Saturday Chit-Chat for January 6th!
What is the New Year’s Resolution made by the hero or heroine of your work in progress?
LK: My heroine is resolving to demand more time to be herself–to indulge the bad girl within rather than being the good girl “baker” her family needs her to be for the family business. So she’s going to work really hard to make a success of her new career as a stripper!
JEL: Wow…great question. I would think the heroine of the book I’m writing, Regina, a high-powered witch who has lost her powers because she’s denying what is in her heart–love for the man who tried to kill her–would resolve to be a better judge of character and not let her libido get in the way of her good judgment…although, the way the story is progressing, her libido is going to lead her to better judgment. Isn’t that the way it should work?
CP: My heroine is starting a new career at the Hot Zone PR firm and she’s resolving to make her uncle and the Jordan sisters who hired her proud. She doesn’t want her bad behavior/family tendencies to get in the way, so she’s resolved to steer clear of the one man who can cause her trouble. John Roper isn’t a guy to be denied what he wants however and he wants Amy. And inside her heart, Amy wants him too. And her character really is more like her quirky mother and aunt (who always get into trouble at their retirement home by indulging in whims like skinny dipping). So really, does Amy have a shot at being the good girl? Naah …
JD: I’m finishing up TOO WILDE TO TAME (out September 2007), and my hero, Joel, has more of a resolution than my heroine. For Joel, he’s resolving to believe in himself and the possibility of a future with the heroine. To allow himself to feel needed, to accept and embrace the feeling, when he’s always been the one on the outside looking in. In other words, he’s a guy and he needs to get in touch with his emotions! 
HURRY CARLY HURRY!! WRITE FASTER!!
And don’t get me wrong, the other books sound good too (a stripper??).
For god’s sake, everyone just hurry up and write!!

Julie, I love the plot for the story you are working on. I enjoy books about witches and magical things. Plus, the heroine and I share the same first name of Regina.
Janelle, I always love a guy that can come to terms with his emotions.
Carly, you need to go into business naming businesses.You always have the cutest names in your stories. :thumbsup2:
And Leslie what can I say but you have a way of always writing an sinfully entertaing book.
Bless you ladies for having the talent for entertaing and carrying us away in our dreams.:doggie::doggie::doggie::doggie::doggie::doggie:

Carly, Roper and Amy’s story sounds like a lot of fun. I love the relatives
in those “HOT”stories. They are wonderful reads.:love2:
Janelle Oh how I love the “Wilde” rides you give us. I am positive that the
way Joel gets in touch with his emotions is going to be full of possibilities
and make an exciting read.

Sounds like some real neat and exciting stories coming, with strong heroes and herioines, but then what else could we get from the PlotMonkeys except great stories …………

From the sounds of those “resoultions” & the stories we are in for some good reading! Of course, what else would the Plotmonkeys give us!
Happy Saturday everyone. Have a great weekend.
