When Inspiration Strikes and Plot Bunnies Run Amuck

Today I'm here talking about inspiration and plot bunnies. As an author, plot bunnies are always welcome... unless I'm working on a story and it hits me so hard I have to stop what I'm writing and listen to the damn bunny.

This happened to me last week, I was driving in my mini-van and Sweet Dreams by Beyonce came on. The idea for a short, sexy, erotically driven story hit me. When I got home I started outlining my story. 

Here's the video of Sweet Dreams:

Here's a brief summary of Sweet Dreams:

Olivia Clayton is a twenty-seven year old who is married to her job. During the day she slaves away at her desk while she counts down the hours until she can fall asleep once again and be joined in her dreams by her phantom lover Aaron. Every morning she wakes up completely sated from a night of passion that feels so real.

When Olivia's life is in danger will her two worlds collide in time for Aaron to save her?

Inspiration can be anywhere and creep up anytime. Go with it!

See you in two weeks!

Plot Bunnies

I can't make them stop!  They're evil I tell you, EVIL!

I don't know about my fellow Spicy Authors, but ever since I signed my first contract the story ideas haven't stopped flowing. Writing has become my new addiction. I've always been a writer. I'd jot story ideas down, create characters I didn't know what to do with, and I've already discussed in a previous post about all of those voices and conversations clogging up my head. But, now that I'm published, there's a whole new motivation.

I don't have enough hours in the day to put all of these stories to paper. It's crazy. I've got two YA stories thumping around in my head, a sequel planned for my November release The Lonely Dominant, and a contemporary romance involving a recent widower and the sexy college graduate who comes to take care of his children. Not to mention, I'm halfway through my next WIP Passion's Pain. I guess it's true what they say about rabbits...they multiply!

I'm not complaining. I know this isn't a bad thing. But, I have to admit, now that the plot bunnies have taken over my life, the dust bunnies have taken over my house!
