I just finished copyedits for my fantasy flash fiction story. That story has now had a name change, and though I loved the original title, the new one fits much better. I’m so excited about the story and the anthology it’s in, and I’ll share more soon.
In other writing news:
~I had this amazing idea for a horror story last night and wrote the first chapter, plus hand wrote the beginning of the second chapter. While writing that opening scene for chapter two, I realized that I’m still so excited about storytelling and writing. I wrote my first story when I was about 5 years old, was first published by Musa Publishing in 2012, and now I’m self-publishing as well as submitting to agents and bigger publishers.
I love the art of storytelling, the process of writing (I actually really love the revision stage- it’s my favorite!), and I don’t think that will ever change ❤
~Tuck 4 had stalled a few weeks ago but after changing the ending of the newest chapter, she’s back on track and lined up for the big fight scene. The words are flowing again so I’m hoping that means the rough draft will be done by the end of November.
~I’m still working on my fantasy novel as well. I think writing that fantasy flash fiction kicked the novel into gear again. The novel is now over 35k, and I’m thinking the rough draft will be around 45k, but with revisions and edits that count will most likely end up around 70k.
~I’ve not printed out Shards or The Scrying House yet. The timing doesn’t feel write so I’m letting them sit for a little while longer.
~I finished the first pass of edits/revisions for Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be, and sent a note to my editor to look over one of the changes I made to make certain it flows well. I’m aiming for a December release and will update you as soon as that’s concrete.
I fell behind on my podcasting because of all of the writing, but I’ve got some Halloween/Samhain plans coming up next week that I’m so excited about. I can’t wait to share that on here as well as the podcast! Expect a new podcast around the first weekend of November 🙂
