That's fun that two of you had a cancer story idea at the same time. Did you have a little writer discussion group for it?
No writer discussion group, but it was perfect because her story couldn't have been more different from mine. It was more of a bucket list type story, and you don't find out about the cancer till the second half, but my cancer story radar was pinging from the first couple chapters. I just had a feeling that's where it was heading, and sure enough... It was a great story!
If Brian heart problem stories are popping up again, then there's a little expansion, so... what's the term below a monopoly? lol
I looked it up. You are the Dominant Firm of BSB medical dramas (you control at least half the market and have no significant competitors. The ones you do have are smaller firms who compete with each other for the rest of the market rather than you.) This is the weirdest thing I've googled in a while other than the random movie I stumbled on while searching the demon tag. "A Purgatory Story" wherein a demon falls in love with a human girl who appears in his realm. And I had a "is this PBox?" moment (it is not).
LMAO! Dominant Firm of BSB Medical Dramas. I love that!! I would welcome some "competition" though, which I wouldn't even see as competition. There's room for all medical drama writers, the more the merrier! Just do your research first!
Oh, that is always interesting where you find a movie or book with a seemingly similar idea to one of your stories. Usually it turns out to be not that similar. Have you ever come across something that was really similar to your work that you had no idea about when you were writing it (maybe because it didn't exist yet)? I had something similar happen the other day; I watched a new movie that was trending on Netflix because, again, it made me radar ping and reminded me of something I'd written, and sure enough... I found it very predictable, probably because I wrote a novel with a similar premise, although mine went a totally different direction.
I would too, but I'm also not positive I would want him to know that I wrote it. As much as I joke, I'm sure his actual reaction would be closer to "WTF" than detailed discussions on the fleeting force of life and nature rising up against man. But it should be the second! Again, I'm probably overselling this idea, lol. I think I missed that one, what did he say? (You don't have to find it; a summary is fine.) He is probably better off not knowing, lol.
LOL I would be mortified if any of them ever read one of mine. So yeah, "BSB Reacts to Fanfic" is probably not a good idea.
I will link the video because it's easy to find:
https://youtu.be/Gyv2X0BqxBI?t=54 Basically, Nick thinks fanfic has "a lot of gossip" (??), until Kevin informs him that the two of them hook up in fanfic and calls it "freaky." Kevin has clearly read some slash LOL. Nick clearly does not know what he's talking about, which, again, is probably a good thing.
I had to up my word count goal again because the remainder wasn't enough for three chapters, and NaNo says I'll be done on June 15th, which is unlikely since that's my anniversary and hubs and I are doing a little staycation at the hotel we had our room block at next week. Although, I did request an hour to write each morning and he requested an hour of gym time, so if I don't finish it this weekend, maybe I'll get some solid writing done. I don't want to rule out that I'll get into the groove and this weekend will be like last weekend. I'm hoping it is, actually. It would be exciting if I had decided on my next project by July!
I hope so!
I believe in you! You can do it! Maybe we can convince Tracy to join our July Camp projects. I get not wanting to write while traveling, since there's already so much going on. But you really don't like hugging Brian and thinking about how you stabbed him recently? lol
You are so prolific!! That's awesome that you keep upping your word count goal and are still on track to finish in time. A staycation, that sounds nice! And that'll be perfect if you do your writing while he's at the gym. An hour a day is enough to keep the streak alive, at least.
I hope Tracy does join us! She'll need to decide on a new project too, since History is almost done. Tracy, do you have any more thoughts on what you'll write next?
LOL True story - last time I did a VIP was during their Vegas residency, and I insisted on standing next to Howie for the photo because I felt so guilty about brutally killing him ten days earlier and just wanted to give him a big hug. Thankfully, he did not know that.
Have you had a sequel since BMS? I'm feeling like the answer is no, yeah? I get why the itch wouldn't have struck though if the stories didn't feel warranted having one and BMS was a long sequel, so you may have been sequeled out at that point. That's fun that it feels similar though, since Broken/BMS are close to your heart. ![Smiley :)](http://absolutechaos.net/fictalk/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
Not a novel-length sequel to another novel. Technically SAMS is a sequel to a one-shot, but I don't really count that one. I think of it more as Unsuspecting Sunday being a prequel to SAMS. There's also my pandaskunk stories, but those are novellas. I swore I would never write another sequel because I don't have a good track record for finishing them, but I have no regrets about writing BMS. I guess I would consider writing another one with the right idea and inspiration. I feel like the basic idea is there; it just needs some development.
