Have you read the most recent Brava historical anthology Strangers in the Night? There’s a story in it, Fool Me Once by Katherine O’Neal, set in 1933. The time period just captured me. What a fabulous idea! And the characters, two cons setting up the greatest take of their lives. I can totally picture it in my mind like a great old time movie.
I don’t think I’ll ever write a historical from that time period, but then again, why not? The idea is too cool for words. And I’ve been thinking of a lot of new ideas the last couple of days, which is such a relief because I’d begun to think I’d run out of them.
Does this happen to other writer’s? Most writers say they have more ideas than they know what to do with and I’ve always had that problem until recently. Maybe it’s the deadline or shock or whatever. In any case I’m grateful to be thinking of ideas again. Ohhhh… and I’ve got one really calling to me right now. I have the hero and his predicament already in mind. Still have to conceive of his heroine and her issues. But he alone is going to be so much fun. 
What a great time period. And for me I have two series I’m plotting, one is popping and I have great ideas for it and the other is just plan out old stagnate. I’m thinking I need a brainstorming session to get the creative juices flowing on it.
It comes and goes. Sometimes I struggle for ideas…usually when I ‘m starting a new project. But when I’m into one, other ideas are always popping up and distracting me.
This happens to me all the time. I’m NOT one of those writers with a hundred stories floating in my mind. It really scares me when I try to think about contemporary stories. I truly draw a blank, which is beyond frightening. I seem to keep coming up with paranormal ideas though, even if they don’t all seem to be romances.:grin:
I don’t want any more romance ideas. I have well over 100, and I have a feelig I won’t be writing 100 romances in my lifetime. *g*
