Just an Update and an Explanation (So, Maybe it's Not All That Simple)

By
Hello!

           Sorry I have been away so long. I promise there are explanations.

A few things that have kept me from posting:

*Work

*I just graduated a junior college with an A.S. in Digital Video for film editing!

* Last week, I finally finished the first draft of my main WIP, (Sybil's Tale), after working on it for two years and four months.

*Family Life

So, yes, a lot of things have kept me busy, but I honestly didn't plan on being away for so long.
 Now that I have the first draft of my WIP finished, I can, (hopefully), work more on "Drops of Inspira", which is in the plotting stage of novelization.
 I'm hoping to have a snippet of it to share with you all soon, but I'm also working on world building this Summer for my main WIP.
 I've told myself I can't touch "Sybil's Tale" until November where I will happily prepare it for the second draft.
 In the meantime, my siblings have been pressing me to do some Rory's Story Cubes Stories with them, so I have one which I'll be posting, hopefully by the end of today, if not sooner. 
 If you're not familiar with Rory's Story Cubes, they're dice with pictures on the faces. They come in several different versions.
 Currently, I have: the orange starter set, actions, voyages, enchanted, intergalatic, clues and prehistoria.
 I'm sure there are many ways to play, but how my siblings and I play, is something like this: 

  *we decide on which sets to use.

 *we roll the dice.

  *we decide on what the pictures mean and compose a list that floats around our circle.

  *we use the agreed upon words in our stories.

  * all agreed upon words have to be used at least once in our stories.

  When we're finished we read them out loud to each other.

  Really, it's so much fun! 😊

NaNoWriMo Know Your Novel Introduction

This is my first time joining the wonderful  Christine Smith  and a bunch of other wonderful writers in her three-month Know the Novel link-up for writers in these final months of the year. I'm completely nervous, having never done anything like this before, but also very excited.  October's theme is  Introduction  which is the post featured today.  Earlier this month I announced that for the months of October and November I would be switching projects from Harbinger  to Tear   in honor of NaNoWriMo, using this month to prepare. So without further ado, let me introduce you to my novel. KNOW THE NOVEL: PART ONE: INTRODUCTION Q 1. What first sparked the idea for this novel? A 1. Well, most of my novel ideas, (no pun intended), come from questions. I had this question pop into my head, "Where does Writer's Block come from?" This story was born out of the quirky answer that I came up with. Q 2. Share a blurb! A 2. I warn you this is an ...

NaNoWriMo Know the Novel: Introduction

I can't believe it's already this time of the year again. Last year I joined Christine Smith   in her three-month Know the Novel link-up. This link-up starts the month before NaNoWriMo and goes through December. If you've been following this blog for more than a year, you'll recognize this series from last year. If you just started following me or are visiting this blog: Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. This month's theme is Introduction  and sets up the groundwork for what I'm doing today.  I've mentioned Harbinger  before. It's a WIP I've been working on for almost six years now. Over the summer I've decided to split it in three books, so now it's the Harbinger Trilogy. The working title for book one is called Sirens of Fate,  and it's this book I will work on for NaNoWriMo. I'm rebelling NaNo, meaning instead of doing this writing challenge traditionally and starting a book from scratch on November 1st, I'm using the c...

NaNoWriMo: Know the Novel Link-Up: Introduction

  *Happy squeak!* I am so excited to be joining  Christine Smith  in her Know the Novel link-up for writers in this festive season of the year. What festive season, you may ask? Why, NaNoWriMo season, of course! *Flings glitter.* Many years ago, I did my first NaNo and started my wild ride or writing and an intense commitment to the craft that has lasted until this very day. (Hopefully it doesn't end here. That would be tragic, and while I do love a good tragedy, I would like for my life not to be tragic. Thank you very much.) *Pull self out of hole she fell in.* Ahem.... Where were we? Oh yes. The link-up. Moving forward. October is the month where we introduce our NaNoWriMo projects to the world, so in the spirit of that, here is my introduction post. KNOW THE NOVEL PART ONE: INTRODUCTION: Introducing: Drop , book #2 of my Drops of Inspira trilogy. Q 1: What first sparked the idea for this novel? A: I actually featured the first book for this link-up series a few years...
