Weekend Writing Sat-Sun (April 27th - 28th) Tag #wwab to join in.

{EAV:47f5cc63826d9fad}

This weekend we will be working on Hope for the Future and Book Five of the Sorceress Series. The furthest behind is Sorceress book, but I'm going to work on Hope for the Future instead.

My creative brain is having problems with the Sorceress book. I know it's the final as there are no new ideas that are tumbling through me which would get me to continue it, but at the same time, the ideas I AM having are being goobery in the brain. So ... working on a different book.





Saturday Updates: 
HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
  • Starting this book at: 54,486 words total.

  • 4,408 words
  • Final update as I am exhausted. 5,724 words today and leaving the book at 57,149. Below is a small draft excerpt for you. Draft means that this is a first draft and it will show this round. I purposely didn't go deep into detail as I will add that in, in the editing stages. This is sometimes the bare that I will do so that I can move on quickly as the ideas pour through my head. I don't always do it, but sometimes I do. I find in editing I actually end up needing to add IN detail, versus take OUT like most authors. Not sure why that is. Just works better for me. A true first draft, which means ... crap, lol.
The gates burst open, breaking from their hinges and clattered to the side, one flew off into the land and a spark erupted before disappearing into nothing. Smoke drifted into the air.
The shadow dragons both stepped next to me and raised their massive heads to their full height. A roar began when they inhaled and their chests puffed out, then a moment later the fire began as they slowly exhaled. The fire swept over and along the ground like waves in the ocean, sweeping over the magical barriers and spinning in massive walls, engulfing the castle and taking over the entire land.
The dragons flapped their wings and the Phagor screamed as he stepped forward, the sound deafening. Stopping just outside the gate, he turned his head toward me. I nodded.
Thunder cracked the sky and lightning struck the earth. The energy fields crackled and snapped.

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
