just not work. I'm not sure there is a fight scene room in any of my early bits of the story... *sigh*
I mean, this is very boy meets girl, boy fucks girl, girl pushes boy to follow dream, girl turns into monster and runs from boy.
That's my part one all summed up.
I really don't know where I could even add a fight in there. *sigh*
I would LOVE to see Alejandro fight someone though.... but I don't think I can fit it in right now. damnit.
**frustrated**

Dirty Hot
"What do you like to be called?"
"Daddy."
Yup. That's right.
So hot.
I wish I could use it, but.... I want my heroine to be the one with the Daddy complex. She didn't *have* a father or a father-figure really, so it's not..... wrong to her. She grew up wishing she had a "Daddy", big, strong, protector... As she got older, she wanted the same things, only from the man she wanted to fuck. Realising your daddy image is sexy hot is..... well depending how your bent, it can just be damn convenient. Getting a man to play daddy for you, that's harder.

4 Hours Sleep! :(
This is not the way I like to start my day, let me tell you! Didn't get to sleep until midnight, woke up at 4am, hungry and unable to go back to sleep. At first I thought it was just acid reflux. No such luck. By the time hubby's alarm went off I was ravenous. I hate sleeping in fits and starts like this! And I'm not going to be able to sleep all morning, I have company coming over. But I will have to nap today at some point or I'm just going to make myself sick with exhaustion. *sigh*
On the bright side, I've mapped out my first 'scene', or maybe it's a chapter? I'm not sure yet. But at least now I know what I want to happen!
I do not, however, want to spend tomorrow early morning mapping out the next one! ugh. I hope I can get some real sleep soon.
Maybe if I figure out today how to go from first kiss to first fuck I'll be able to sleep better.... I refuse to let them happen in the same night. I want this to go slowly.... but I'm not entirely sure I want to write all that.. that's not the story I'm really interested in...never have been from the start...perhaps I started my novel in the wrong spot... hrm...
I'm so tempted to tweak. I'm only 700 words in. But if I tweak now, I may never get beyond 700 words! No no. This is not the time for revisions. I'll have to muddle through somehow.... If I ever manage a second draft, then I can tweak then.
It's acceptable to skip time in a novel isn't it?? Maybe we can meet the best friend... flesh her out a bit.... I really want to just skip ahead here.. really really. maybe I will tweak.... There beginning is just so not important to me.... gods I'm such a bitch...
Is it acceptable to begin a novel with a montage? LOL

It's a start....
723 words. That's how many I managed today. It's a start right? At least I got something on 'paper'. I was worried I'd choke and have nothing to show for today. Well, not nothing, but nothing to help WORD COUNT.
I have approx. 24 printed pages (large font though) of character descriptions & plot points/scenes. Mostly have I have it scened out. Like what I want to happen in the scene. I still don't have an ending, but I'm hoping as I get into it my characters can help me get there.
Tomorrow will have more novel writing than today, I'm hoping. I also get to spend some time with a friend, and at some point I need to go to the bank. I'm such a housewife! ha.
Night all. Happy dreams! Last night I had plot dreams, or rather dreams that may end up in my plot... maybe... likely. haha.

GAH, GAH, GAH I say!!
I've been working on my plot today. For almost 6 hours. It's like a real full time job, this book writing thing.
And I still haven't written a single word of my book. But... It's coming together. I think, I HOPE having this outline will make things make some sense. I hope...
I'm excited writing it. It feels like it's actually coming together to me. I'm trying so hard not to write Anita Blake or Larissa Ione clone. I'm thinking I may not even have a happy ending with like one man... I really have more of a coming of age story than a romance.. I want things to end well....but in a place where more could totally happen, and 'happily ever after' isn't a guarantee....this is, of course, all dependent on me being able to actually WRITE something.
Gah! Gah! GAH! I say.

