WOOF! Total chaos. And cold.
I didn't know where to start. I know I could start with...DECEMBER WITCHES!!! For those over on Amazon.co.uk, Darkened Soul, PIECES OF A DARKENED PUZZLE was on sale. While it was a short story collection dealing with various parts of the Darkenverse that makes up my book series, it also had a few stories (and novella) dealing mostly with the #witches in that universe.
It could be #read at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Darkened-Soul-Pieces-Puzzle-Collection-ebook/dp/B017DWXLD0. And there will be other #december witch sales throughout the month. Like DARKCHILDE...which also dealt with my witches...also on sale at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Darkchilde-Darkened-2-LaTorre-Mays-ebook/dp/B01JGQ3ISE. Nice e-books just in time for #xmas. ;)
As for how the week was going...besides that cold and chaos of December...let's talk about it. It's time for EDITING, TYPING, AND WRITING.
EDITING. Sadly, I have not made it back to my short story to edit. Life has been life-ing. Again. What made it very interesting has been that it has been a matter of time.
My mind had gotten used to being able to work on writing stuff in the evening with life stuff moved to the morning. And then...it all moved.
TBD how I will handle it. Though my mind continued to consider where to place my short story when I was done.
Meanwhile, I have been getting great research time in at the #Library for THE BREAKING OF CIRCLES. And getting some more of it done. It was still a long way to go. But...a start.
TYPING. Hmmm...while it was also a matter of time. I found the typing problem has been that I had so many things to work on. A spoil of riches.
Another draft of my short story. My next blog for my blog space. A new project that I started on. Not to mention another potential creative project on the #horizon. BUT...I still have to finish all that I'm working on.
Time to make a definite choice.
WRITING. Writing has been great.
I had been talking about how my mind had been debating showing some of the darker side of the #restaurant industry through my main character Alicia. But she was so squeaky clean. Slowly, but surely, I've been going deeper into her. Building to it.
Regardless of the chaos in my life, my writing quota was still being met. Going beyond it in fact. That made me smile. It meant that I was focused. It also meant the story had a build in it again, which I admit that I was worried about.
And...then I realized it. I had hit the #middle of my novel. WOW. I know I had the ending in mind, but the middle? It was a sign that I was now closer. I had made a turn on the writing road. After all, if I can see the middle, then I can also see the end of the novel. #progress.
The last few days I've been writing some interesting scenes. They have been #resonating. Or as I like to call it...echoing. Yep. I see some of me and my current life in them. Yesterday's scene brought up some surprisingly unresolved issues from the past. Who knew?
I wondered what I would #write today.
That was how the week was looking.
