Now that it’s been a month since my last post, I suppose it’s high time I put up another one. I didn’t mean to take a sabbatical but it just – well – happened. I’ve been spending a lot of time lately writing and editing my books I am writing. A Year with the Potters is nearly edited. I have two more rewrites and then it should be done. Christine is almost through one edit and ready for a read through.
Grandmother’s Letters is coming along well… I think I am about halfway through writing it, though, I am handwriting it and I am way behind on typing this time. It’s a good thing I type fast. For your reading pleasure, here is a very short sample (I know that you have read this part already, Jamie, but it was the only part I could decide on today):
The old man glanced back and let out a very slight chuckle. He took great pride in his aquariums and it was rare that anyone really saw them. The few who had seen them showed very little enthusiasm or appreciation for them. In an uncommon fit of hospitality, he offered to allow the young girl to see them closer. Mrs. Moore accepted and passed the threshold with her two children.
Natalie immediately hurried over to look at the tanks, being careful however to touch nothing. Each aquarium had its own style of unique decorations, created by the old man himself. One had a medieval castle, surrounded by a moat of blue rocks, only crossable for the three inch knight by the ornate drawbridge. Another had ships full of angry pirates fighting a trio of European pirates over a sea of blue and white marbles. Still another had ruins, imitating those of the Romans, spread across tan rocks and decorated by tall trees. The creativity seemed never ending, and Natalie was fascinated.
I also have three more books in the works… Two of them are mostly in the character development stage and the other one is just in the very beginning so far… We’ll see how they go! :)
To the KING be all the glory!
THREE more books!?!?!?!? *faints to the floor for five minutes* How will I ever read them all?!?!?! Make sure these other books don’t have so many characters as ‘Grandmother’s Letters’. *wink*. Glad that you’re out of that corner you were in, about working on one book at a time…It’s much more fun working on five books then one. Believe me! I’ve done it! ;P
I started my ‘Two Knights and the Princess’ book–couldn’t resist. I think it will be the first book that I actually thought through before I started the first chapter….sorta thought through, anyway. We can talk more if you would answer one of our emails!!!! lol
Also, once you’re done editing your books, maybe you could keep working on mine. lol. :P (I think Nechet is waiting to read it!)
