Valentine's Short Story!
This post is a little bit late, but I decided I couldn't exactly wait another year for Valentine's Day to come around again

Writing My Way Through
"A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people."Thomas Mann
When it comes to writing, I do not count myself as an expert—as long as I'm writing, I'm learning

Postcard from a Pantser
I make no secret of the fact that I have tried—and failed—to outline all of my books in advance so far. I get a little frustrated with myself because I know the plot is inside my head somewhere and I just wish it would reveal itself all at once. Before I even start writing would be perfect, haha.I also have to confess that my attempts to plot can be time-consuming and distracting. Therefore, given how little writing time I have available, I've decided to embrace the reality of being a pantser for my next book. I'm not going to spend any time attempting to figure out the plot before I start. The idea is a little scary because I'll be embarking on a brand new series, which means I won't have any backstory or familiarity to get me started. On the other hand, I will have complete freedom in terms of character creation!
Today's blog post is an inside view into the beginning. I am still working on book seven in the Legacy of Androva series, so I won't be focusing properly on anything else until that's finished. But I didn't think it would hurt to look ahead into the magical world I'll be creating next.
This is the prologue. I jumped straight in and let it be whatever it would...
