Project 1: The Rose Locket
I have officially sent the manuscript out! I will continue to edit it and work on small changes, but now it's a waiting game. I will also keep sending it out, so there’s more chances of it being accepted, but I am ready for the possibility that the novel’s journey might not include traditional publishing. But for now I will just celebrate that I've gotten this far!
Project 2: The Queendom of Hunters & Roses
Nothing new to report here. I am focussing more on my prose writing than my poetry.
Project 3: The Heirs of Red
I more recently really got into working on this story, so I think this will be the next one I release. I am still writing the first draft, so it might be a minute before it comes out… sorry! But while editing TRL, some of my favourite scenes are the ones with Rosella and her foster siblings, and it inspired me to get back into this story. Especially after M3LDB where we meet the first three kids, I thought this one was a perfect sequel since it introduces Felicity, the final foster sibling that comes to live with the Pizarro family.
Felicity is one of my favourite characters (not a big feat since I love all of them), but I just love to see how she grows, which is more obvious with a character like her since we meet her so young. She’s only 8 in this story and 10 in TRL, and eventually we’ll see her as a teenager and then as an adult [not anytime soon, but there are plans ;) ]. This story also gives insight to how dangerous it can be living in Roman’s world.
I have fully outlined this story and have started to write it! But I think I will shift more focus to THOR for now, but who knows. Maybe you’ll get another two stories back to back :) Although, this one will feel a lot less interesting than THOR, because there's less action and it’s more of a slice-of-life moment.
Project 5: My Three Little Daisy Buds Going Underground
I finished M3LDB!! You can find the whole story here. So now I’ve shifted my focus to this new story that I have already outlined in lots of detail, meaning all I have to do is sit my ass down and actually write it. This story takes place right after APITW, so before M3LDB, THOR, and The Outside, and is really just something fun I wanted to write to add colour to the gang world in TRL. Because it’s not super important it might be a second before I actually write it, but it’s a fun project for me (as all of these are) so who knows.
Here is a timeline to show when these projects take place chronologically:
