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
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

Yes, the day has finally come. I will finally show you the reaction that came from the perspective prompt. This prompt is the one that started the craze of writing I have been battling with for the past 45 days. I have made major modifications to Rose because this prompt sparked an… Continue reading Perspective Prompt
Writer’s Sketchbook 4
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
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

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
