It's the start of another week. Try as we might, Mondays just keep coming around. Hopefully you had a great weekend.
The last couple of weeks have been songs that just get me moving. I finished one WIP (work in progress) and after a few rounds of edits based on beta feedback, it's now in the hands of my editor. What's the best way to not worry about getting back the editorial letter? Work on a new project.
One of the manuscripts that I have out on query is a short novella written for a particular publisher's line of shorts. To keep my mind off the waiting I came up with two other stories that could connect to the first one, but still act as a standalone. New story means new playlist.
This story will be a first for me as it'll be my first same sex pairing. Because I like to try new things with my writing, and truly believe love is love between consenting humans, I took a look at the tropes this line wanted to see in this series and figured out how I wanted this to work.
M/M is what most people (in what I see on Twitter) seem to flock to. There have been discussion in some circles about how F/F is overlooked or not as desirable for a myriad of reasons. I'm of the camp, the ladies need love and their HEA just as much. When I picked out the trope of best friend's sibling, and made the determination to do same sex, F/F was my instant choice.
The first 'mood' song that came to mind when I started trying to build a playlist was "I Kissed A Girl" because, well I'm gonna have kissing girls. It's an older song, and I think one of Katy Perry's first (I'm no music history buff), but it's fun and probably a little tongue and cheek. But I want the story to be fun, and sexy, and light so it fits.
Hope you like it.
Until next time,
