Chapter 12

Finished Chapter 12, so I'm glad about that...now I have the evil blank page of Chapter 13 mocking me as I just sit there staring at it and hoping something will come into my brain.  I know what has to be put down on it. I'm just having trouble of what viewpoint to use and how to start up the scene.  Hopefully I get it started soon as I really want to get this first book of Ashes of the Fallen done as I've not really worked on anything else.   I've been working on this book for a few years now.  It's had a lot of changes from the initial story which I just started writing without ever finishing it before I realized halfway through I was approaching everything wrong and decided to take it slower and not as fast paced as originally intended and I hadn't really built out the world.  I just had these characters in my head, who are no longer even like originally designed.  Unlike my Friar Fisher and Mordecai Lee who have pretty much stayed the same from original concept.  Even as I built up the world more so around my dark fantasy characters they didn't alter too much in personality; unlike in the Ashes of the Fallen series; where in some cases genders and such as well as fantasy races were changed.   I really am curious what will sell better, My Ashes of the Fallen Series or my dark fantasy series concerning Friar Fisher and Mordecai Lee.  Not much else to really bs on so I'll end it here for now.  And get back to you later on Chapter 13's progress.

And for those that are interested here again is a sample of me reading Wolves of North Wood.

Chapter 12 Almost Done

I'm so proud of myself. I got that scene finally written out and I am mostly satisfied with it.   I just have one last scene to write and Chapter 12 will be done and I can move onto Chapter 13.  My story is now at 27913 words approximately  I now only need 12,087 for it be considered Fantasy genre novel length, and 2,087 words approximately short for it to be considered general novel length. I'm tempted to end it on a certain cliffhanger but thinking maybe I shouldn't do that. I'll probably finish it with the original outlined ending and not do that; but tempted to do otherwise.   It'd be cool if I wrote passed the required 40,000 words for this; but I won't know until I come to the end of this first draft how long it'll be roughly.  

Lazy

I've been being too lazy lately; but I did work some on Chapter 12 of Ashes of the Fallen.  Other then that I've not been doing as much as I probably should writing wise.  I really need to buckle down more and at least get chapter 12 finished as I've been working or rather ignoring it for at least a month now.

What's been going on with me lately.

I know it's been a long time between my posts on here.  So I thought I'd update people on what's been going on with my writing lately.  And the answer to that is nothing.  I've been getting too easily distracted by other things.  But I got some ideas and am going to go back over what I've written so far for Ashes of the Fallen's first book.  I'm also going to have Horror of Hellgarde released now; but know that the cover may or may not be the final cover in the end as I'm still waiting on the artist and this is the cover so far as it's been provided to me.   I don't like to rush artists I hire as I want to treat them as professionally as possible.  Because I understand they have normal lives.  I'll update this post as soon as the book goes live.

A question I wonder is once I have the next book, Princess of Darkness done I think I'll have enough content that it might be worth looking into print copies and wondered if anyone would be more interested in seeing a printed version of all three works in one book rather then seeing it in digital form.  If so please let me know by commenting that you'd be more likely to buy my works if they were in print rather than digitally done.

Just Finished Chapter 11 of In the Shadows

I just finished Chapter 11 and things are getting good in the story I hope.   Not much else going on story wise, aside from having worked on the Lay of Keiken and Erienne.  Originally I thought I'd try to do it in standard Lay fashion; but found that too hard.  So instead I've written it out in more the form of a ballad instead.  It was just easier and less time consuming.  

I am now at 24,998 words aproximately.  So I only need to about 15,112 more words for this story to be considered proper Fantasy/SF novel length and only 5,012 words in length for standard novel length of general fiction or nonfiction.  

Not much else to say so I'll talk to you more later when I have more to say on my works.
