In the first part of this, I mentioned having a dream that inspired the [potential] idea for a story. Dream that turns into story idea – follow my creation of this story With that post, I mostly just left it vague, general, and all over the place. I was talking about questions to ask, ideas toContinue reading “Narrowing down the idea”

Cheyenne
Rather than always posting to my socials, here’s some fun pics of Cheyenne. She is a Shih Tzu. Harassing her while I’m working on this outline. That hair! She needs to be my stylist. I’m trying to outline a story I’ve had done for years, but always put off rewriting. Because yes it needs aContinue reading “Cheyenne”
Discovery of an Enchantress paperback
About to hit publish on the paperback for Discovery of an Enchantress. First try = perfect. Here are some of the pictures on what it looks like. That means in the next month, it will filter out to the retailers. The blurriness is camera takers fault, not the cover itself. User error only.
Thoughts as I go
This is for my series and posts that I began the other day. Last weekend, in fact. My first post around how to generate plot, how to develop ideas was here – Dream that turns into story idea – follow my creation of this story I was thinking, I should add a couple things as IContinue reading “Thoughts as I go”
Dream that turns into story idea – follow my creation of this story
Two things to address before I go into this. One, I don’t mind you playing with this idea below, just don’t offer for me to use anything. You can ask my help for you to develop it to write yourself, but I won’t take your idea and write it. I’m happy to help you pursueContinue reading “Dream that turns into story idea – follow my creation of this story”
Random old pictures
Photos of my dad. If you look closely above, those glasses aren’t part of the mask. They are his. He put the mask on, then his glasses over that. lol This is a photo on the wall in my brother’s room. We have a small montage of photos and items from his Navy days. JustContinue reading “Random old pictures”
Writing/Journaling prompts
Instead of just using these on my own blog, I thought I would share them here. My plan had been to use them to write up a post about each one so if I end up doing so, I’ll link below. If you do, I’d love you to drop your own. I take no creditContinue reading “Writing/Journaling prompts”
Got the digital format up
Okay, just about to get started in on the paperback for Discovery of an Enchantress. See if I can write this up before I’m called again from the living room. I just posted the first chapter (previous blog on this site) on here, and over on darkmoondynastyuniverse.com too. Also quick note on that while it’sContinue reading “Got the digital format up”
Final sale of the year
Gifting an eReader? Got an eReader? Wanna grab some of my books? I decided to participate in the Smashwords sale again. All the books that are FIRST in my series are free. If I missed one, lemme know. All the rest of my catalog? 25% off. Which means that many of the books are actuallyContinue reading “Final sale of the year”
And we begin
I decided for now I will call the novel Discovery and Deception. If that changes, I’ll be open to it, but if not I plan to just leave it as is. No point in trying to rename something I have a name for, and even if not the best, it works. Bonus of self-publishing booksContinue reading “And we begin”
This morning it hit me.
Figured I should write this while in a positive mood versus negative, lol. Positive Kim is yay! Negative Kim is I hate the world. What good is it? lol You relate well I know. Partly the positive is this – *squeals* and it was posted two days after my birthday? How did I miss thisContinue reading “This morning it hit me.”
Thought I better get an update on here
Been pretty busy with work and just trying to keep my head above water lately. I feel like many of you could relate to that. Seems like December is a toughie for far too many. I imagine with all that’s going on, and then having to deal with being cooper up at home, not beingContinue reading “Thought I better get an update on here”
Gearing up for the next book
That erm . . . I don’t even have a title for yet. lol I have it under a working title, which is the one I use for my notes and outline notebook. That is, “Doppelganger,” since it’s basically the entire idea behind the story. That the two women don’t understand they have a literalContinue reading “Gearing up for the next book”
Completed Guardians of The Void today
Wasn’t sure if it’d be today or tomorrow. Didn’t sleep well last night so that too was a concern. How well would my brain work? lol I have been on a nice emotional ride with this darn story. A lot of moments here and there where I would tear up, so then on top ofContinue reading “Completed Guardians of The Void today”
Nearing the end of Guardians of The Void
I started to write Guardians of The Void on August 24, 2020. I am nearing the end of it. Not because I’ve been writing faster, truthfully. Just been having some really good writing days so that I’ve been able to get in over 2K words. Maybe it is a tiny speed up. It hit meContinue reading “Nearing the end of Guardians of The Void”
New post up on DMDU
Conversation up on Dark Moon Dynasty Universe website. A conversation between Julian and Kat. For those who wish to avoid spoilers this is best read between Dark Illusions and Dynasty of Moirae series. Kat was on her way past Julian’s office when the door opened. “Will you come in here for a moment?” He tookContinue reading “New post up on DMDU”
Getting ready to go over Fury
Editor sent Fury of a Queen back. Said there wasn’t much to change so I will be going over the book shortly, then getting it ready for publication. I am almost at the halfway point with inputting changes from Discovery of an Enchantress into the digital version. I am hoping that I am able toContinue reading “Getting ready to go over Fury”
May be changing the title
The more I write in Guardians of The Void, the more other words for Guardians are popping into mind. I keep thinking about Keepers. The meanings behind the words are a big deal to me so Guardians works, but Watchers or Keepers keeps coming to mind every time I go to use the hashtag and/orContinue reading “May be changing the title”
Knew I’d forget
I did. Totally admit it. Not only did I forget to fix the comments right after publishing as I said I would, (done!) but I also forgot what I was talking about. My eyes were getting blurry. I was beyond tired by the time I posted the blog the other night. At that time ofContinue reading “Knew I’d forget”
On final read through
“Technically” I started the final read through with Fury of a Queen last Friday, but since I only did a few pages, it’s a waste to consider that as a start. Working on the paper form of War of the Lycaen, and having this as a final series, I am trying to go back andContinue reading “On final read through”
