Didn’t see that coming

Official Cover Working on Witness to the Moon this week.

Since I’m going to work on this for another week, I may just keep going with this one, rather than start the Anora – Druid story that I wanted to. I’m thinking that I will try that out for a change. Work on one novel exclusively until it’s done.

My biggest concern that I always think about with writing one exclusive novel is the boredom. As much as I love to write novels, if I don’t constantly switch what I’m working on (probably why I can work on a ton of projects at once) then I get bored and I struggle with the work. It’s not writing either so I know it isn’t a “writing” issue per se. My issue is pure boredom. I get bored extremely easy if my brain isn’t constantly changing things up. Even with chores and every day life, talking to people, you name it.

I haven’t tried to write only one novel at once in a few years. So I will challenge myself to do just that. See how fast it goes, how well it works out, etc. I could always add another if it lags too bad.

I’m curious where the end will go in Witness to the Moon. I’ve been receiving loads of interesting information from the characters and ideas that will take me into the next book for this, or the second in the Dynasty of Moirae series. I am considering doing what George R.R. Martin did with the number 4 & 5 book in his Game Of Thrones series. They were written in the same time frame. The characters were split, but the time period overlaps. There would be plenty for #3 in the Enchanting the Moon series and #2 in the Dynasty of Moirae series to overlap. The characters would naturally be split in their own ways, but they’d cross over more because those two books may split the same time frame. Does that make sense? Hopefully so. I have ideas brewing that may work better that way. I have never done a book that way before or thought about it, but I just see no other easy methods to tell each story, but by doing an overlap.

Have you checked out the free preview of Blood By Night?

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....
