I thought I would spice up this summer’s blogging with older posts from my previous blog (which you can still find at lianabrooks.blogspot.com). And then I read through.
It was like the archaeology of my career digging through those old posts. Updates on the first draft of EVEN VILLAINS FALL IN LOVE. The frustration of THE DAY BEFORE (back when it was JANE DOE) and querying and trying to make this whole writing thing happen. Shiny ideas were still distracting. I always leave the ending off my books in the first draft (and the 2nd, and the 3rd). I’ve always blogged in a less-than-professional=let’s-be-besties sort of way that assumes you’re not only a regular reader but that you stalk me on every other form of social media too. If you’re ever terribly bored, feel free to go digging in that put. But be prepared for baby pictures and references to many dead projects.
My past is littered with the novels I never wrote because a better idea came along.
This means I probably won’t find anything super fun to put on the blog during summer hours (which start in mid-May when the kids leave school and life as we know it ends).
But I’ll find something for you. Because you deserve something to keep you busy between now and when DECOHERENCE comes out in September. If you have any special requests… put them in the comments!
