Julie Garwood is keeping me from writing.
Okay, I know that sounds odd. I have been feeling a little blocked lately. Not a total block, because I am putting out new pages on a paranormal romance. But when I start to put too much pressure on myself to write, I revert back to being a romance fan.
I picked up a Garwood historical. Her books are sublime. The problem is, most are either in pairs or small series. They’re like Lay’s potato chips — I can’t have just one.
Reading my “keepers” is like coming home after a long vacation. They give me comfort and the kind of happiness only reading can offer. I enjoy some of these stories so much, I find myself reading instead of writing.
So if I don’t finish my paranormal in time for the Golden Heart, it will be all Julie Garwood’s fault.
