Re Reading & Lazy Writing

Oh...My...God... As I told you yesterday I'm re reading The Lines Of Marsden. Today I realise I need to send out a big apology to my editor at the time Kimberly Brandt... I finally get what you were telling me.

I recently acquired a copy of a styling guide which explains all those things you tried to get through my head, and I fought you so hard on.

I'd also like to apologise to all my past, current,  and future editors, as well as my beta readers. I won't say my habits will change over night... but I'm starting to work on everything I didn't understand and had locked in the back of my mind.

So today I'm sending out a big thank you to the awesome Kathy Kozakewich over at Fireborn Publishing who gave me the guide in the first place. You totally rock!

The Diamond Rose

I started off today by going through and re reading what I've already written on The Diamond Rose. I'm trying to eliminate the use of the words: That... Felt... Like, and so on. I can't believe how different it reads without them.

I've also been of a night re reading The Lines Of Marsden, and taking down notes of all the important stuff. The more I read these books the more I like Doyle... I don't know why he's my favourite he just is, with Michael coming in a close second.

NOTES: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was excellent... I will so be buying it on DVD when it comes out... This weekend I'm taking Emily and Ethan to see The Maze Runner.

Just Finished - Moon Runners 1: Heart-mate, Mine!

Today I'll be finishing off Moon Runners 1: Heart-mate, Mine! and sending it to my beta reader James A to work his magic before I submit this extended and totally re written story.

I Feel Like Crying...

Yes, I feel like throwing my head back and screaming. Why, I hear you ask? Because I was writing down all the wordages I have in all of my WIPS so I know which books I need to pull into line for my writing schedule. Only to come to see I've lost all my work containing to The Connelly Chronicles.

I can look at this from two ways: 

(1) I've moved it to some weird arse place on my computer that I just haven't thought of to look yet - Hopefully Emily will have better luck.

(2) It's a gone for good and I have to start from scratch. At least I've still got most of my hand written notes to fall back on and my wonderful editor, Faith B-B sent me the in depth synopsis for each of the books so it at least gives me a starting point. I'll let everyone know if I find them or not...

On a brighter note: I'm taking the kids and a couple of nieces (ranging in ages from 13 to 31) to see The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tomorrow at the cinema's. So really we're going because I want to see them and I'm dragging them along with me.

I also have a release date October 3rd for the upcoming Lancaster's Way 2: A Different Way Of Seeing. I will share the cover art with you all when I get it.

Masters Of Time

This story started out as my first free read for the Don't Read In The Closet for the MMRomance group over on Goodreads. Where we got some pictures and a prompt and have to write a story that fits the scene we have been given.

Book 1: Shadows On The Heart - I fell in love with the characters in this story, and in the 15K we for this round were allotted I wrote my heart out. it was my first time and I was such a newbey that I'll now admit that I nervous wrote - so parts of it when I read it back make me cringe. hence the reason I've decided to re write the whole story and extend it by a good 25K, bringing it up to around 40K I have this scheduled in to finish as part of my NaNoWriMo challenge. Once I submit this book it'll end up with a whole new cover... which will be exciting.

I'm hoping in the extended version I'll try and answer all the unanswered questions concerning Rurik, Andreas, and Leif. So if you have any leave me a comment and let me know.

Book 2: On The Flipside Of Reverse... This is the story of Tucker McCrae (Drunken Witch), Kylfa (Viking), and Harpin (Other)... When I saw this picture I knew I'd found my inspiration for Tucker. Tucker has to decide whether or not he'll try and return to his own time or stay in the past with Kylfa and take the new life he's being offered. the viking village soon comes to learn Rurik's secret when strange things begin taking place in their village... people begin disappearing never to be seen again while others come back changed, and not always for the better.

Book 3: Following The Aftermath... yeah that's as far with the planning of that one I have done all I know is that there is a dragon shifter, a viking, and another time traveller.
