Weekend Writing Sat-Sun (June 1st - 2nd) Tag #wwab to join in.

Well, since finishing the Dark Illusions series, I don't have a choice, but to work on the other two. I was going to start Winged Shadows 2 this weekend, but after I scheduled my newsletter, I forgot that I have to research the book and see what all I want to do with it. I've got all your feedback in my messages still and then I have a scene where Kora is telling Bradon off in my head. Apparently she is through with his shit, despite him thinking he's the one on top. Oh no, no, no, she says. Not anymore. Not when she has the boy to take care of. Since I've had no time this week, I will try to research next week and then start next weekend. Crossing fingers.

I've been working on the updated Winged Shadows cover and the Dark Illusions: The Next Chapter cover too. The DD cover has to be updated because I used licensed pictures and will have to re-license this year, but I am still limited as to what I can use the cover for and I don't like that, so I'm making my own with free images, and adding my own personal touches.

So this weekend we will be working on Sorceress Book Five (71,333 words) and Hope of the Future (79,079 words).

If you would like to join in, and have others check you out, tag your posts #wwab and include link in area below. As long as you tag your post and share with #wwab, I don't care if it has to do with book writing, or just blogs.




Saturday Updates: 
SORCERESS BOOK FIVE
  • Starting the book at: 71,333 words.
  • 1,311 words so far.
  • 2,737 words so far.
  • 4,039 words so far.
Teaser: 
The clear threat pissed me off. I was remaining calm for Blaise’s sake, but that was too far. The shop began to shake so fiercely that the windows rattled and some of the spices and jars slammed to the ground. Glass broke through the main room while I stared Riagan down.  The floor began to shake so hard it made Blaise stumble behind me and mutter, ‘woah.’ 
Beneath the roar of the shaking, I spoke clearly for him to hear me. “Do not threaten me, Riagan. That bit about the friendship works both ways. Blaise is like a father to me. You will not touch him. You want to fight someone? [... teaser removed ...]” I ground out the threat, “That has nothing to do with Blaise.”
“So be it. Knock it off, Maeve. Now.”
I shrugged and the rumbling ceased as fast as it came on. Blaise said a soft ‘wow’ behind me.
Riagan stepped away and I did too. I looked at Blaise. “You were saying?”

  •  7430 Words and ending the book at 78,116 words. End of Series too! Another mourning session is in order. Every time I end a series I sort of feel all mourny for a wee bit, haha. It's different than a book, I think, because a series, I've worked on for years and years. This one I started 2009, so it's been a few years. 

Sunday Updates:
HOPE OF THE FUTURE
  • Total to start: 79,079 words
  • 649 words.
  • 1025 words
  • Had to quit yesterday and go lay down. Have a swollen lymph node in my throat and it was bothering me. Little things like that happen when I push too hard and need to take a break. My body's way of saying, hey dork (it's mean like that to me) you need to relax or I'll make it worse. Luckily brother bought pizza so I didn't have to cook either. So I took a half day off. Back to the grind today.
  • Left the book at 80, 235 and far from done. Curious if I'm going to break this into more than one. Not quite sure. I may cut a lot earlier in the book if this one goes too long so that I can just keep it under 120K, otherwise, I'll leave it as is if word count remains under that. 
See you next weekend, and don't forget the below. Tomorrow! Free download day.

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....
