Rewrite? Yep. Update? Yep.

 

The best designed cake ever.

 The only thing that would make this cake better would be if my name was written on each of those tiny books. LOL

A new twist to stay on track.

 Just finished approving the new covers for my novels The Secret King, a Christmas Season in Hell, and Premeditated Pandemonium. These covers are on a completely different aesthetic than the old ones. With every turn in the road we need a new twist to stay on track, and 2020 has thrown us some hairpin curves.  Feel free to post what you like about the new covers. 

The new untitled novel has over 49,000 words so far...

 Just finished chapter 15 of my new, yet to be titled, novel. My story plot has grown from my first plan. After I finished my plotting. I realized that there was a sequel in the story. It may end up being three books. I will take 250 to 300 pages and make that the first book, and keep writing. I have 49,000 words so far and from what I'm seeing in my head I have only scratched the surface of the complete story arch.

People are always asking me if I'm a plotter or a pantser. My answer is complicated because my way of writing is a bit of both. I start writing. At this point, I have no idea what my story is going to be about. I'm pantsing. After I write for a while. I stop and profile the characters I have created. As I write my plot comes into my head, and it will because I think globally. I write down the plot points as they come to me until the story arch has formed. I'm on Chapter 15 and my story arch has completely formed in my head. It's time I jotted down those action points. So as you see. I actually do both, and a true pantsers will say I'm neither. Perhaps they're right, because I have my own way of doing it. I'm neither right nor left brained, I'm a whole brained person. My mind works best when it sees the whole picture at once. And yes. I have been tested... like a guinea pig in a cosmetic factory. LOL.

New novel started and looking good

 Hello all, I'm back to writing again. I've just finished chapter 7 of my new novel, 17,250 words and counting. Granted they are short chapters and I'll go back and fill in the good stuff later. Great things are on the horizon. This one is really different. I plunged into the world of the supernatural and having a great time doing it. In the vein of "Stranger Thing," it's set in 1969 and three teenagers recklessly take off on a road trip to see the bands play at a place called Woodstock, New York. Little do they know the dangers that lay ahead and the weird events which will follow. 

More new later.
