- Writing a completely new story for NaNoWriMo helped to keep my ideas from going stale.
- Switching between two different series or even going from writing to needlepoint to give my mind a break.
- Playing mind games, such as the Negative/Positive idea, to create a new challenge.
- Rewarding myself for writing a certain number of words.
- Journaling about the "coincidences" in the day.
- Sometimes even playing with Oracle or tarot cards to see what pops up.
- Playing word games like Best Sellers or flipping pages in books to find the 7th sentence on page 77 or some other random number.
From the moment Leo Blue meets the tattoo artist 's sister Christina, he's drawn into a web of bread dough and lies. Christina Davidson has returned to Packham with a duffle bag full of secrets. Leo soon discovers her biggest secret is Christina's alter ego and her husband who stands accused of murdering an up-and-coming artist. He promises to help set things straight and plans to bring husband and wife together for Christmas—even if it costs him his sanity and the love of his life.
