"Does it mean he's coming or do I need to change the bulb?"
Wherein Jack makes plans, reveals secrets, and is generally her geeky self.
I don't make New Years resolutions. I wish I had some good reason for this, like they are overrated and I make little goals throughout the year which lead up to big ones by the time the new year comes in. But if I am honest it is just because I am lazy. I did make a few goals though. I am going to finish The Broken Blade this year. (GOING!) Well, that one is kind of cheating, because I am either on the last chapter right now or the second to last. But it is going to be a completed goal, so cheating on it shouldn't matter too much, right? Another goal is that I'm not going to be so secretive about my writing. I kind of went overboard on trying to hide spoilers. I am going to find a happy middle, somehow.
And, to start that wonderful new goal off right, I have some writing news! It was kind of asked me, but oh well. One of my readers asked about the sudden disappearance of the Loyalty books. Remember that book? Published in June? A Stretch of Loyalty, first in my fantasy trilogy - full of elves and dwarves and spoiled princes? Aw yes, that one. Well, for those who read it, you know it kind of ended on a cliff hanger. (In my defense, it wasn't a bad cliff hanger - as those reading Abolished will see.) But being a reader I understand that a cliff hanger is still a cliff hanger, whether it is leaving Sherlock alone in a pool room with Moriarty and a bunch of assassins or whether it is shoving him off a building and letting his best friend believe he is dead. Doesn't matter, cliff hangers hurt and the sooner they are resolved the better. *Cough, got it, Moffat? Cough, cough.*
The good news to Loyalty's cliff hanger is that I do have book two written, and I am currently reading through it. When that is done I will be sending it to my beta readers - if they want it and are still speaking to me. *Waves sheepishly at them.* So yes, book two is going to be released! And, if I am able to keep up with it, it will be released the same time as book one. (And for those of you who don't remember the date you can just ponder till I officially release the release date.) I am exciting for book two, mostly because of the cover. To be honest, I had more fun doing Loyalty's cover than the Haphazard ones - Fantasy covers are just a lot of fun. And I have things planned for book two's. You know, when I can find someone insane enough to stand in front of the camera for me - again. This is starting to pose a problem, I'm running out of friends. (No, they are not getting arrested for standing in front of capitol buildings with swords, nor are they getting run over by cars standing in the middle of the road. I don't have many friends, so those I do I take good care of.)
Coming soon, probably my next post, I have a new writing scheme to share with everyone, one I am very excited and pleased with.
In a bit of a side note, I've noticed my geeky side showing up more and more lately. I finally convinced my mum to watch the 10th Doctor even though 9 is her claimed favourite and she didn't want to watch once he died. "It is the same Doctor," I had to keep saying, "he just changes his face, it is a Time Lord thing." "A what thing?" "Time Lord. That is what he is. It was his - Alien race..." (We've had a lot of conversations like that. You know how when you talk to Whovains you say things like Dalek, TARDIS, Jack Harkness, 9, 10, 11, Judoon Platoon on the moon and they know what you're talking about? My mum isn't there yet.) "And he fought the Daleks-""The who?" "The Daleks." "Which are those?" "The robot Aliens who scared Nine when he met that one dude who got the whole in his head." "Oh yeah, them." Never fear. Leave her alone long enough with me, leave anyone alone long enough with me, and you will have a Whovain before the week is out.
One of the things I am known for in my family is my on going complaint about the moving Sleeping Beauty. We all have that one Disney Princess we can't stand, and she was mine. I always thought it was silly, the way she "died". "Oh look, needle. I'm going to touch it." Who does that? Well, I owe her an apology. The other day I came across an old spinning wheel. I thought it was cool so I went to get a closer look and when I was really close to it I was filled with an over powering urge to....touch the needle.
That is all. Except that I have been working on updating the pages about my books. An example of which you can find HERE!! The rest you can find by clicking on the other books' pages, I am just rather pleased with The Broken Blade's.
Quote is from the Doctor Who Christmas special, The Christmas Carol, when the ship Amy and Rory are on is crashing and Rory is trying to get in contact with the Doctor.
Allons-y!
