Back to Iniquity
Last night I got ‘back in the saddle’ so to speak. Just a few days after finishing my full-length book, I knew I needed to pick a project and dive in. Get my mind on something else. Move forward with more submissions. Forget about beta readers, agent requests, etc.
I opened up my file for my shifter story called SHAKE YOUR MONEYMAKER. I had 6000 words already. Good place to start. And dang if that story isn’t pretty damn good!
I don’t remember it being that fabulous. But there was some good stuff in there. I reworked a little bit of it because the plot had shifted some. But then I added on a good 1500 words last night.
It felt good.
The hardest thing was that I had to leap right into a hot-and-heavy sex scene. But it worked! Smoking hot, I tell you. How nice that my characters obeyed and did what they were told. In a couple different positions. 
One thing I think some epubs want is sex much sooner in the story than maybe I would think necessary. Which is sometimes hard for me. I really enjoy building sexual tension between characters. But I knew if I focused too much on the story and not enough on the romance/sex part, my options for submission would be limited.
You have to think that way when you’re writing to fit a particular publisher’s tastes.
So I let go a little bit and just went for it.
It’s a fun little story about a shifter bank robber in the Arizona town of Iniquity and the unexpected sexy customer he finds inside. Whee!
I would love to just plow through this baby in the next week or so. My goal is 25K. Anything between 20K and 25K would be great. If I do 1500 words a day, it should take 11 days to finish up. Let’s hope I can keep up that pace.
