I have complained many times about my lack of progress over the last few months. Honestly, finding my groove again has been a bit difficult. The paranormal story that has been the very thorn in my side for the last year maybe two was shoved to the back of my mind. I felt I had altered the story so much that there was no way I could make the beginning mesh with the ending any longer and I was frustrated as hell.
My sister has become quite the paranormal reader. Since she had recently devoured such books as SheWolf and Tigress By the Tail by my loverly Teresa D’Amario, Kiss of Midnight by Laurell K Hamilton (another huge love of mine), and the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, I figured it was time. I printed out the first ninety eight pages of my book and let her read it. All I can say is this.
There are many opinions out there that I value and you all know who you are, but there is just something about hearing the barrage of curse words streaming from my little sister’s mouth when she gets to page ninety eight and now has to wait for me to make up my mind to continue the story. Well how could I let my little sis down?
So, here we are and I finally broke the 60k mark. My characters took me on an unexpected turn and so far I am loving the direction. Hopefully, when all is said and done, I will soon type the last words with a sense of great satisfaction. That is what I am striving for… on top of attempting to blog more (you’ve heard that before), brainstorm my young adult story, and zombie story plotting. Full plate? Perhaps…
