Writing Updates…

Time to do some serious… serious… writing updates.

I put on my serious face just for this occasion. *serious*

UNSEEN CHRONICLES: Some of you have noticed there is a new tab above labeled such. I am posting those as Serial Fiction now… so you can read them anytime.

I have written eight chronicles based on true stories to total close to 30,000 awesome words. Hehehe, hey, it’s my story… and yes I think it’s awesome!

I have six other story ideas which would probably bring my total up to novel length… But I think I am just going to continue posting them on here until I figure out what to do with them after they are all written. Because there really isn’t a genre for “Religious Paranormal True Stroies from an Unseen Speculative Perspective…” or maybe there is? Hummmm….

As always, if you have a story you want to share with me about the Unseen hands that helped you through a situation, let me know. It’s MUCH more fun to write for a person then a situation. Hard to explain but the three chronicles I have written recently have no personal attachment to myself and they don’t seem as exciting as the others. However, they are in the resting phase, so maybe when I read them again and edit them they will change enough that I can get super excited about them like the others. Maybe.

THE RINGS OF TIME: It’s still with Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest… I will know Thursday if I made the first cut. Their loss if I don’t. If I do… well, then I wait some more. This is a waiting game… till June. JUNE! Boy, what was I thinking? I am not the most patient of people, this is going to be a real growing time for me. (Book 1 of Mandorian Prophecies)

No querying for this yet, though the query is written and perfect (if I can be so bold Hahaha!). So if ABNA doesn’t pick it up, I can send it out to procure an agent.

THE SECRETS OF MANDOR: (Book 2) Is still being edited. I am about to give the editors email address out so he can be bugged by more then just me. Gosh, why does editing take so long? Oh yah, I know, it’s cuzz he is taking out all of my THATs.. and maybe a few JUSTs… okay and maybe one or two MOMENTS… but really. COME ON! Ahem… Yes, he is reading. *waves*

REDEMPTION: (Book 3) Title still in progress, but that’s what I am calling it… It will probably end up being a four name title like the other two… Who knows. But it’s being plotted. Well, sorta… not actively though. I write down notes here and there.

RUNAWAY CHOICES: Looking excellent… Around 52.5K words… Would be more like 53 but I had one of those nights that I hated everything I wrote and deleted it. Yes, I deleted it out of the WIP. I did save it, but its not part of this MS. I decided… errr rather my characters decided to go a different way… only AFTER I wrote the dang scene transition… I wish they would speak up MUCH earlier then they do. I mean really… 600+ words down the drain for what purpose? Still deciding.

NONFICTION STUFF: And yes, it’s stuff… plural. Hmm, what is the singular of stuff? Never mind, don’t answer that. Haha.

Umm so yah, I have some nonfiction ideas. I have actually thought about starting on a couple of them recently but haven’t stepped over that threshold yet… but I will Lord willing be stepping over soon. And maybe even sharing some exciting bits of news regarding this avenue. We will see… totally not in my hands right now.

KIDS FICTION: I also have this fantabulous idea for a boys series of books… But I have to flesh that one out with my boys And they aren’t willing participants yet… so really this shouldn’t be in the Writing Updates but more of the “Somewhere down the road when my boys are old enough to pay attention” category.

I wonder if that will ever happen…
