So I've commented before that a lot of my books don't necessarily have a whole soundtrack, but just one song. Meljean's made a great post about this at Odd Shots, too.

(btw, if you haven't entered my contest, it ends Thursday. you can win free books!)

I started working on a new project the other day. Just for me. Just to ease a little bit of the creativity bulging in my brain. If I work on 'work' stuff for too long (and I love my Succubus and Dating Agency books, but they've turned from 'secret project' to 'work' now that they're contracted), my brain starts hissing and spitting like a cornered cat. The only cure for this? More cowbell! A project just for me!

I won't tell you what it's about, because when it's in the burgeoning stages, I can't discuss it publicly. It drives me insane. Because until I write "THE END", shit's gonna change. I could say it's about a panther-shifter, and then change it to a cougar-shifter on page 200 (like I did with HEAT). Names could change mid-stream. Alarming things of that nature. But I will tell you I'm in love with the phrase from a Selena Gomez song (I know, I know, I know...) -- You are the thunder, and I am the lightning.

Perfect.

Oh sure, she looks 14 if she's a day, but I'm more interested in the song than the video. Mom and Dad, you might like this one. (Also a note to Mom and Dad, avoid the new Gaga video. I like it, but I don't think you'll like it. Fair warning. She crazy.)

This book is also a bit of a stretch for me because it's in alternating 3rd person POV. I joked to poor Meljean earlier today that it's awkward switching to the hero's head for me. It reads something like this:

Heroine: Oh my. What just happened? Where did everyone go?
Hero: YOU PRETTY.
Heroine: Um, that's very nice I think, but I'm curious to know what is going on.
Hero: YOU MINE. ALL MINE.
Heroine: Oh dear. I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding--
Hero: HULK SMASH.

Okay, not really. It's actually not that bad now that I've slept on it and re-read! But once I get about 50 pages down, I'm probably going to have to send to my sister to see if it's horrible or salvageable. We shall see.
