I am aware it's late October

So, ummm, yeah... Let's move on *clears throat* I am still working on D2. I've been making sure everything is in past tense. For some reason I have a problem staying in the same, correct tense when writing in first person. Beyond that I've also been thinking about the next book(s). I know that's dangerous because I have no guarantee that I'll sell the first, but still.... So I came up with yet another tweak to the story line that doesn't majorly change this book but leaves another thread or two open for the next book. Right now I'm dealing with the worry that I haven't explained enough about the "rules and history". It's hard for me to step back far enough to see if I have. I'm really hoping looking at the book on paper will help me out.
Anyways, on a much lighter note I've somewhat recently read the first book in Rachel Vincent's Soul Screamers series. It was great. I haven't let myself read much of the second; I'm saving it for after D2. Also this weekend I watched Real Steel. Great movie! I'm always impressed when an action movie has a storyline and can cause emotional reactions. It exemplifies what I want my stories to do to readers.
Okay, enough is enough, I guess. Keep on writing!

Rush

974 words down today! *(I'm ammending that to 1,536)*Yup, that's right, I've started my new WIP and for right now I'm riding the high of starting a book. I know the hard work is coming (can you say detailed outline 'cause I like to know kind of how I'm going to get where I want to go) but for right now, I've got the first part of this WIP on Word.

In other news I finished Need by Carrie Jones in one day. Yup, it was that good :) Ok, I"m off to continue to reward my writing and 2 hours of cleaning at the new house with some more internet time :)

Keep writing, even if you think it's crap, you can always fix it later. If the page is blank, there's nothing to fix!

Quick


I finished Alpha by Rachel Vincent. One word (that in no way lives up to describing the book), AWESOME. I will be doing a review of this book too and posting it, ummm...sometime :)



Oh, I've made it to c12 of D4 and I've skipped several chapters doing a third read through. I think I'm going to save the 3rd read through for the rest of the chapters until I finish with c21. And then I query!!!!!!!!!!! And wait............And write my next book!!!!!!!!!!!!!
