I've got my starting orders and the first chapter is written in my head but so far that's where it has stayed because I got distracted by things like politics. Also by a fab book (Eleventh Hour by Elin Gregory) which combines m/m romance with spies in London in 1925 including guns, cars, grenades, sewers and a nailbiting ending.

We're going to do a kind of ping pong with different povs (each taking one) roughly alternating throughout. So yes, we've at least made decisions.

I have to say, I'm really quite intrigued by what you're cooking up :0)

Most of my story is still in my head (and on various bits of receipts, stick notes and bank slips - whatever is handy when the muse strikes!) At least you know where you are going to start.

And thanks for the book info - I read the first chapter at amazon and now it resides on my Kindle :-)

Enjoy! I loved the book and I think it would resonate with Pros fans because the whole premise - spy guys in London, undercover, bombs, etc etc is just so relevant! Just be warned, I couldn't put it down and was nearly late for an appointment.

I don't even write post-it notes - well, I do,but they're for things like shopping lists, not writing. I do have a personal Trello where I list things as I go along, but I don't usually set things out in advance, I just know the general direction I'm going in. And of course, with two of us writing, there are going to be surprises along the way!

Making decisions is good!!! Love the thought of the alternating povs so the reader knows how each of the lads is processing the same events. Keep up the good work!

It's a plan and a start, and that's fabulous. And I love it when you find a book that just grabs you and won't let go. Although sometimes they could have better timing. :)

Well, since my comment here, I have written chapter 1 and it will, after a spot of proof reading, wing its way to my co-author for her sequel chapter. I often find that really good books, especially in the right genre (here, secret agents, m/m romance, etc.) might appear to take up time but in fact inspire and invigorate me. It worked, anyway!
