Working Monday
Happy…er… Monday?
Well, it's a glorious day even if it is Monday. And it's a working Monday, the day I do general plotting for my stories and books.
But I just got
my author copy of Magical Mayhem (paperback) and that's pretty good for a squee moment. There are some terrific authors in this anthology and some terrific YA stories. I enjoyed this so much that I'm actually
writing another story for the next anthology, Love Stinks.
I had a bit of difficulty coming up with the plot for Midnight Prom (tentative title) and during
a convo with my VBFF, I admitted that I'd probably fall back on my YA days. I
was pretty sure that I could come up with something that fit the anthologies
theme - Love Stinks. Well, VBFF started talking about her prom and things just
started clicking. I made a couple of notes and sent them to myself on my phone
(got to love these gadgets!) and when I got home, I started writing the story
of a late bloomer shapeshifter and her prom night. (No, VBFF is NOT a
shapeshifter, lol).
This isn't a whole lot different in plotting terms than some
of my other projects. One story was inspired by a NASA news article I'd seen
about binary stars. Another was inspired by a dream about dust bunnies (my
inner Sally Homemaker was probably trying to convince me to get busy, lol).
A
sexy male photo inspired Heartstone (available in print or Ecopy). A conglomeration of things inspired Altered Destiny (Kindle) (I won't detail all of them because I'd take the whole page to do it
but I did huge amounts of research on Scots to write Altered Destiny (Nook) and that was lots of
fun!). My book, Rider (still looking for a publisher), was inspired by a TV commercial
but, of course, I took it three steps sideways and two steps forward.
Heart of a Dragon, my short story in Magical Mayhem, (Kindle) was
inspired by my love of dragons and the clothing of a young girl I'd seen at the
mall (always looking for things I can write about of use as details, lol).
I'm not sure how other authors come up with plot ideas but I
sometimes worry that I'm a bit…er…out there, lol.
Wookie, my alien kitten, tells me I haven't offered a copy of Altered Destiny here for a while. The first two persons who send me an email (Lynda@lyndakscott.com) with Altered Destiny in the subject line will get a pdf copy.
Have a Blessed Day!

I've dubbed Mondays "Media Mondays." It's when I do one of my blogs and make sure I've caught up on my other media stuff. Though this morning I was able to get some plotting in as well.
Oh, heck, that's a good name for Mondays too (I may have to steal it). I do a lot of media work on Mondays as well as the plotting to start the week's writing projects.
Isn't it amazing how we all work?
Thanks for stopping by!
I couldn't resist checking out a blog on which you talk to...yourself. The cover of Magical Mayhem is gorgeous!
LOL, Ally, you know what they say about talking to yourself ;-) Thanks for stopping by!
