And so we begin.

Began writing Under Empty Stars yesterday. Since I’m over a chapter in I can get the page done for it. I’ll wait to share it until next week because my newsletter people will get first look at the cover. Advantage of it. I plan to share exclusive content from the making of the story too, just for my subscribers. I’m waiting until a couple of the books have released before I start.

So far the story is tumbling out of me. It’s just a matter of slowing my thoughts down enough so I can type out the words that are coming. This particular book is really exciting because there is going to be such a change in the storyline, and all the characters are taking on a new life. Story bits are coming out in the entire universe that I hadn’t had a clue about when I was writing the first two books. Can’t wait to see if this really is the last book or if it’s about the two main characters in my head.

Hope of the Future was an introductory to this new world we inhabit, the future, what came of the world after the apocalypse. Oh, and an intro to Hope herself. Daughter of the Red Planet was based on introducing Haley and Claude, then Ellie, developing their storyline, and introducing Stone, Jack, and Jeremiah into the fray. Then Ancient Scars I’d say is more about the development of Ellie and Stone, Jack, Jeremiah, but the introduction of their relationship and Ellie and Claude’s. Under Empty Stars picks up where AC ends off.

I’m about 100 words in on the read through of Ancient Scars before I send it off to Jeanie for her first thoughts. This one is already near 93K words so I’m excited to see if it’ll break the 100K mark. I’m getting better at showing details, and environments in my books. Still can’t get my brain to do too much in details when it comes to the actual character and their clothes, may not ever be my thing, but we’ll see in the coming years what happens.

Word count I started the day with: 925

Word count I ended the day with: 3133

Total for the day: 2,208 words

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....
