Chapter 11

Georgia was baking something that smelled wonderful. Cookies, I thought. I could pick up a hint of both cinnamon and ginger. It was snowing again, so it seemed the perfect sort of day to settle in and get some work done. Georgia was staying in the bedroom at the front of the cottage that would eventually be my office, so I’d set up a desk for my computer in my bedroom. I’d spent the entire morning attempting to outline my novel. I had a general idea of where I wanted to go with it, as well as a vague feel for the main characters, but so far that old familiar itch to start writing hadn’t quite grabbed me.

I’d thought I was ready to get back to work when I’d called Kate, but perhaps my phone call had been premature. I’d begun my writing career with sweet romances, which provided a natural segue into women’s fiction. I enjoyed writing about the ups and downs of everyday life, but at some point I’d grown bored with what I felt were similar stories told from different angles and tried my hand at mystery. My work in the genre had served me well, but my world had changed, and as it had morphed into a new reality, so had I.

I needed a challenge. Something different. I thought a psychological thriller would fit the bill, but now I wasn’t so certain. Maybe I should return to my roots and try a romance. Or a family drama? I’d been playing around with an idea for a multigenerational family all living in one house. The theme of family was a big one for me at the moment, although the family I had left had been reduced to a sister who refused to speak to me. Perhaps the hole in my life where a family once was had created a need to explore the complex relationships that came from being part of a large, close-knit group.

I tried a few ideas, but after making several attempts at an opening paragraph, I opened my mail app. I still hadn’t heard from Annie, but that didn’t mean I was going to stop trying to get through to her.
