I finished the the opening scene yesterday. Now I know the changes I need to revise it and build from there. It was one of those mornings when I was able to wake up at 5 am and get a lot done.

Today was not one of those days. I woke up way late and haven’t begun, yet, but I wanted to post progress for yesterday’s work.

Oh, and last night? We watched War of the Roses, On Demand. I love the free movies. Many of which I’d forgotten were ever made, or never had a chance to watch. Craig had no interest in War of the Roses for a long time, but I tell you what. Just watching it he laughed so hard seeing some of the things Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas did to each other.

Kathleen Turner is one of the most beautiful actresses I’ve ever seen. And Miracle Child has developed an interesting fondness in Michael since I showed her Romancing the Stone. She thinks he’s hot. lol Him and Bruce Willis. I can’t disagree about Bruce. I think bald is beautiful. lol

Another beautiful actress is Michelle Pfeifer. And her handsome hero, Jack Nicholson, in Wolf. I’d never seen it before, but it was great to see a werewolf film done so well. And the insights to publishing…well. True or not, that was cool. I wish I was a “cool” looking author like Maude. Dressed in black and silver with hair to match. Wow. lol

All in all, not a bad day. Which is so good. It was Miracle Child’s 3 yr anniv since her last chemo treatment. I know, how cruel to do that on April Fool’s Day, but in all honesty, most holidays have a whole new meaning now.

Danni, please email me at jlh@jamieleighhansen.com so I can send you your free book.

Have a great day!

Wish me luck. I’m jumping further into book 3. Book 2 has been retitled Cursed. It’s about Alex and his high school sweetheart, who’s a bit more than the girl next door.

I’ve been awaiting revisions on Cursed and reading The Anatomy of Story by John Truby while letting book 3 bloom in my mind. It’s titled in the same vein as the other two: Damned. I’ve had so much fun with that. My writing plan is The Damned Plan. I refer to it as that Damned book. It makes me giggle.

I’m starting fresh. Lots of notes written on a story that’s been in my head a good long while, but only the first 750 words are written. It feels good.
