 This week, Susan Scott Shelley has set us a fun topic: You've been gifted with a super power. Which would you choose? Why? If you’ve joined me from the awesome Victoria Barbour, welcome! Okay – super powers – what would I pick? I’m going to be sneaky and pick two – one for day to day and one for writing. For my day to day super power, I want to be able to clean my house by looking at it. Just imagine – I’m sitting at my desk, working away at my next great novel, and I spy a speck of dust. With one blink (or maybe a wiggle of my nose, like a certain genie) it vanishes. Yes!
The thing with cleaning is that I love having a clean house – I just don’t want to have to work to get it. There are so many other things I’d rather be doing than sweeping, vacuuming or dusting. I’d a tidy person, in the sense that I don’t like clutter. Everything has its place – it’s just covered in dust. For my writing super power, I want to be Perfect Plotter-Woman! I’m in the midst of planning my next manuscript, so I’ve got a spreadsheet going with each scene listed. The thing is, I have great ideas, at least initially. But then I start thinking things like “wait, does that even make sense?” or “why the heck would they do that?” Because I am a plotter by nature, I can’t just shrug off those questions. I need to know where my story is ending before I begin, but it is just so hard! What super power does historical romance author Kate Robbins wish she had? Click here to find out!

It gives me an illusion of control, Raine, even if it isn't real control. :)

To be honest, I think I want the cleaning one more than the plotting one... Leave a Reply. |
