Rose & Thorn Coming Soon!

14th November 2016 alliemay

    Back when I started this blog, I was working on a novel that was supposed to be part of a trilogy. That novel was called Rose. It was a retelling of Sleeping Beauty set in modern-day France because I love France.    Unfortunately, the story didn't end up panning out. There wasn't enough content… Continue reading Rose & Thorn Coming Soon!

The Middle

21st September 2015 alliemay

    I'm hitting that point in the middle of my writing where I usually get bored and pitter off. You know, that almost halfway chapter of Rose where I realized that there wasn't enough to the story and so many things needed to change before I could finish, so I stopped and moved on to… Continue reading The Middle

Writer’s Sketchbook 4

5th June 2014 alliemay

    Still being contained to typing, I was not able to finish the next chapter tonight.  Instead, I started my character sketch on the next most important character in the story, Daisi De La Fontaine.  While minor, she still plays an important role in the book and I felt bad that she was excluded.  Plus,… Continue reading Writer’s Sketchbook 4

Writer’s Sketchbook 3

2nd June 2014 alliemay

Over the weekend I discovered that one character is growing more and more important in the overall plot of the story, and I decided that it was increasingly more important for me to do a character sketch of her in order to aid me in my writing.  This is going to be a fun character… Continue reading Writer’s Sketchbook 3

Writer’s Sketchbook 2

20th May 2014 alliemay

    After rereading my second chapter I realized I didn't do a very good job of talking about my characters.  Then I remembered that I hadn't yet done my writer's sketchbook for either character.  So I spent all day today thinking about the two main characters and their personalities.  I knew I had to… Continue reading Writer’s Sketchbook 2
