Dreams Can Be Great Stories!

Dreams Can Be Great Stories

I have a list of topics I want to write about, but this particular topic jumped ahead of the line.

Recently, I had a crazy, weird, epic dream. It's too long to describe, and would be very confusing if you don't know me personally. But, it was intense. When I woke up, I kept thinking about it so I wouldn't forget the details of the dream. As soon as I had a chance I wrote down everything I remembered from the dream.

Okay, just so everyone is aware, I am not pretending to be some sort of writing expert. I'm just sharing tips and tricks that work for me. 

Writing Update #1

Writing Update #1

Another purpose of this blog was to have one place where I can update everyone on where I am with my writing. 

With two novels in the works, you would think I would be overwhelmed. I'm weird though. I'm extremely excited and thriving on the challenge of writing two books at once. I will work on one chapter until it is complete, then move to the next chapter of the other book.

Mordia Update - I have begun writing book 2 of the Mordia trilogy, entitled SILVER. The first draft of Chapter 1 is complete and I am almost halfway through Chapter 2. I am hoping to complete it by the end of this week.

To Court Death Update - The first draft of Chapter 1 has been completed. I am very excited about it and am gathering my thoughts on where to go with Chapter 2. This one is different than what I have written before, mainly because it is in the first-person point of view.

Since both these projects are still in the early stages, I won't be sharing any writing snip-its in this post. In the future I will be sharing bits and pieces of the chapters I am working on as sort of a teaser.

That's all for now!

Save Everything You Write

Save everything you write

I don't know if I was ever told by anyone to save everything that I write. 

As my mother and fiance can attest, I am a pack-rat. I save pretty much everything I possibly can. It's a sickness. I need help. 

BUT, this particular little "quirk" of mine has validity. Because of my pack-ratness (I know it's not a word. I just like the way it sounds) I started saving all my writing when I was in my teens.

Still Can't Call Myself an Author

I have been writing since I was ten years old.

Now I am twenty-four. I graduated with a BA in English, concentration Writing. I am the Marketing Coordinator at a great resort & spa. I just self-published my own novel entitled BLOOD. It is part of the Mordia: Search for the Lost trilogy. I am working on the second book of the trilogy, as well as a separate horror novel called To Court Death.

I still have a hard time calling myself an author.
