<p>I write two paranormal series, as well as historical and contemporary, so yes it is very time consuming lol.</p>
<p>Then I have this lil problem, of when I'm writing on one book, something I'm writing sparks a new idea, and I have to minimize what I'm writing on and start a new document so I don't lose the new idea. I've written 16 books so far like that lol. </p>
<p>Now all I do is just send then off to my editor, then they're published because they're already written.</p>

<p>But what I've found, is that you have to make time to write, and force yourself, just like you go to work everyday, or it won't get done.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have 12 books finished in the paranormal, 3 in the historical, and 1 in the contemporary. Four half finished, six new ideas, and two a 1/4 written lol.</p>

Actually, it was a suggestion for you guys. I know you are all self publishing and trying to promote your books. I'm going about it the old fashion way and seeking representation from an agent. So if you decide to use it, let me know how it is going...<br/><br/><cite>Amy Manemann said:</cite>
