We have lift off. My blank screen is no longer blank. The story of Vidal and Elena is about to be told. I know it will take me some time to get into it as I’ve had a longer break than normal between books, but I’m feeling quietly excited about this new story. There’s going to be an aristocratic feel about it as both hero and heroine move in high circles – something I’ve not tackled before, at least not from the heroine’s pov. I don’t have any photographs of my characters yet, but when and if I do I’ll be sure to post them.

Waiting
I’m running another idea by my editor so while I’m waiting I thought I’d share this. It’s from the instruction leaflet that came with a tube of gel prescribed by my doctor.
Remove the tube from the carton and unscrew the cap… Then it goes on to tell you how to apply the gel, finishing with: Replace the cap on the tube and return the tube to the carton.
I didn’t know whether to laugh or feel insulted. Who writes this stuff?
Synopsis
The waiting is over and it was not good news. My ed had grave reservations about my synopsis – so it’s back to the drawing board. We talked over some ideas and I’m going to spend the weekend fleshing them out and hopefully get back to her early next week. I suppose the fact that the story had gone no further in my mind during the waiting period should have told me that it wasn’t a brilliant idea in the first place. Nevertheless it’s disappointing.
