We have finished this one and now to the next

Finished Discovery of an Enchantress today at 75,492 words. I was going to continue tomorrow, but the more I looked at that last line, the more I was all . . . no. This is the end of this book.

I could’ve continued, but as I was pointing out to my friend Ange the other day, there is a gut instinct you get for that last line. Gotta trust it. The book will tell you when it’s done. And in this case, the last line was this:

“I know you who are.”

It refused to be anything else, and told me – that...

Low count, but totally fine

Not too many words, but the reason I’m okay with it is because for anyone following this blog, they’ll have noticed that I have been doing nearly 2K or some days over that.

And for the often asked question: Do you have a writing goal?

(Always ask any question you like – I’m happy to talk about the process, even if you’ve never seen the answer.)

Yes, and no. I try for 1000 per day in an hour.  That is my official “goal” I go for daily.

But if my story is flowing well and I’m not distracted, I...

My word, I’m almost done with this book

Can’t even believe it. I’m not sure where else the story will take me but I am nearly done with this book. I’m not too worried if I stop anywhere around here. In edits, I’m capable of putting in 20K words sometimes and I know there will be areas where I want to add in Kat scenes more in the beginning. Mostly because as I stated earlier, I thought it would be a good idea to merge Kat and Mila into this one, then Kat, Mila, and Ky into the third.

So I’ll see (in edits) if there are a few areas...

Hopefully this is set up correct

I am nearing the end of this story.

At this point, I’m a lil’ tired of the world, haha. I’ve been reading the past books like crazy to refresh all the thoughts, ensure I’m not repeating information for a negative reason. And then I’ve written 2/3 in the series (I’m at 71K+ in this story, which leaves me less than 10K-ish to where I may end) and in the next week or two I’ll be done and moving into the 3rd. Which means by June. Dang. It’s already June.

Anyhoo, at this point I’m a wee little ti...

Setting up new lists

Lemme try and write this up quickly. Don’t have much time. Yes, I was bad yet again not getting this posted yesterday. As I told my editor, I got up late which set me behind. Wasn’t even that much later than normal. I have avoided everything today but my phone I use to listen to music, lol. That way I don’t have to focus on anything but the task at hand.

I’m going through and setting up new lists and information for my newsletter. Since I have had to go through the GDPR situation I finally de...

Time just keeps slipping away

From Friday,

It really does. I feel like I’m in a version of The Twilight Zone. I was thinking about that as I was on my way to bed last night. Or rather, trying to fall asleep after a long day where I tried to get a lot done and very little was accomplished in the grand scheme of things.

Which seems to be a huge theme right now. And I’d like to say it’s just me, but it’s not, is it? So many people keep getting behind, or not getting as much done as before. Or if they do, their lives seem to...

Got a glimpse of Mila’s life to come

I appreciate all the comments about yesterday’s post. Happy that so many found it worth reading and commenting. Today I’m dealing with a lovely headache that just won’t go away. Aleve is usually my final go-to when all else fails and even that hasn’t made much of a difference so I’ve been taking it easy.

Had to print out Discovery of an Enchantress today. Figured it’d been a bit so better get it done. After going over this old story that has been haunting my mind and finding out that 200 of t...

Reach out

Communicate. Open up. Tell people how you feel, what you’re thinking. Stop holding it back.

This is not permission to be cruel and mean. Communication isn’t screaming, putting down, belittling, trolling, etc. Communication is using words to express our truth in an open and honest way without purposefully hurting another for personal entertainment and gain.

This morning different things happened, which coincided with this topic. And then I came across this video. Then later in the afternoon, I...

The Queen is back

Now they’re gonna have their hands full. Not only has Mila made Kat feel better and given her what Kat truly needed (earth’s energy – magic, love, whatever you’d like to call it), but I think this is gonna make Kat feel better than she has in a while. So . . . ya know. Look out?

Let’s face it. When she’s up to par, Kat is pure trouble. And her daughter is missing, in trouble potentially, and momma vamp is not going to sit by and just twiddle her little thumbs. Not when Kat is incapable of tha...

Loss, upheaval, loss.

It’s amazing how many losses one can go through. Every single year I’ve suffered a huge loss since 2015. 2017 was emotionally nutso and the energies too. It was exhausting. I was hoping 2018 would be better. We are now at May and I’m just tired of all the changes and exhausting losses that keep happening in my life.

Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot to be grateful for and many of those losses were things I’ve chosen. I don’t regret those choices. I don’t do anything in my life without thought...
