This evening I was attempting to write a short story when an idea for another novel hit me.
You see, I have been contemplating trying to find a way to make a kind of series out of the I Killed Them, Mama idea. Not using any of the same people, but going with the concept of young women having to poison their way out of bad situations.
Well, I guess leaving the thinking to my subconscious paid off. Tonight I figured out how to tie all the future titles together.
I Killed Them, Mama, meet Saving Mama’s Flower Garden.
This one is also going to pick right up after a mother’s death and follow the oldest daughter as she deals with an unsavory guardian to protect herself and her younger sisters from a terrible fate. With the help of a couple of girl friends, of course.
I don’t want to say too much right now, so much of the plot is still up in the air.
It’s just really cool that now I not only have the need of income and the want of you guys to read I Killed Them, Mama pulling me forward through the writing process. Now I will have this new book pushing from the back of my mind, urging my to write faster so I can get to it ASAP.
So Excited!!! 😀

This is me with my book projects when I lose self-control (and perspective on the long-term plan)

Lots of running around, with nothing productive to show for it.

I must stick with I Killed Them, Mama! When that’s done with the first draft then I can take a few days to let it sit and work on a loose outline for Saving Mama’s Flower Garden.
Totally can’t wait. 😀

Woohoo! Series are where the real money (and fun) is.

That’s what I’ve been hearing. I want it to turn into a series for the money end of it, and… yeah, I’ve kind of had a bit of a macabre interest in difficult to trace poisons. Might as well turn a slight curiosity into a money maker, right?
Especially when writing it is just so much fun! 😀
