The writing plan is still pretty much unchanged from last week. I’m When Darkness Falls, trying to get these major revisions finished and out to the second round of beta readers before November, so I can concentrate on something entirely … Continue reading →
The writing plan is still pretty much unchanged from last week. I’ve still got some revisions to do on A Cat For Troy, then back to When Darkness Falls, trying to get these major revisions finished and out to the … Continue reading →
I’m sorry, how did it get to September already??? Early in the week I’d decided to go through and write detailed synopses for each chapter in the Synopsis cards in Scrivener. In doing so, I realized I needed a few … Continue reading →
So I reeeeallllyyyy wanted to have graphics for each of my series, and for the trilogy. I had commissioned the portrait of Jacinth, so I used that as the background for the Wishes & Dreams series, but I’d done the … Continue reading →
Just because I need a place to put these where I can find them when I need them… since these are rewards for significant achievements they won’t happen all that often and I’m liable to forget. MAJOR MAJOR Rewards… this … Continue reading →
Again, there’s not much change from last week. I’m still working on When Darkness Falls, trying to get these major revisions finished and out to the second round of beta readers before November, so I can concentrate on something entirely … Continue reading →
So yesterday morning (Saturday, Aug 25), I posted this to Twitter: OMG OMG! So yesterday afternoon I got an email from an agent I’d queried. But I looked at it in my inbox and just couldn’t take any more rejections … Continue reading →
There’s not much change from last week. Mostly I’ll be working on When Darkness Falls, trying to get these major revisions finished and out to the second round of beta readers before November, so I can concentrate on something entirely … Continue reading →
Well… if I absolutely HAVE to get a rejection letter, I sure do like to get one that reads like this! Wishes in a Bottle looks to be a fun story and series for sure! I think you’ve created an … Continue reading →
There’s not much change from last week. I didn’t get ANY rejection letters this week (???). Mostly I’ll be working on When Darkness Falls, trying to get these major revisions finished and out to the second round of beta readers … Continue reading →
In the face of all the rejections I’ve been getting, my heart got lighter when I got this feedback today from a beta reader in the middle of A Cat For Troy: “Full disclosure: I read all of the chapters … Continue reading →
So over the past months, I’ve had lots of fun building my Pinterest boards, and I think now they are finally organized enough to start to share (I’ve had to work and re-work them, trying to find how I want … Continue reading →
I’m back to writing! I’m working on When Darkness Falls, my 15th century paranormal romance trilogy. I just hit the 200,000 milestone this week. As it stands, it’s broken down into 3 parts/books: Book I: The Palace Book II: The … Continue reading →
Status Report! Last night I hit a milestone… 200,000 words on When Darkness Falls, my paranormal romance trilogy in a 15th Century Arabian Nights type setting. I’m aiming for at least 240,000 total. so far it’s broken down into 68k … Continue reading →
To be honest, not a lot of actual writing is involved in this week’s Plan. I was at RWA’s National Conference in Denver the 17th to 22nd, and I’ve spent most of the week getting unpacked and back into the swing … Continue reading →
I believe *strongly* in the importance of rewards along the way.. and not just for the HUGE things like getting an agent or publishing contract or a new release. I mean, those don’t come along all that often, and in … Continue reading →
So… OMG. There is so much to say, I don’t even begin to know where to start! This was a FABULOUS conference and I had the time of my life… in great part to my SecondLife roleplay mom and writing … Continue reading →
I did quite a bit of work this last week on characterization for When Darkness Falls. I’m expanding some of the major secondary characters, and shoring up descriptions and attitudes on the lower echelon vampires in the resident clan at … Continue reading →
Cats are “obligate carnivores.” Here’s the definition, straight from Wikipedia: “Obligate carnivores, or “true” carnivores, are those carnivores whose survival depends on nutrients which are found only in animal flesh. While obligate carnivores might be able to ingest small amounts … Continue reading →
Oy, I fell down on my weekly Writing Plan last month! There’s actually a reason for this. I fell into a depression over the constant rejection letters. I wrote about it in this post, When Disaster Strikes. However, I’m back … Continue reading →
Remember that full manuscript I had out to an agent? Well, she sent back a rejection, the main reason for which made no sense at all. Anyway, it sent me into a total tailspin. Yes, I do know rejections are … Continue reading →
One of the big problems surrounding #cockygate…. and I’m sure something that is powerfully motivating Faleena Hopkins, is the costs of her victims to mount a legal defense. Most people are going to back down with the threat of a … Continue reading →
I did it! I got A Cat For Troy finished! Well, it still has to go through beta reading and revisions, but it’s written! Yay ‘n stuff! We’re on countdown for a response from the agent who asked for the … Continue reading →
I finished! At 12:30 am, total 93,246 words. So the entire 3-book series is done! At least, unless that one little niggling idea for a 4th book ever works itself into a viable plot, LOL! But for now, FINIS!!! And … Continue reading →
Excitement!!! I had a literary agent ask for a partial (first 50 pages) of Wishes in a Bottle, the first book of my Wishes & Dreams paranormal romance series. In the end she declined to see more… but she seemed … Continue reading →
