I'm back!

Hope you enjoyed my guest's company… a few more will show up this week, then you'll be left to yours truly's rambling. Which might slow down a little soon, so don't be too desperate, LOL!

So, how was all? Interesting. I've got work to do, but I'm very happy. As I slowly catch up on your blogs and work on my edits, I'll also work on my indie career. And I mean "indie" in the Sarah Polla sense. Unicorn Productions doesn't have a page yet (but it will), but you can check it on Smashwords and Lulu.

I might slow down blogging next year as I focus on writing (that's also why I left all those Goodreads groups that were only a waste of time), but I'll think about the new schedule and general reorganization through the next two months. I'm thinking two posts a week, plus the weekly vignette (let's keep the Happiness going! ) and Six Sentence Sunday.

I need to write more stories – they're cluttering my head – so I'll cut on whatever distracts me. So whenever some new social media frenzy comes up, I'll wonder if I'm not better off writing. Which I most certainly will. Writing and drawing and reading (possibly books, not blogs) and the occasional movie to relax. I'm workaholic, I'm not scared!

I've redone the blurbs of Books of the Immortals Fire, Water and Ether, but I've changed them only on Smashwords, as I still have to work my way to KDP (where I haven't uploaded the latest story either, by the way), so you can check the old ones here, here and here, and compare.

Here I'll do a sort of history of Soul Stealer's blurb and you can let me know what you think. Here is the original:

Planet Earth, one century from now. Population has dropped under two billion and mankind works for the well-being of the planet, backed up by computers and eco-friendly energy. But there are still people who feel greed, anger, envy and miss something they cannot have.

Beth is a virtual director specializing in 20th century movie stars whose latest muse is the hologram of Keanu Reeves. Until the soul stealers make her meet a flesh and blood man who looks exactly like her latest virtual star, but is even more damaged than she is. Will they overcome their blocks and differences to build a real relationship?

Here's what I came up with at the workshop:

Soul Stealers by Barbara G.Tarn

In a seemingly hydillic future, virtual director Beth Golden prefers the company of holograms to real people. When her latest virtual star turns out as flesh and blood man, she must learn to accept she can't control human relationships. But dark forces conspire to bring them together even against their will – someone on Earth has a secret agenda.

Dean said: Clunky. Focus on her, if it's her story and a romance. It's a love-story, but not really a "classic" romance. So here's what I came up with.

What if your favorite virtual star became a flesh and blood man?

In a seemingly hydillic future, virtual director Beth Golden prefers the company of holograms to real people. Someone on Earth with a secret agenda forces her to face the real deal.

Which one works better for you?
