WRITE, WRITE WRITE., MARGARENT TANNER'S GOAL FOR 2015
My resolution for 2015 is to write more. I
know I have said this before, but I feel that I need to up the ante so to speak
and write, write, write.
We had a quiet Christmas, my 2
granddaughters were overseas visiting their other grandmother, so the number
around our Christmas lunch table was only four.
I didn’t even bother to farewell 2014 or herald
the birth of 2015, although illegal fireworks going off in the neighborhood from
dusk until dawn was very annoying. The barking of terrified dogs did not help
either. As I lay in bed, wondering why I bothered to even try to sleep with so
much noise going on, I made my New Year resolution. I was going to be inspired.
To finish my WIP and start on something new. It must have worked as I have just
sent off my latest novel to my editor, the first of several I hope.
So how can I get this elusive inspiration
for my work in progress, or for that matter, all my novels? Fortunately for me,
I write historical romance, so delving into my family tree is a great resource
for me.
Like the heroines in my novels, my
forebears left their native shores in sailing ships to forge a new life in the
untamed frontiers of colonial Australia
I admire heroines who are resourceful, not
afraid to fight for her family and the man she loves. I want my readers to be
cheering for her, willing her to obtain her goals, to overcome the obstacles
put in her way by rugged frontier men who think they only want a wife to beget
sons. A chance for revenge. To consolidate their fortunes. That love is
for fools. Oh, the victory for the
reader when these tough, ruthless men succumb to the heroine’s bravery and
beauty and are prepared to risk all, even their lives, to save her.
This is why I write historical romance, and
will continue to do so in 2015. I hope you will follow me on this journey. My goal is four novels/novellas, but if I get
sufficiently inspired, maybe five.
Dangerous Birthright will be my first novel
for 2015. It is the sequel to Falsely Accused. Both books are published by Books We
Love.
DANGEROUS BIRTHRIGHT: The sequel to Falsely Accused - Due out February/March 2015.
Can an English
aristocrat go against society and marry the daughter of convicts?

Good for you, Margaret!
I can't imagine you won't meet your goals. Do you break it down to words per day or hours at the computer or days per week of writing?
Wishing you much success on your 2015 Inspired Goals! (Sleepless nights are sometimes a blessing!)
I really like your covers also!
Congratulations on completing Dangerous Birthright! Writing more is certainly a worthy goal, and one you are on track to accomplish.
