WIP Update 13 – Writer’s Creed 2

WIPU

I have been doing a lot of reading and very little writing. I’ve been reading for critique and review, as well as reading for pleasure, but I’ve had much difficulty finding time to write outside this blog. My personal life, work life, and writing life are all battling for my time and mind; at the moment and I don’t think any of them are winning. Hopefully I’ll find a balance soon so I can bring some of my currents WIPs to their conclusions.

I found one beta and am seeking another to offer feedback on my completed WIP sequel to Eternal Curse.

I have been making many new friends in the blogosphere and look forward to sharing with them. I continue my efforts to promote books and authors by interviewing or promoting authors: Penelope Dyan, Lillian Brummet, L.A. Little, Jaq D. Hawkins, as well as others in the weeks to come.

WIP Update 12 – Writer’s Creed 1

WIPU

I actually did some writing in spite of having to overcome some tremendous obstacles I’d rather not discuss now. I added another chapter to a book I thought I finished months ago, but with the release of Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel only weeks away, Eternal Curse: Battleground was whining for some attention.

After that some of my other works started vying for my attention. I added another chapter to It’s Like the Full Moon, but that’s only after I rewrote almost half the book…I just realized that I never updated you guys on that. The last time I updated you on that story I was pretty much finished with it, but then I had a dream that I royally screwed up the ending. So I went back and rethought and rewrote quite a bit of it. Romance is so hard for me, especially since it’s not juicy romance. I have to keep it sweet; anything else from me would just sound weird.

I’ve actually jotted down some ideas for new stories, but I’m not sure what to do with them. I may try to work on some short stories and see what happens. I fear that maybe I’m hindering my own writing process by trying to write only things I feel will be good novel length stories. It’s time to put a stop to that and just write.

Here’s a little something new; I’m sure 2014 will bring in many new things. I’ve taken on this writers creed and here is my first update on the matter…

It’s my first month so I don’t feel too bad about not keep up 100% with the creed. It’s been a rough few weeks for me and I’ve been able to stay on top of things, but it’s taking its toll in other ways. I’m a blogger for life, so I’m sure I’ll have plenty of chances to live of the creed in the months and years to come.
