Story ideas I have a plethora of. I can work out a story in my head and tinker with it until I am happy with it and then file it away until I need to write something.<\/p>\n
I can do really good loglines and have written the TV guide equivalent for book catalogues and the like. I even did some under the table for people at Ballantine because I was that good at it. <\/p>\n
But that\u2019s the easy part for me. <\/p>\n
The hard part is actually writing the story out of my head and onto paper or electrons or whatever. <\/p>\n
I can do it. I have done it. I have been published.<\/p>\n
Right now I am working on a Captain Nemo novel that takes place shortly after the events of 20,000 leagues under the sea. I have scrapped most of my manuscript twice now because I don\u2019t like what I am writing. Again I have the idea and the outline but now I need to expand to a point where people will be satisfied with the final product.<\/p>\n
I also have agreed to a short story in an anthology that I have given the logline for to the editor. They love it and have given the go ahead to write the story. I have an idea where it is going to go but I also have to do some serious research to make sure that I am \u201cauthentic\u201d in what I am going to be writing even though I am in the realm of the historically inaccurate. <\/p>\n
There are a couple of other projects I am noodling on as well. <\/p>\n
Again all well and good but not the final product that I need to produce.<\/p>\n
So I guess I\u2019ll do what I have done before which is write my way to that one scene I have so clearing in my head and then write to the next one.<\/p>\n
I am grateful for an ability to write well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
