Writing Update

By


 

Hello Everyone!

    It's been some time since I've done a writing update on here so that's what I'll be covering this time around. I'll be dividing updates between three categories: School, Poetry, and Sirens of Fate.

    So, school....

  • I have a poetry explication paper due April 8th. I just started writing it this past week. I've selected Bethany A. Jenning's poem, Diamonds from her book of short stories and poems, Severed Veil. If you navigate to the Reviews section of the blog, you can read what I wrote about it.
  • At the end of this month, I have a research paper due for my Introduction to Shakespeare class. I still need to pick the topic for that.
Poetry news:

  • I've continued to write poetry as I've gotten inspired, but I have yet to write this month's poem for Poetry 15th. 
  • I need to ask someone in the writing community about how to go about writing/ compiling a poetry book. 
Sirens of Fate:

  • This is the first book of The Harbinger Trilogy. I just finished a theme search for it to make sure that I have the right theme for the entire trilogy. That theme will remain a secret for right now, but I'm excited.
  • This next month, I've securing the character arcs for the trilogy and making sure that they are what they should be before going back in and tightening up Sirens of Fate before sending it off to a developmental editor.
  • I'll be working on SoF (Sirens of Fate)  for CampNaNoWriMo this month. I've set a low goal of 1500 words because I'll be writing those school papers.

That's pretty much it for now. If I accomplish all of the writing I have planned for this month, then I think I'll be doing good. We shall see.

Until next time....

    Some days, I miss my college classes, like my Shakespeare course! So interesting.

    Ooooh, poetry collections are fun! I particularly like the published ones that include artwork alongside the poems.

    Have fun with the novel!

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...
