Changed mind

I decided to go with a much more simple cover image for my novel. I will be posting an image when I complete drawing it up. Stay tuned.

Busy

I am 45% complete with the short story, then I will need to get it to someone to read it over and edit it for me. I can't wait to finish off this one so I can get back to Angel. She is waiting impatiently for me to move her along.

Research is a writer's best friend

I have been doing a lot of reasearch on how to get a publisher and get my book published. First step is to get my writing published on the smaller front, such as literary magazines and so that is what I am working on. I am writing a short (10,000 word) story to submit to Prick the Spindle. I currently have 2,734 words down. :)

Chapter 2

I have finished 2 pages in chapter 2 so far, started the wheels in motion for Aingeals transformation and have lots of notes as to what I want to write next. Last night before bed I had an inspiration for a great way to get things going and made myself a note, skipped breakfast this morning to write instead. Munched on some Multi Grain Pringles and drank my coffee with the Peppermint Mocha creamer in it while I wrote.

Chapter 1 Finished!

I have completed the first chapter of my book and it is 9 pages long (6,981 words). I have started working on the second paragraph but I keep getting sidetracked. Need to focus!

Aingeal (angel) is really starting to show her personality and her new boyfriend is going to play a big part in building her up physically for what she plans to become, even if he has no clue as to her alternate persona.

This project is becomming so real to me now that I finished the first chapter. When I first started writing it, I figured it would be one of those things I start but never finish, now however I am commited to finishing it. I am super stoked about this and sure hope I can find a publisher. If not I guess I start by self publishing it on Amazon.com since they offer it free to publish Kindle books there.

Inspiration

Sometimes inspiration will come after a good night's sleep. I woke up with a great idea for my story. Made notes and now I know how Aingeal will get from point A-B since before I had her going from A-C! Oh and I introduced a new character.

Writing

I've found that trying to write a novel as a mother of three is quite difficult. Finding time to sit down and write can be nearly impossible so I end up making notes when inspiration arises and then when I have the time I work on writing the actual story. It's been about a week since I started and I have nearly finished the first chapter (4, 600 words so far) and Aingel is on her way home. I know that I will not become a famous writer, but all I hope is that there will be at least one or two people out there at really enjoy my book.

New Story

So I have started writing a new story, it's about a young woman whose life was turned upside down one night when she was attacked and tortured, it transforms her into the Angel of Revenge. I have completed the front and back covers and nearly completed chapter one of the book. Here's an image of the cover for it, minus the spine text.
