HAH!

I have a ton of bad ideas for this novel series. I really, really do. Like, the full extent of my bad ideas are not even comprehensible.The funny thing is that I’ll bounce them off my main cheerleader/current reader and she’ll either trash them or, more often, she’ll encourage me.

And now that I’ve incorporated one specific idea into the story and into a particular character’s love life, my darling friend is cackling and saying I just made perfect fic-bait. That all the growling and attacking will be seen as unresolved sexual tension. And I D: at her. Because, argh. Goddess. That’s…not a ship I wanted to think about. Ever. Really, I don’t. Except now I can’t unsee it.

If I really stopped and thought about how much fic-bait I am inadvertently putting in my novel, I think I’d stop writing. ...of course, then there’s the stuff I’m putting in on purpose, because I know what drives fangirls/boys crazy.
