Found Treasure by Janet Lane Walters #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #Treasure #writing #Story

My found treasure isn't gems or cash. My daughter was here for a few days and she nagged me a bit about clearing out the file cabinet. We did sort out a few things like a number of wills done years ago, contracts from pulblishers no longer in business. That's when i found the treasures. The rough draft of a Civil War historical novel I may or may not have written or I could have been editing it for a friend. I'll investigate this more. Then there was the background work, the blurb for myself and notes on a Regency Romance. I do know i wrote this one. That's when I stopped this search. Now there are three more drawers with multiple folders still to be looked at. I'm not sure whatever treasures I'll find but I now have a future project that's all outlined and chapter synopses in hand. Once I put the new book going well, I'll work on this Regency. I also found a hint to a third regency - Margaret - Spices. Not much but I think more will come once I search my computer brain.

The Regency Title is Silks.

But now it's back to work on The Horror Writer's Demise.

Just one more Joy of Aging by Janet Lane Walters #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor Aging #Joy

Lately, I've had no incidents when people questioned my age and my ability to be independent. Then my granddaughter reminded me of an incident from a few months ago when I left the hospital and went to a rehab center for a few days.

She went to the nurse's desk to ask a question and suddenly found herself being asked questions about her grandmother. She told them to go ask Gran. The nurse smiled. "You're ehre so you can answer. We wouldn't want to confuse your grandmother."

My granddaughter answered as best as she could since there are things she doesn't know. The nurse assurred ehr she would come and find the answers from me if they were needed. She never came and she never asked me any questions.

So once again, there are unanswered questions. The only good thing was that I was able toleave rehab almost a week before they predicted I should stay.

What these Joy of Aging posts have shown me is what I'll write about next. Actually, I have four projects waiting. One is to finish Keltoi,the last installment of the Moon Rising series. I may have to publish it on my own but that's all right.

There is a new, I'm not sure if it's a series since there are only two mysteries that have appeared in my thoughts. The heroine is Valentina Hartly and she thinks with her name she should write a romance. She attends a session put on by published authors and as she's leaving, she stumbles over a body. She learns this is the Horror Writer who had been coming to be one of the speakers. A second idea for this heroine involves stolen snuff boxes.

The third idea involves a nurse practitioner who specializes in the aging population. She has joined the practice of two young, handsome doctors. Suddenly, the elderly start dying and she begins to suspect one or both of her partners. She lives with three friends, who are also nurses with different specialties.

The fourth thing on my plate is something I found in my files. The outline for a Regency novel. "Silks is the second book in the series that began with Gemstones. Who knows why I was diverted from writing this back then. Most likely, I had a dozen other books wanting to be told.
