I finished Witness to the Moon this week. [dances and celebrates] That means that tomorrow I can start on my Anora – Druid Story.

I definitely didn’t expect to end the story at such a low number, but as I’ve stated before, in my edits I can tend to put a lot into the story with details. Sometimes to the point where I started at 70K and ended at nearing 100K. That’s how vague I am in the writing stage. The funniest thing. I think I read that Holly Lisle does the same thing. I’ll take that as a good thing.

I’ve been putting in a lot of words for each of my writing sessions I noticed. Except for the day where I got little sleep, I’ve been nearing 2K which is normal for me. I like that. Means that I’m getting good sleep on those days, the story is flowing, and I’m making good headway on the novel.

Random sidebar: I am currently listening to a Chihuahua telling the world that it is outside. It used to be a Rat Terrier mix that lived next door and we’d hear nearly all day long, and now that the new neighbors are moved in, we’ve exchanged that with a pair of Chihuahuas. One of which tells the entire neighborhood each time it comes outside and then it’ll bark for a good 10-20 minutes sometimes. One of those little yappy voices. Today is nearing seventy degrees out so I have the window open and I can hear him jusssst fine, lol.

As I finished the end of this story, I was getting a lot of bits for the beginning of the third in the series. I was also getting a lot of scene information last night for the starting point. I’m near one hundred percent sure at this point that Mila will be kidnapped. After what happened at the end of the novel and that Alex is pretty out of it, but the men who’ve been bothering Mila are still there. It leaves it wide open. They want her for a reason.

It leaves everything wide open for her to be kidnapped. So the question now is . . . why? What do they want from her, what is going to take place now?

I’m super curious and if I wasn’t challenging myself to stick to one story this round, I would completely throw it into the mix and start the number 3. I need that break from it though since I worked on Don’t Go Far just recently. That way my characters live their lives and my brain purges itself of ideas. Then the bits can percolate and I can begin the next. I’ll be working on the 2nd in the Dynasty of Moirae series shortly too. That follows Blood By Night which releases in just two more days!

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

By
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

By
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....
