Chicks-n-Scratching

I’m kind of cheating. Because I, too, have a release this week.

Trusting Destiny released yesterday – you can get it here. It’s a contemporary novella:

Maggie Cassavetti is searching for answers, and Dr. Eric Larsen is the man to help her find them.  Her mother believed that the heirloom pendant helped its wearer find true love, but Maggie doesn’t buy it.  What interests her is the history – the topaz is supposed to be a Biblical artifact, and the antique family Bible hints at extreme age.  But meeting Eric changes things.  The attraction that flares between them is hotter, faster, more intense than she could possibly anticipate.  Was it simple chemistry?  Or was it something more?  As Maggie and Eric work together to uncover the history behind the family lore, Maggie begins to believe that there may be something to the power of the stone:  something that she won’t soon let go.

Now for the WTF part. No, really, I may have cheated a smidge, but not that much.

Last week I told you about my horrible klutziness recently. This week I’m going to let you in on a little secret: I’m having trouble finishing the WIP.

I like the WIP. I like it a lot. I love the heroine, I love the heroes (yes, plural – it’s a menage). I like the story.

I have two scenes to finish. Two. Both are…sexy. So here’s the problem: snow days. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to write hot, steamy menage sexxoring when your 5yo Munchkin is home?

Between the Spongebob computer games going on at the next computer, the threat of her coming to read over my shoulder, the demands for getting this thing or that thing, my being on crutches, and her requiring some level of interaction for the day…. well, let’s just say it makes it hard to get in the mood.

As an added complication (and here’s really where the WTF comes in – I mean aside from the school board canceling school on Monday, when it was beautifully clear and the roads were dry and clean, but waiting until the very last second (seriously – after 8am) to cancel today when there’s 2 inches of snow on the ground and you can’t see 100 feet – i mean, WTF?) is that my friends think this is hysterical. They have suggested I incorporate Spongebob into the menage. Or write Patrick/Spongebob slash (is writing it that way redundant?). If anything is guaranteed to throw me out of the mood for writing sexy, it’s the visual of Patrick/Spongebob. I know – I’m sure – there is already Patrick/Spongebob slash. There has to be – it’s the internet, after all. But … W.T.F. *shudder*

So… how do I cleanse my brain of Spongebob? Argh!
