WIP Update 03

WIPUI’m still working on the outline for my adventure story. I think I’m pretty much done; I’m just not sure how much I want to share. I still haven’t settled on a title, but I have plenty of time for that.

Solomon’s Sword

The Redeeming Blade

The Land of Curses and Covenants

At this point, I’m done making alterations to Eternal Curse: Battleground. I’m going to read through it once more before sending it off for editing. With that being said, I have plenty to keep me busy with Eternal Curse: Covetous Angels. This story just keeps growing and developing in so many ways, but all in all everything is still lining up with the way I originally imagined the story ending. I guess I’ll just have to see how that holds up as I make my way through this third installment of the series…I’ll be slipping in tidbits about the second story building up to its release, which has no date at the moment.

As for It’s Like the Full Moon, all I can say it that it’s coming along.

Do you have a WIP update to share?

Author Insights 02

authorinsightI’ve never been a phobic kind of person, but I’m afraid of sickness right now.  I just got over a very terrifying illness and people all around me are getting sick. My nephew has the flu and is healing well, but I’m fearful for him. I don’t like that he’s sick like that.

My job terrifies me. I work with children and have for five years, but this year has been unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I feel like my skin is crawling, itching, and just trying to get away from my school building every time I walk in there. I have a job to do, but I just don’t know if it’s worth it. Things have just gotten so bad.

Sometimes when I come home I’m so exhausted, I literally pass out. Sometimes I feel so grimy and infested that I can’t do anything until every stich of my clothing has been removed and is hidden in the hamper, and I’ve had a hot shower. I’ve used more moisturizer this school year, so far, than I think I used in the last two years because I wash my hands so much and am trying to keep my skin from drying out.

Sometimes I think this new preoccupation with not getting sick makes it hard for me write. I used to have no problem finding my creative comfort zone at home, but now I sometimes find that I have to clean an area two or three times before I feel safe.

I’m aware of what’s happening to me and am doing my best not to let the fear get to me. I’m making a conscious effort not to obsess about my fear, but I don’t want to ignore it. After what I’ve been through, I will do whatever humanly possible to not go through that again. I want to be able to write and I want to be healthy, but I wonder if I am able to do both. All I want to do is writing my stories, but I guess you just can’t have what you want all the time, no matter how simple it may seem…but I’ll keep trying.
