I'm happy to announce that I'm In the Cave! That's just a primitive way of saying
that I'm in writing mode; at least that's how my husband
refers to my writing time. I usually have to clear my calendar
to ensure I have no distractions from writing. My process is
to immerse myself in the story over several months which
helps me create the best story.
As an author I don't just write. I have several roles which
include graphic designer, marketer, and writer. The first
two roles take up a lot of my time, pulling me away from
my favorite role, writing. So I'm thrilled it's time for me to
go into the cave and create.
I'm working on Ascend, book three of my trilogy and hope
to have a preview ready soon. In the mean time, I'll share
a little of my writing process. The way I write is almost like
connect the dots. First I imagine several major scenes of
the story. It's not exactly an outline; just crucial events or
landmarks in the story. I daydream to fill in the story between
the landmarks. So even though I currently know some of
the major events of the story, I don't know the whole story.
I have to daydream it into being and this process is pure
joy for me.
Thank you to my family for your support and my readers for
your feedback. My writing journey has many frustrations but
being in the cave makes it worthwhile. I'll try to get in at least
4 hours of writing a day; sometimes more and sometimes
less. Feel free to comment; it's very encouraging to my work.
Since previews aren't currently available, I'll answer some
questions about Ascend. Please Click Here to post your questions
about the story so that spoilers won't be revealed to readers
who don't want to see them. Plus all the information is stored
in one place for the convenience of readers who do want to know.
Also, you still have time to enter the name a character contest.
Click Here to post your entry. I'll select a winner and announce
the character name when the Ascend excerpt is released. The
excerpt may even include a scene with the character in it.
Good Luck!
