Screenplays must surely be a close cousin of the novel, so that's definitely forgivable. <br />I'm loving these stories of creative people spreading their wings. Roz Morris aka @Roz_Morris .

My first two books are contracted and, mercifully, written. A third is with my agent. I have no deadline. And I'm feeling pulled toward screenplays. I'm planning to write the first draft of my first screenplay during National Novel Writing Month. A pace of four pages a day should keep me on track. I've no clue what to do with it afterward, but I think it will be a useful exercise and distraction all the same.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09827047315895632135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407679229975998493.post-80127557491951896192017-10-25T02:05:11.060-06:002017-10-25T02:05:11.060-06:00Hi Lisa - yes, inspiration is waiting everywhere t...Hi Lisa - yes, inspiration is waiting everywhere to trap the person who should be busy!

I've been doing a lot of editing this past year and, while editing has its creative side (I do a lot of developmental editing), I imagining what I would do with my clients book concepts if I were writing them myself and decided I needed to make time for a project of my own. <br /><br />Right now I have one distraction project I'm just about to finish, and another I'm about to begin -- both intended for publication, but not "real novels," just things to entertain the creative brain until I find the time and mindset to return to the two novels I currently have in development.Lisa Nicholas, Ph.
