--What is your most recent POV character’s worst nightmare?

Kevin's (I do write people other than Kevin! I'm writing Lego Batman right now as well! But most recent is Kevin...) would probably be losing his job and not being able to provide for his family. He's one of those people whose self-esteem is intricately bound up in whether or not he's a good provider and able to take care of the people he loves.

I've gotten little writing done, but I have a lot of ideas, still! For the nonfiction, I'm at the frustrating point where I have to go find the quotes to support my argument, which is... annoying when they're buried somewhere in a three-hour video interview. I hope your research is not being a nightmare and you're feeling happy and productive!

Hmm, that would be Quinn from my newest romance novel. I think her nightmare would be pretty close to her life right now (which isn't that much of a surprise as I'm at the start of the novel). She's an artist whose day job eats all her time and energy, doing customer service for a job that doesn't appreciate her hardly at all with coworker she doesn't respect or want to spend time with. The only way it could be worse is if she was stuck there forever.

She's very determined not to be stuck there forever.

Not that she sees the way out yet. *grin* That way out will probably come from Morgan, her crush and future love interest. Because, you know, romance novel. *laughs*

My writing is going slow but steady. Unfortunately, it's fallen off as I reformat one of my series and give it all new covers and blurbs. Very labor intensive but very, very needed. Can't be helped.

Good luck finding all your quotes!

Ack, formatting issues. They eat up so much time! I hope it's going well, and the romance sounds wonderful. :D