Plot Blocked!
So I'm stumped. I get to the same point in the story and I think: now what??!?
*Sigh*
I have all kinds of personal issues. I've figured out my man's. He was easy. My heroine - not so much.
I mean, intimacy issues aside, how does a sorta shy, sexually desperate woman find multiple partners to be at her beck and call?? She won't have just anyone. I'm not comfortable at all with the thought of the men she does meet passing her around their pack/friends. Not cool. I wouldn't let it happen to me, so neither will she. But she still needs sex.
Perhaps I need to make her problem a little more solvable?! I mean... I was thinking three to four times a day... That means she needs to have a lunch break sex partner.. or even two during her work day... How could she even manage to work full time?!
Hum.... maybe she learns that if she feeds on dominant weres she doesn't need to feed as often? But I want her to have vamp sex too! hrm... Hrmmm.. Damnit.
See?

Succubus Demons
So... I learned only last night, from my 'I don't watch TV/pay attention to pop culture' (yeah right!) husband, that Showcase's new TV show Lost Girl is about a half breed Succubus! Bah! Now I feel kind of trite... Then, bless him, my husband (I guess I need to come up with a short form for him!) reminded me that there are only so many archetypes/stories & all authors are guilty of re-using characters and stories over and over again throughout history.
So yeah... I think I'll keep my half breed, thank you very much.
Especially since I've spent the better part of yesterday and two hours this morning working out the kinks in her species details! It's very very thorough! Hell, it's 4.5 pages long!!
I totally admit to borrowing/being inspired by Larrissa Ione and her demons, but hell, this is NaNo, I'm not publishing this! And besides, I need all the help/inspiration I can get. I've never attempted anything half so long!
At some point, that likely won't be today, I need to work on my plot again. I want to try the snowflake method my friend minxy whose done NaNo and won 5 years running), pointed me to.
I still don't know know I can actually sum up my work in one sentence. Or even three. This worries me. It tells me there isn't a cohesive enough plot. *sigh*
But right now I'm starving so if I don't eat, nothing else is getting done. Thought processes are all shut down until my belly is full! ha. It's a slave driver my belly.... or a show stopper... yeah, that makes more sense!

Imput? Opinions? HELP?!
So.... After my brilliant idea last night, about making my characters other-worldy, I'm totally torn.
Do I go with the story I started out with, two humans just trying to figure themselves out and find love??
Or do I add the paranormal? Make him a were-rat (he just HAS to be a rat), and her some kind of succubus demon? His being a were would totally explain why he's not living with his fiance, and why after two years he's still not married her... and why he's afraid of becoming a journalist.... It could also add to his dominate nature... he could be an alpha for his pack/Roudere(I might steal this from Anita Blake). Not their king, surely, but an alpha nontheless....
For her..... well if she knew she a succubus demon, then that would be a perfect reason never to get close. I'd have to come up with a...plan for how her type of demon works..... I like the idea of her 'coming of age', or like her having a maturation cycle(s) while she's dating Alejandro.... I am almost wondering if she should be ignorant of what she is... have him tell her... have her freak out and stop seeing him? But WHO would she turn to? And how would that person then not be her love interest??? bah... Complicated!
If she knows what she is, then she can be waiting for her maturation.. it can be like with humans, it comes at a certain point, but never the exact same point... so for her it happens while she's dating A. She's afraid after that to have sex with him too often, she doesn't want to literally love him to death. But she needs sex, like we need food, or she'll die, so she starts fucking around? She pulls aways from A, and begins a slutty adventure of kinky sex? Always looking for the same high she got with A, and not understanding why other men don't give it to her -- she has no idea A isn't exactly human.... Perhaps she can find out his secret all on her own by accidentally finding another were to play with?? hrmm....
Hum.... and can weres and seccubus demons have babies?? Do either of them want to breed? These things usually end in a breeding couple..... Perhaps she's only half demon?? I really need to work/figure/create this out if I want it to you know, acutally make some semblance of sense. Bah! Bah I say!
Do I go with the story I started out with, two humans just trying to figure themselves out and find love??
Or do I add the paranormal? Make him a were-rat (he just HAS to be a rat), and her some kind of succubus demon? His being a were would totally explain why he's not living with his fiance, and why after two years he's still not married her... and why he's afraid of becoming a journalist.... It could also add to his dominate nature... he could be an alpha for his pack/Roudere(I might steal this from Anita Blake). Not their king, surely, but an alpha nontheless....
For her..... well if she knew she a succubus demon, then that would be a perfect reason never to get close. I'd have to come up with a...plan for how her type of demon works..... I like the idea of her 'coming of age', or like her having a maturation cycle(s) while she's dating Alejandro.... I am almost wondering if she should be ignorant of what she is... have him tell her... have her freak out and stop seeing him? But WHO would she turn to? And how would that person then not be her love interest??? bah... Complicated!
If she knows what she is, then she can be waiting for her maturation.. it can be like with humans, it comes at a certain point, but never the exact same point... so for her it happens while she's dating A. She's afraid after that to have sex with him too often, she doesn't want to literally love him to death. But she needs sex, like we need food, or she'll die, so she starts fucking around?

