A new book idea

What a freaking week. My entire life basically stopped in order to accommodate a big report deadline for the Day Job. I still have a bit of work to do this weekend but by Monday, it will be done! Woo!!

In other news, I had this hilarious conversation with Ben last night:

me: Hey, I had a new book idea today!
Ben: Oh yeah?
me: Yeah, but here's the weird thing: it was for a romance.
Ben: A bromance??
me: No!! A ROmance.
Ben: Oh. *thinks* Like the Fabio kind?
me: No, a contemporary.

Let's discuss, shall we? A) A bromance book. This sends me into fits of internal giggles every time I think about it. Imagining scenes, pitches, query letters... B) I love that Fabio apparently has his own romance genre. C) Just to clarify, the reason I said it was weird was because I've never written one. I mean, I wrote a UF that had a very strong romantic element. And I didn't really think I'd ever write one, which is just ridiculous because I never thought I'd write a dystopian YA and here I am, revising it. Still. Ugh. Somebody kill me. *ahem*

So, yeah. Perhaps I'll be writing a contemporary romance next! Or maybe space opera! Who knows, really?

I'm off to a busy weekend. I hope you're all doing well!
