Tabi Card's Blog: Writerly Ramblings - Posts Tagged "writing"

If you haven't noticed, I love making my titles both catchy and punny...get the reference for this one?

'Tis the time of frantic fingers typing desperate words, right? Okay, so maybe not that poetic, but that description sums up how I take the month of November. Two years ago I started a terrible story (I might get back to it, but there's a high chance that I won't) involving Norse myths, Jack Frost, and yetis...and then the last week of November I switched to something different and had the rough draft for Afterwards, the first book in a planned trilogy.

This November, I'm thick in the revising and polishing of my short stories for Scribbles: A Collection of Words *clears throat* which you can pre-order on Inkshares (please do!) as well as revising what I am quite positive is the finalized plot version of Afterwards.

Big things, yeah? I think so, too.

So, comment time - and please do comment! I'm okay with the sensation of talking to myself whilst writing these blog posts, but some interaction would be lovely =) - how is your NaNoWriMo going? What's the project(s) you're working on?

Hope everyone is having as much fun as I am!

Good news!

My short story about a boy with trauma-induced amnesia, Five Minutes, will be released in paperback format from CreateSpace on January 26, 2016. So add to your to-read shelves (if Five Minutes is on your to-read shelf, you are automatically entered for a chance to read an ARC pdf...as well as get some really cool swag I'm going to be working on...) and stay tuned for more info!

Also, if you want to read the other stories from Scribbles: A Collection of Words, please pre-order it on Inkshares and make my dream to become a published author come true!

And a final note, follow me on Twitter @tacewriter for exclusive hints and updates on my writing projects.

Cheers!

This is going to be a post that probably should have been written in the first week of January instead of February, but...



So I'm starting my writing year now, officially that is. And I have 5 definite projects I'm going to be working on, very awesome projects.



Project #1: Afterwards
Now on my writing worktable and set to undergo some extreme revising & polishing in time for hopeful submission to publishers in the Fall... and just in time for me to start (finally) writing the sequel in this planned trilogy.

Project #2: Mersong
This is another revision of a VERY old story of mine, one that I half-finished when I was about 15, so yeah there's a little bit of a time span there with this one. I'm going to start posting this on Wattpad a chapter a week, starting in April.
Read the first chapter now: https://www.wattpad.com/story/6030101...

Project #3: Scribbles: A Collection of Words
Still wrangling with a couple stories on this one, as they really don't want to be tamed. But I shall prevail!
And as a reminder, I'm still running my pre-order funding in an attempt to publish this here through Inkshares and if you could stop by and order a copy (from $10-$20) you will have my gratitude forever!

Project #4: Wanderful Musings
My collection of poetry that I've written through the years, and I'm finally editing it to publish through CreateSpace, planning on doing this sometime in the summer.
And in the meantime, my poetry is available to read on Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/story/3536611...

And finally... (wait for it)... something new!!!



Project #5!!! Project Human
It's a single novel set 100 years into the future, and I'm pitching it as I-Robot meets Divergent meets Real Steel. I'm going to start officially working on it during the July Camp NaNoWriMo, and once it's finished I'm going to open it up for pre-order on Inkshares.
Pssst, follow me on Inkshares for exclusive sneak peeks AND chapters.

So there you have it, the plan for my writing in 2016. But seeing as I'm always learning, tripping over myself on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis, this is subject to change. Something may get added on if I get inspired to work on one of my other upcoming projects (these have yet to be disclosed mwhahaha) or a project may hit an unexpected bump. One of the absolute best things about writing, is that I really don't 100% know what's going to happen. I just sit down with an idea in my mind and let my imagination go wild.

And as always, I adore each and every one of you who takes the time to read these rambling and sporadic posts of mine. Every one who reads my drabblings on Wattpad, or even adds my book to their to-read shelf here on Goodreads. Every time someone shows love to my stories, it gives me even more incentive to keep on dreaming and writing those dreams.



Happy Monday, y'all.
