It&#8217;s been such a fun book to write, and it&#8217;s one I&#8217;ve had in my head for years, so it&#8217;s fun to finally see it coming to fruition.<\/p>\n<p>In its earliest incarnation, it had a different title, different characters and plot and setting. I wrote about 15 pages of it, loved it, but then it died. Sometimes ideas do that.<\/p>\n<p>So I resurrected it in brainstorm form. This time, it had a new set of characters, new plot, new hilarious conflict. But that one never even made it out of the &#8220;Initial Brainstorm&#8221; file. (I always do a file called &#8220;Initial Brainstorm&#8221; when Gary and I come up with an idea.)<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I hit on how to make this kernel of an idea work best. Even now, it makes me laugh when I think about the concept. I love the characters and the setting. I&#8217;d actually contrived the setting while doing an &#8220;Initial Brainstorm&#8221; for a completely different series (one yet to see the light of day \/ an outline). But it worked so well for this book, that I figured I shouldn&#8217;t let a great setting go to waste. Someday I might get a chance to write that other series.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;ve drafted, done one full editing pass, and now I&#8217;m throwing myself into the last scene I realized I need to add to make the romance really snap between the hero and the heroine. I think the hero is so delicious, and the heroine is sweet and selfless and great. I really like them. I hope you will, too.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming I EVER GET THROUGH FINAL EDITS.<\/p>\n<p>#BackToWork<\/p>\n\n      <div data-chorus-discovery data-url=\"https:\/\/www.authorjennifergriffith.com\/?p=1756\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I&#8217;m telling myself that this, THIS is the day that I&#8217;m going to finish the edit of my work in progress, a third installment for the Billionaire Makeover Romance series.