I feel I should apologise...
There is no plan for double penetration vampire sex in my NaNo novel.... unless things go very badly and I start writing out my heroines fantasy's... lol.
However, since that seems to be what gets me these days, I'm just going to have to come up with a story that involves such a threesome. Clearly we need more vampire DP action! I just don't have any vamps in my head right now, none of my own anyway. I'll have to let that percolate....
For now I'm trying to focus on my all too normal romance story. Gods, it really is normal, isn't it? Well, if I can't come up with enough plot then I'll turn Alejandro into a were animal(rat, wolf, kitty cat?) that's trying to hide his true nature from the two women in his life..... Perhaps my heroine can be half succubus demon that comes of age at 25. *giggles* SEX! SEX! SEX Must have sex, or she'll DIE!
See, this is what happens when it's late and I pull shit out of my ass. ;) I may or may not use this... Anything to add plot complexity can't be all bad, can it??

Alejandro
No, I'm not talking Lady Gaga.
Before that song came out, and I admit it, I rather like it, I had a dream about a man named Alejandro. I'm sure it was inspired, in part, by Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake Series... I think I was just reading about the were-rats, when we really get to see them shine.. Rafael is all over Alejandro in a big sexy way.
It was a long dream, but the story was very foggy. The one question I woke up with was, how could my heroine, the woman's whose shoes I was literally wearing, be the mistress of an engaged man, and be okay with it? Screw morality, logically, it's just not sound. If he'll like to the woman he's going to marry, he sure as fuck will lie to the woman he's sleeping around with! Yet someone there was so much peace in her. She'd accepted her place, she just wanted to be near him...
I can't write that. I don't understand it. But I can understand trying to be at peace with it. I can understand 'taking what you can get'. I can understand closing your heart off, being his friend, and fucking his brains out. That I can do. So that's what I think I'm going to write.
I've been looking for a conflict, for something more. Because a good romance always has to have something in the way of the couple. There has to be some kind of problem the two of them have to overcome. Usually it's external, in the books I've read. Like a crazy stalker that wants to kill one of them, or a curse that will kill one of them if they fall in love, or one of them gets kidnapped. Someone needs saving...there is violence to bring them together. I don't have that here. If I wanted to add that...it would go somewhere dark, somewhere I don't think I want this to go. This, sadly, isn't about werewolves, or vampires, or demons. Just about a man who needs to grow up, and a woman trying desperately not to fall in love with the man she wants him to be.
Though... see.. right there. I want this to be from HER point of view. Yet...she doesn't really have any issues of her own. She isn't...interesting enough.. I think perhaps I need to give her general trust issues. Not just with the almost-married man. That would explain why she did so well with him. She was never in danger of loving him. Only when she starts dating and playing with other people does she realise this. It wasn't just him. It was her. She doesn't trust anyone. So even after Alejandro sorts out his own shit he still has to overcome her wall of distrust.....
Is that enough for a romance novel???? I just... I don't know. BAH!
