That's the truth. I just haven’t felt like it. There’s a reason, that I don’t want to write about, only because it’ll make me think about it, and I don’t want to think about it. But, rest assured it isn’t that big of a deal, and I’ll get over it.
I just spent a couple of hours with someone who finished reading And Then You Dance last night, knowing she was going to see me today. She told me how much she loved it, said (actually) that she loved everything about it. Which is very high praise. We went on to talk about the characters in the book, and she asked me lots of questions about what was happening in book three.
And then, she asked me about the characters from book one and book two, about what was happening with them. That’s a little tricky. They aren’t main characters in book three, so I haven’t thought that much about what might happen with them. It made me realize, though, that readers care. Even if it’s just a little bit weaved into the story, a paragragh or two . . . I can do that.
The conversation made me want to write. Not sure if it’s quite enough to actually make me sit down and do it, but it might be. Whenever I have these kinds of conversations it reminds me how much I love these characters, this series, and how much my readers do too. What could be better inspiration?
