Why is it when we are at our busiest (writers, I mean) we get more and more ideas for novels? As it stands I have about 7 novels to write in 2010 which are committed and have deadlines and are part of a series or continuation of first books I have already sold! Yikes! Yet, on the way to work on the train each day, more and more ideas hit me!

Six months ago I was begging for ideas, my muse just went on holiday and the bitch just didn't bother telling me. She didn't even leave a note on the refrigerator! How inconsiderate! Now that she's back, it's crack, crack, crack with the whip, let me tell you. Talk about pushy! LOL

The idea I had--and I don't know how I'm going to make this work yet so I will need to do an outline before I lose my thread of thought--was a humorous m/m take on a werewolf story in the mold of the movie "Meet the Parents." 

In other words, a bloke (let's call him John for the sake of this post) falls in love with another bloke (Peter) and all is well...until one day Peter decides the relationship is serious and it's time to meet his parents. The purpose is to 'come out' to his parents that he's dating a human. Peter is the runt of the litter, too, and his brothers and sister help give him and John a hard time...I think it will be a hoot writing about the parent's/family's reaction and the antics that follow as Peter cringes as John tries to impress them :-)

Meanwhile, John doesn't know he's dating a werewolf at first (not until it's all revealed at Peter's parents house in the first meeting) and his parents aren't too pleased about pure blood humans getting involved with that sort of riff raff. It'll be one big family argument all round. What a laugh!

On the train I pictured scenes in my head and chuckled to myself. I bet some passengers on the train I was on think I'm quite mad! (Well, I am...but you know...in a nice way)

Anyway...now looks like 8 books I need to write...I just hope this idea hasn't been done.
