Michael, I don't know what t...Thanks, Melanie!<br /><br />Michael, I don't know what that is. I think a trip to your blog is in order!<br /><br />Debra, I hear you on internet withdrawals. It's been spring break at our house and my computer time has been severely limited!<br /><br />Jon, that's what I'm afraid of is that I'll just keep coming up with ideas. I need to buckle down. *sigh*<br /><br />Rebecca, you're doing so good! Congrats.<br /><br />T, isn't it funny how research really can kill an idea. Good luck with yours!Julie Coulter Bellonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695605817809301518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421706587311875668.post-71905495168162389972012-04-12T09:35:20.567-06:002012-04-12T09:35:20.567-06:00I have a shiny new idea, too, and even a pretty go...I have a shiny new idea, too, and even a pretty good outline for it. I feel like I need to do more research before writing, though. Hopefully the idea will survive the research!~T~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17969562036638831748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421706587311875668.post-5764033178773291002012-04-11T19:30:10.383-06:002012-04-11T19:30:10.383-06:00Sounds like everyone's getting good ideas.

Personally, I have 2 manuscripts in the works (completely different genres, audiences) and 2 more in the dream-idea state as future projects. If I get frustrated with one, I can always switch gears and work on another. <br /><br />Hypothetically speaking, of course. I haven't actually written anything on any of them in over 6 months. (I can still think about them, though, and come up with ideas.)Jon Spellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283068961865370674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421706587311875668.post-30893942677901915622012-04-11T12:28:30.890-06:002012-04-11T12:28:30.890-06:00I haven't written anything on my "bright ...I haven't written anything on my "bright and shiny" new story I've started outlining. And I didn't put away my finished manuscript for two weeks, either. Instead, I gave it to two (non-writing) readers willing to give me their critiques. One is a school teacher and dear old friend whose opinion I respect immensely, and another is a woman who was outed by Jolene Perry as someone who devours words as fast as I eat chocolate. I see this being ready to query within the next two weeks. (fingers crossed) <br /><br />I don't see my word count next week being any better. I'm going to an out-of-town wedding tomorrow and won't be able to get to my computer through the weekend. Sigh. . .I'm going to have internet withdrawals, I just know it. <br /><br />So . . . this week I haven't written anything but emails and blog posts. If you count those, Julie, then your word count is much, much higher!Debra Erferthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239033133090036826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421706587311875668.post-71842843796525814852012-04-11T10:33:15.632-06:002012-04-11T10:33:15.632-06:00I haven't written anything.

I haven't come up with a plot yet, but I'm encouraged that my mind is working again, even if it is stiff with rust. :-)<br /><br />Good luck on becoming motivated to finish your older project, and good luck on the new one, too!Melanie Goldmundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270135660110676225noreply@blogger.com
