Author Insights 01

authorinsightSo it’s a new year and I am determined to make this year better than the last. Aside from a day job, I used to like and now can’t stand, I didn’t have much to complain about in 2012. I have a wonderful husband who lets me be me and an amazing family that drives me crazy in all the right ways. They love me so much and I love them.

I’ve had decent health, up until recently, but I’m even getting over that spell now. I haven’t been writing as much as I’d like, but I have been writing pretty steadily. I’m slowly building up a blog following and maybe one day that will spill over into a fan following for my books.

So here’s the point of this article—It’s a chance for me to declare what I will accomplish this year. I will release Eternal Curse: Battleground this year and I will release It’s Like the Full Moon this year. I will finish development of my adventure tale and continue to work on my skills and catalog of short stories. I will continue to enjoy readying, when I can, and not make a chore of it. I even plan to find some kind of way or cause to support with my writing so that I’m not just taking, but am also giving back.

Most importantly, I am going to keep calm and focused and not let myself get overwhelmed. When I got sick, it was a wakeup call for me. I was doing so much, that my body just didn’t have the time or the strength to fight my illness. I had to end up on complete quarantined bed rest for two weeks, just to clearly understand that I can’t do it all.

I’ve had to pick and choose and let some things go, but I’m hoping there will be a change in my future that lets me do all the things I want to do, when the time is right…And just for good measure and tradition, I’m going to lose some weight too.

WIP Updates

WIP Update 01

WIPUHere’s my official first WIP update. I figured a weekly article like this will help to keep me accountable for my writing.

First, I am receiving a very positive response from my betas about the sequel to Eternal Curse. Even though I’m still waiting for a response from one more, everyone has said that they like it better than the other. So since I’m still waiting to send it off to my editor I’m starting to think of marketing strategies for it.

Also, I’m trying to get together with my artist to work on a new set of select images. What’s cool about the ebook versions of these books is that the images are optional. They are a part of the story via links so the reader has the option as to whether they want to see them or not.

Second, my little romance, “It’s Like the Full Moon” is coming along. I think this has been the hardest thing for me to write lately. Romance and contemporary fiction don’t come as natural to me as fantasy, but I really do love this story and feel I just have to tell it.

Since the last time I mentioned it, I finally decided to make the notions of a possible love triangle become a reality. Rebecca is torn, at the moment, between bliss and guilt as two wonderful men now openly woo and compete to be the last man standing. Rebecca has done all she can to avoid this situation, not wanting to be the kind of woman to date multiple men, but these guys just won’t leave her alone and are eager to compete for her affection.

Lastly, I have even gone back and looked at my notes for the adventure story I started so long ago. It’s not even a WIP yet; just lots of notes, but the notes are getting good. Right now I’m trying to decide just how far into the world of fantasy and adventure I’m willing to take this. So far I have a special sword, twin sons, lots of death, and the onslaught of war. There are no elves, dragons, or wizards in the story now, but there is a magical flare to it…a sense of the unknown or unexplained. I still have much more to think about. Maybe next time, I’ll have details from a completed outline to share.

Do you have a WIP update to share?
