I'd Forgotten about Myself

Last Friday I did my first day of training for a waitress position. It's been eight years since I last waitressed, but on Friday I remembered something about myself. I like it. I like serving people their food, getting drinks, writing down orders, bustling around and being busy. It made me think of my characters and of the careers I give them. Remembering also made me think about the different types of personalities and how funny that I, someone who doesn't necessarily seek out social situations, like waitressing. What kind of job do you have right now? Do you like it? What does your main character do and what does that job say about your MC's personality?

Percolating

You may have noticed my word counter hasn't moved. That's because I'm percolating. Remember Bad Boy's Redemption? It got rejected, but no worries, I'm looking forward to sharing what I've learned from that. Now I'm thinking about where I should go from here. Should I keep targeting Love Inspired? Or should I go Single Title? And so I percolate. Have you ever needed to reconsider your goals? Do you jump right into a new direction? Or do you have to sit on your feelings for awhile?
