I wasn't experienceing writers block exactly. I was just having a lack of enthusiasm for what I was writing. So I decided to think up ten reasons why I love my book and see if it got me back to writing. And you know what? It worked! So here's the top ten reasons I'm writing my WIP again:
1)Brooding hero
2)Heroine's nine older brothers
3) Crazy uncle
4)Friends
5)The black moment
6)First kiss in the moonlight
7)Prunella and John
8)The heroine's nine older brothers
9)The Lady of the Lake
10)Bath(place or thing? You decide)
11)The heroine's nine older brothers!!!(This one just sort of crept up on me.lol)
So, this week ,tell me ,what are the top ten things that make your WIP rock?
What you write just might surprise you.

How fun that was. I am at the point where I am heartily sick of them and want to move on to the next story-so thank you for making me think of what I love about it.
I'm happy to remind you of what you love about your story, Terry!
This has been a fun post to do. Finding out the deatials of other people's stories and shamelessly putting mine out there.lol. Mattie Sinclair, now that is a name I love. Your story sounds like a western. Is it? I so love westerns. They're my favorite type of romance novels, but I can rarely find them anywhere. And congrats on being almost done with revisions!!! I'm almost to revisions, again... It seems like each time I rewrite I just need to revise again. But this time should be my second to last round of revisions and my very last rewrite. YAY!
Also, I'm looking forward to the measuring for pants scene. The possibilities there are endless.
deatials=details
Gosh, it is way too early in the morning.lol.
Good question. I love this.

2.) Liv's snarky inner dialogue
3.) Liv's snarky outer dialogue
