Well, the theme for this mid-summer night is writing! It’s not that I haven’t been writing, I have, but just barely. There are just so many fun things to do when the weather is nice. I’ve been kayaking, hiking, and watering, and watering, and watering, my plants. I literally have 3 planters to water, you wouldn’t think it would take any time, but we just can’t seem to get any rain in our neck of the woods.
Putting together the outline of a book is always the slowest part for me. I usually have a grand/broad idea of what’s going to happen but of course, that skeleton of an idea needs some flesh on its bones. Then it’s time to research. Then more research. Then, research some more. I just finished the last bullet point in my outline, so now the fun part can begin. I can actually start writing what everyone is going to do and say.
I think Hoax for the Holidays will be satisfying for anyone who has come to love Vivi and the gang and will launch Vivi into a new chapter (ha ha) of her life as well. The plan is for this Christmas edition to go live by mid-Autumn. I know you’ll enjoy a romp through the snow with Vivi, Hitch, Ezzie, Mavis, and the other characters.
So pray for rain, we need it. And it keeps me inside writing.
