Urgh. I am trying to finish up my coyote shifter story, but it seems to want to move along a little too quickly. Not enough *realistic* emotions between the hero and heroine. This is what I get for having an outline.

It gives me such a clear picture of where I’m going, I rush it. An outline only gives me the bare minimum when it comes to character. The outline really helps me more with the plot. I do stick some stuff in there…but when you have two words in an outline to describe the heroine’s emotional journey in one chapter it doesn’t translate well to paper.

Whoops.

The good news is that I’m two chapters from the end of this thing. The bad news is I will have to go back and layer more stuff in there to really make it sing.

I have a couple of pubs in mind for this story. I know one will be a challenge…I can’t tie it all up neatly and just finish. It needs to shine.

As my other edits are starting to bear down on me, it’s very important that I finish at least the DRAFT of this story. I’ve got a couple of days. That’s a chapter a day. I can do it!
