It's been said, "Love is in the details." And yet, as I venture further into writing my second novel, I'm not loving the details!
So, I'm turning to you, my blog friends, for a little direction. Just think, if ... I mean, when ... I make it big, you can say, "I was a part of the writing process!"
Okay, so here goes: The working title of novel #2 is "Secrets, Lies and Apple Pies". And here's a one sentence synopsis (notice that I haven't named the main character): After a devastating car accident on the day she learned of her husband's affair with a close family friend, the main character, broken and defeated, returns to live with her mother on a far removed apple orchard seeking solace yet searching for answers.
You guessed it: Help me name the main character. Should I name her after an apple, such as Braeburn or Cortland? Or should she have a more common name like Meredith or Candace? Or something a little spicy like Scarlet?
And I need your input on one more matter. The love triangle in the novel begins with a friendship forged during their college years. Where would you enjoy reading about? Here's the choices: Ivy League like Cornell in Ithaca, NY or my alma mater, Elizabethtown College, PA or maybe a more urban setting, such as Georgetown University, Washington D.C. ?
I appreciate your input. And, I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

RUBY! I wanted to name Makena Ruby June. It would be awesome...I think. :)
ReplyDeleteRed = Apple...Jewel...and it sounds a little daring and old fashioned too.
I like when you write about places you know or have been...I think Elizabethtown would be cool. Homegrown Author Makes It Big In PA...I can see it now...
