Onto Charred Wings

I started to input the changes from the Charred Wings manuscript into the physical. When I went to start working on it, it crept me out. I opened the file, right? And it said “what shall we convert it to?” I’m all, uh wait? No. No, don’t tell me the file is corrupted and I have to retype everything, not just changes! Absolutely not. I completely disregard that reality.

Well *wipes forehead* after some minor (not minor) panic inside, I got the file open, ...

Sent Scorched Silence off

On Saturday morning I sent Scorched Silence to Jeanie for her first thoughts. I finished on Friday night, at 5pm, but I didn’t actually finished everything until Saturday morning because I wrote up the background for the world. In this one I wanted to prep her a lot more than normal because of a lot of the background information isn’t even included in the first book. It’s an enticement into the world.

So that way she’d have a good understanding of what plans I have for the world by what is i...

Published – Granddaughter’s

Published A Granddaughter’s Magical Curfew on paperback. Had issues with the cover so it got put a bit behind. I needed to fix some of the writing along the side so needed to wait for another proof. But I just hit publish on the paperback earlier so it’ll be distributed to all vendors now.

Been having some really good writing days with Sofrir & Pheirgr of Atalantius Omega III. Today was interesting too. I ended up discovering a character I’d already written. When Anika recalls her childhood,...

First read through

I am starting the read through for Scorched Silence today. Should be sending it off to Jeanie for her first thoughts around when I predicted. First week of September. Potentially Friday, September 3rd. I usually take the weekends off and I will especially be taking this weekend off considering last night I didn’t get much sleep. Tummy pain.

Today’s numbers for  Sofrir & Pheirgr of Atalantius Omega III .

Started the book – June 27, 2021

Word count yesterday – 45,389 words...

Working through

Woke up with an extreme case of the dizzies today. It was so bad I could barely walk and ended up not being able to handle breakfast. Thought I could. And then I couldn’t. In case it was a budding migraine I took some aspirin but didn’t have Aleve which works best for me on the rare case that it crops up. So I’ve been taking it easy as much as possible.

The only thing I can think in these situations is why do people do things to make themselves feel this way for fun? Yes, I’m that boring. Can...

How similar they can be

This will be in regard to the current story I’m writing – Sofrir and Pheirgr of Atalantius Omega III. Thought I should preface these (if I remember to) in case someone new stumbles upon one of these posts. They may not realize I write based off stories a lot. I haven’t been but I enjoy breaking down the psychological aspects and the philosophical beliefs, then turn around and use them as life inspiration. Or, just write about the story.

It has recently occurred to me how well this story fits ...

About 38,664 into story

Purposely writing that first so I don’t forget it. Worthy title anyway. I will fix a word count box like I used to do. So that even if I don’t update this daily, I’ll at least get the words down. I like keeping track of how stories progress, even for myself. It’s like if I see the word count written down, and the amount I do daily, it just helps my motivation. I figure others might feel the same. I’ve been told occasionally that it does. I also get motivation from others. Am I the only one? Lemm...

Finally on Scorched Silence

Okay yesterday, as I figured, took a bunch of time to get my site updated. I love the blocks WordPress has, but for some reason things work much slower, especially when trying to update my all books page. When I have to move information, or copy and paste, then I have to save the page and reload it. So it takes a good few minutes to do simple switches.

Love the blocks, love the columns, don’t love the slowing down. That’s a continual gripe I’ve had with Facebook using that popup box. I only ...

Computers are against me

Computers are not my friend today. I have been working a bit today, mostly trying to get stuff to work, and sort it out. Desktop froze on me then computer decided it needed to update so I sat here for a good 30 minutes not accomplishing much, lol.

Over the weekend, Jotham’s interview of me posted to his newsletter. So if you want to check it out, you can read that here – https://mailchi.mp/163d3590d48d/jothams-monthly-newsletter-aug142021-kim_i?e=6bc5ea345d

Today, while I technically have...

Well I changed the title

So Jeanie was able to get to my horror short right away. She had a critique over how I handled something so I changed it up. Which led to her suggesting a different title. After playing with versions, I ended up taking her suggestion. So Light Above the Neighborhood has become Neighborhood Cleanse. I agree that it fit the story better and since it’s not as wordy, that’ll be another benefit.

So I got Neighborhood Cleanse up for sale on both Draft2Digital and Smashwords. Hit publish on Smashwo...
