What me worry? All the time!
But what do I do with that worry that “bumps” me in the middle
of the night? I usually read a ton of books at that wicked worry hour.
My books in good company at Sherman's Books
Obviously, scary stories are out - even in October. As an author, I have many
author friends and I try to support them by reading their books. But scary
books will keep me up at night, even if it’s a romance. Romance has many genre
types from sweet to spicey, and includes the scarier ones, such as romantic
mystery, suspense, paranormal, and thriller. The one requirement for a book to
be classified as a romance is that it has a HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER ending. How the
author reaches that magical ending is an open path.
Still, I do want to read some of those scarier books, only
because I know the words the author writes will inspire me, even if the topic
may alarm me. I still learn. So those books I read during daylight.
The other thing that keeps me awake is what a good writer
friend calls her monkey mind—the one that chatters all night long about every
worry that we try to slough off during the day. And when my worries are buried
all day, so I can actually get other things done—well, you know what happens. I
am usually wide awake with thoughts whirring through my mind. Getting back
to sleep might not happen for hours. Instead, I stare out the window. Or step
to the deck and take photos under the full moon. Or with the streetlight
making its own magical reflections in the rain.

So, when my mind spins in various directions, and refuses to
quiet, no matter how many Belted Galway cows I count, I tend to get up, boot up
the computer, and write. For many of my books, I have added extra chapters
during those post, midnight magical hours.
