Manuscript Monday
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about my current work-in-progress. Maybe because the holidays kicked my butt & slowed my writing to a crawl. And trying to get the word out about PROJECT: RUNAWAY BRIDE at the same time doesn’t help, either. (Have I mentioned that I’m not a proficient juggler? I’m much better at focusing on one thing at a time, not multi-tasking. :seesawkiss )
But I do have a new project in the works—something I can’t share too much about just yet, but that I think you’re really going to like. :balloongoingup
And what I can tell you about is the sexy, mouthwatering hero of this Top Secret story. :animpeekaboo
His name is Patrick Flynn, & at the moment, I’m using Christian Kane as my 
inspiration—because I :lipstick him. I really, really :lipstick him.
I know a lot of guys—& fictional characters—named Patrick often end up being called “Paddy” for short, but that won’t happen in this story. I’m not a fan of that nickname, even though I love the strong, Irish feel behind Patrick itself.
What are your thoughts on the subject?
Do you like Patricks to stay Patricks, or do you like a little Paddy in your heroes? :kisssnowman

Nick names have to pass the “do me” test. If you can hear yourself saying “do me (insert nick name here” thenit works. Paddy doesn’t pass the test.

:animlaughing That’s sort of my thought on the subject, too. I love the name Patrick, but there’s just no super sexy nickname for it. Is there?

I’m not fond of nick names. Ever since a family member started calling me, Mare..instead of Mary, it just doesn’t work for me. I’m not a horse..

LOL Betcha they get that from Mary Tyler Moore. :animlaughing
No one ever gets my name right, so I pretty much answer to anything that starts with an H, including “Hey, you!” :buttwiggle

Ya know that scene in Mask where The Mask is looking at “her” and his tongue just rolls out and off the table. That is how I feel about that very nice bonus hottie picture above. :animwashing
I got to say, I’m not a fan of shortened nick names (however B’girl is weird and has managed to actually lengthen her real name) anyway…..I like Patrick way better than Pat, Paddy, Rick, etc. :animenope

I agree with the nickname test. Paddy doesn’t cut it. But what his friends call him Trick? Maybe he’s got a gambler’s heart, or likes magic or…is a big teaser?
(Besides, Do me, Trick might work?)
