Elizabeth has moved all of her Dark Fantasy and Dystopian books (with a bit of Spice) to the pen name of Eliza Delmar.

Elizabeth is known to be a "Plantser, as she creates stories with little to no planning, gathering inspiration from songs and images.
From short stories to full length novels, Lizz is most comfortable writing Fairy-Tale/Light Fantasy with the odd Space Sci-Fi and Paranormal story.

Being a mother of three, and married to an elevator mechanic, she's constantly kept on her toes. With her three children having heart conditions and autism, it's a miracle she can find the time to express herself through writing.

Hi Sora. Great question.
I find that the most appropriate answer is "the one I'm working on now". I find that every new project I work on is more enjoyable than the last.

But If I had to choose one, I'd have to go with Little Big Of Magic, which is a short story I wrote a few years ago about a girl who finds a family for herself around the Christmas season. Here a link to the automated story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrBSQ...

But if I had to choose a novella or novel? I'd probably saw Red's Heart Part One. It was a fast write, and was one that I found myself getting lost in. It was also the first novella I've published and it pretty much started my journey as a writer/author.(less)

Hi there!

This is a difficult question to answer. I know how hard it is to keep focus on a story, I personally lose interest every time a new story idea comes to mind.
Something I do, is I write all my story ideas down, so I don't forget them, and so they're less distracting.
If the issue is loss of interest, and not being distracted, then I recommend plotting. What I do is I'll sit down and write out some scenes for the story on cards. This gets me excited again because I'll be thinking about the story, where its going, how to get to that point, etc.

I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you want any other tips.


Edit:
You could also listen to music, go for nature walks, look at art, think about your story in the shower, etc.
Inspiration comes to each writer (and story) differently. See what works for you.(less)

August Update

I Received Draft One In Book Form!

Even though The Vampire's Fall isn't ready for print, I formatted and ordered the first draft as a proof book so I could read through and mark it up. And oh boy, does this baby have some red pen marks in it. A lot of spots where I need to add details, a few changes to be made, and some chapters to lengthen. But all-in-all, I'm happy with how things are going. I ha Read more of this blog post »

The book felt very slow-paced but well thought out. The friendship that developed between these characters felt natural.
I was a bit disappointed with the climax, but I feel it also fit the theme of the book and showed how clever Olli truly is.
