Being a writer who has a day job to pay the bills causes some things to fall to the side. Although I’ve neglected this website, I’ve not neglected my writing. In fact, it’s been moving better than in a while.
About 40k into a historical novel that I was writing, an old character that I’d created for a short story kept nagging at the edges of my brain. I kept pushing him back, trying to stay focused on the novel in progress. But he refused to be put in the corner. So, I did the I’ll advised move of jumping to a new project.
Why not? There was a lot of potential energy there.
Last month, I finished that new book. Now, it sits with my agent, awaiting it’s turn for her reading. Meanwhile, I’ve started on book two of the new series. The enthusiasm for this character hasn’t dimmed one bit. Instead, it’s grown stronger.
So, what am I doing back on the website? Well, I’m early to a Bollywood party. Luckily, there’s a Starbucks to duck into for about an hour. Since I didn’t have a book and my book two is just in the outlining phase, it seemed like a good time to get this page back on track.
Oh, by the way, I’ve started posting on TikTok. If you’re on that crazy app, stop by and see me. I’m at @jensenjames06 .
Thanks for reading. Take second and say hello.
