Writing a Novel Series? Be Sure to Keep Notes!

As a newbie Indy Writer there are many things I hadn't taken stock of as I began writing Peaches and the Gambler, the first novel in the Peaches Donnelly Mystery Series.

What am I speaking of exactly? Writing notes!

When beginning any novel series, as you go along it is essential that you keep good notes on what happened in previous book(s). I learned this the hard way. I had to go back and write no Read more of this blog post »

“Hell, I’m practically an escort for my rich doctor clients. They call and I come running whispering sweet nothings in their ears and whipping out some of the best drugs money can buy. Matter of fact, we just got some meds in that makes Viagra look like chewable kiddie vitamins. One of my doctors told me when he came it was so good, he blacked out temporarily. Me and my boy toy are trying that one out tonight.”
A.T. Hicks, Peaches and the Gambler

“Peaches found herself wondering if Mary, a tiny brunette with an unprepossessing manner and less than ‘stellar’ work ethics, had to play Where’s Waldo to find Steve’s dick beneath his gigantic waistline.”
A.T. Hicks, Peaches and the Gambler

“She had hit rock-bottom. She had given a blow job to a man who for all intents and purposes, was a bum. He had smelled so bad, she forced him to spray on some of the perfume she always carried in her purse. Her favorite perfume. After tonight, she was quitting. Yeah, she’d have to go back home with her two kids, grovel to her mama and work a dead-end job, but anything was better than getting down on your knees to give a guy as disgusting as Lenny a one-off.”
A.T. Hicks, Peaches and the Gambler

“When you lose someone, you get used to living day to day without them. But you’ll never get used to the “10 second heartbreak.” That’s the time it takes to wake to full consciousness each day and remember…”
Nina Guilbeau

“Everyone keeps telling me that time heals all wounds, but no one can tell me what I’m supposed to do right now. Right now I can’t sleep. It’s right now that I can’t eat. Right now I still hear his voice and sense his presence even though I know he’s not here. Right now all I seem to do is cry. I know all about time and wounds healing, but even if I had all the time in the world, I still don’t know what to do with all this hurt right now.”
Nina Guilbeau, Too Many Sisters

“Even when we do not actively participate in our destiny, we are still on a chosen path. Life has a way of making decisions for us.”
Nina Guilbeau
