Another Writing Update

I just reached 50k words in my WIP. The words are flowing, the scenes are making sense, and I haven’t felt stressed the hell out. That’s a good sign. I’ve recently released an anthology under my pen name, but I haven’t really marketed it because I’ve been too focused on writing the sequel to Ashes & Rubble, my action-adventure romantasy. If I stay on course, I can finish the first draft by April.

Another project I have in mind is a cyberpunk where I’ll get to do a little philosophizing. I’m really excited about plotting that out, but first, I need to finish outlining my Beauty and the Beast retelling. Overall, this is turning out to be a productive year, and as long as I don’t burn myself out, I can probably squeeze out another anthology before the year is up.

Writing Update

I just crossed the 20k word mark for the sequel to my Fantasy book, Ashes & Rubble. I thought I’d be further along, but there were other things I had to finish before diving back in. One of those “things” was an anthology under a pen name. This was my very first time hosting an anthology, and let me tell you, it took A LOT of work.

I’ve been thinking about writing a Beauty and the Beast retelling for a while now. I have a concept, characters, backstories, but do I have the time? The answer: not really. But guess what? It’s happening. That means I’m writing at least 2 stories this year as the world around me burns (3, if I work on the horror book I’ve been periodically tinkering with). How will I get them done? I have no idea.

I’m trying to be more consistent with my blog posts, but bear with me. This is hard work…lol. In the meantime, enjoy my latest conversation with fellow Fantasy author Katharine Wibell.
