What really is Law of Attraction about? Let’s describe it differently than them.

Was thinking about this earlier and thought I would discuss it. Let me make perfectly clear I’m explaining it as someone who has lived it since I was a teenager. I am not a doctor, I am not giving out medical advice. It helped me to lose weight and for many things. I’m sharing my experience in a way that I hope makes it easier to understand.

At this point someone is thinking, “You lost weight because you worked out.” Yes, that’s true. I also lost weight because of the Law of Attraction. Howe...

Just a word count post today

Been super busy and have my hands full. Editing is all I have time for.

Today’s been a good writing day and then some

Today I received my final exam from my Creative Writing Course I’d enrolled in. As I mentioned, that story will be available through here for free. I just have to get it ready to release. I may have done so, but I’ll go check. I’ll let my newsletter subscribers know too.

Writing

It took a minute to get my brain into writing because I’d finished the last scene in a way that I realized I could add in a scene that took us back in the life of Sawyer and...

Just a word count and interesting channel

I’m getting loaded off of an iced coffee. :p Made it myself, stuck a chunk of Hershey’s Dark Chocolate in the bottom of the glass so the initial hot water could melt it then mixed it in. Perfect amount of chocolate. Okay, technically this round I used two chunks. :p

Recently I was mentioning that what can be now defined as “Law of Attraction,” has been a part of my life since I was a teen. I don’t have degrees that prove it works, I have a career, my health, my never aging darn self, and so...

So close!

I’m veering off where the outline had led me.

This is why I like the plot outline method that Holly Lisle lays out. It’s the one I followed for this novel, and the “outline,” I did. I didn’t have all the scenes planned out, I wasn’t stuck in a, “this will happen now,” and from being spontaneous I like to think that as a reader, there is surprise since I didn’t know what will happen.

And I didn’t, lol. I know the scene ahead of this, not this part. This part came about because I didn’t skip...

This will be a short update

Mostly because my brain is going all sorts of places and I still have to edit.

I will share what I just wrote on Facebook.

1,329 words for the day. Goodness. So we’re not just finding out that these aren’t typical “magic” type werewolves, but also seeing a more “normalized,” version (if there can be one). I mean, they take effort and focus to change their forms, and it’s not easy for them. So being that these individuals live in a world that it post apocalypse dystopian like, they’re suffe...

Discovered the opposition

Writing this, I knew that one of the antagonists for these creatures was gonna be humans and the government who wanted them back. But when I was playing with the idea and thinking about the landscape and things that may also prove to be dangerous, I knew that there had to something else out there, not just humans, that posed a danger.

Being that these are essentially werewolf like beings, they had to have a danger that was equal, if not greater than they are. Now, these aren’t typical “werew...

Seems they’re both facing it

Because of what Pyotr decided to do we’re getting to see both sides of the aftermath today.

I made it maybe halfway through my words today when I paused and struggled to figure out where I would go. One of those moments where I had a point A and a point B, but I couldn’t really see where to go between there. I listened last night to a podcast last night (this is the show linked at the bottom of the blog) from Holly Lisle on how to write middles, which ended up helping me.

This is the show –...

Whoops, did it again

I know, I change my site a lot. I have yet to truly find something that really fits. Got tired of the other one cutting my featured photos down. It’d look all out of whack.

Not much to speak on so I’ll have more tomorrow. More from lack of time. Gotta use the time I have to edit.

The repercussions

Now Kenley has to deal with, and face, the aftermath of what’s already happened. I don’t know for sure if anything is going to happen (physically) with her right now, but it will be curious to see if something comes to pass.

This is also a part that in my head I can feel the trepidation. Not from a character, but from me. That first part was seared into my head, now we’re into the area where I don’t know what’s to come. So I’ll have scenes ideas I work out, but the characters are on their o...
