Drinking: Republic of Tea's Blackberry Sage
Reading: The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
I admit, I seriously thought the first draft of Three's Company would be finished by now. It's only at the halfway point and I officially lost steam one month ago. That's right - one whole month without any real progress. I'm so ashamed! But in my defense, do you realize how difficult it is to write believable poly? I mean, what sixteen year old boy, in his right mind, is willing to share his girlfriend with another boy? Especially if he's not getting threesomes out of it?
And that's something else people don't understand. So far the only advice I've received is "Make him gay!"
-_-
That's not what polygamy is about, people. You're thinking polyamory, where love is shared all around like a circle. This is polygamy - where it is an actual triangle. Or diamond. Or hexagon. Or... you get the picture.
Anyway. This is the week I do my damnedest to get the plot moving again. I've a special tea just for this. Blackberry Sage with just a pinch of sugar swirled in. It's the heavy artillery of liquid muses and has never failed me.
In addition to the tea I'm looking forward to a plotting session with a Romance writer friend tomorrow. She's so good at what she does, I hope to absorb some of her talent by osmosis or something. Fingers crossed!
