On another much more interesting note, I kind of have this idea for a series of detective/crime drama/mystery novels. I know, I know, everyone wants to try to write about a detective that the world falls in love with and people send you millions of fan letters begging you to write yet another adventure with this character... but this feels different to me. When I had the idea for the original story (which I'm cautiously calling "Fragments") I never thought that it could turn into a series, especially not a detective series. Of course, that was before I started having dreams almost every night featuring the main character.
Now, you could just say that I've been watching too much "Criminal Minds" and "CSI" which is very possible, but I just don't think that is the case. I've been trying to find the right niche for myself for awhile now and I'm beginning to think that this is finally it. I've been interested in learning about serial killers and mysteries since my senior year in high school and lately it seems like I've been drawn to the "crime drama" genre quite a bit. I guess it will all depend on how the first two books in the series go, but I'm very hopeful.

P.S. By bringing up the detective series I'm not trying to say that I won't finish "Eyes on Fire." I am. That is all.
I'm glad to hear you're getting time to write and that you and Jon are writing so well together!
ReplyDeleteI've never been one for crime dramas or detective stories...but I know writing them is quite an undertaking.
I hope things continue to go well for you on the writing front.
