I think I wrote the beginning of the next Anita Blake novel today. I didn't mean to, I just had that jittery feeling that I get sometimes when an idea is ready to burst out and become real. I honestly thought it would be a different idea, but I've had it happen before that at the end of one book in a series the next is loud in my head. It's not ready to be written by any means, but it's ready to be begun. I already did five pages on a brand new character that will be in the next book, but that was cut from Affliction. Today I sat down and did thirteen pages of what seems to be the beginning of another Anita novel. Now, will it be the next one, or a different one? I have openings of twenty, thirty pages, that have either never been used, or have been cut up and used in different books, but it had been a few years since I'd been moved to write so spontaneously and quickly on the same series when I'd just finished a book in that series. It felt great and it's a fun scene. I'll put it away for a few days while I finish up Italian interviews, and other business stuff. Once the new scene has cooled off some I'll see if it is really the beginning of a new book, or if it's just a fun and interesting scene I had to write in order to make room in the creative pipeline.

Date: 2013-03-01 11:59 pm (UTC)No idea if a Merry Book is specifially stated to be produced in this contract...if so she has one book left and it might have to BE Merry. If it's for either series...safe bet is Anita.
