Galloping, Galloping... Gone

So this week has gone fairly well. The Meat Grinder completed it's job on Noble Blood late this week and now I'm waiting to hear back from my beta readers. I also started work on Hecate's Own, book 2 of Heart's Desire. I wrote the outline, figured out major plot points, and put fingers to keyboard for almost three thousand words.

Only to watch in horror as my characters decided to pick up the story at Outline Point Three rather than One. Argh. Why do they do this to me? I can almost hear the neener neener neener as they run off into the bushes. Cheeky little devils.

Oh well. I like the beginning, so I'm sticking with what they gave me. I'll decide once the entire thing is done if it needs to be changed, but starting the story has never really been a problem (with a few notable exceptions). Endings, on the other hand, tend to give me serious grief, so we'll have to see how this one goes.

In the meantime, I've posted all my novels at the Open Mike at CoffeeTime Romance Forums! If you're looking for a good read head on over there. A LOT of authors will be posting today!
