I’ve Got This!

With the horrific loss of 10 chapters of my ‘Dynasty’ novel, I’m left with only the Prologue and first 2. Upgraded my writing app to Daedalus, that offers syncing with Icloud – and also exports as various file extensions such as ePub , which is needed for easily formatting IBooks for e- readers. (Note: Smashwords does not accept ePub files made from Daedalus! That is the end result from fighting all weekend with it.) 😦

I’m too dumbfounded at the moment to continue working on the Dynasty novel – with only a few chapters left til the end of book one, I just can’t bring myself to start over quite yet.

So, in the meantime, I’m expounding my creative energies into a new direction – a Dark Fantasy Romance. I’m quite taken with my new characters already, and the ‘love’ story they have to tell – I’ve entitled it, “The Darkness Awaits”.

I’m also completely finished with my Erotic Short, “The Dirty Witness”, and planning to upload it as a free e-book through SmashWords, hopefully by the end of this weekend. I’ve used one of my photographs from my play into Boudoir and Glamour Photography as the cover, I think it looks quite grand!
I’ll be sure and share the link to my erotic short once it’s live as a e-book.

UPDATE: HereThe Dirty Witness is now available for free! All good things come to an end, and when we’ve hit 200 downloads for The Dirty Witness the FREE promo will end.

1,750 words on The Darkness Awaits! I write quite slow, editing, re-reading as I go.. It’s my process. 🙂

Assignment Time

Given myself a 6,000 word short story to write, pulp fiction or erotica (we will see what form it chooses to take), heavy on the descriptive raunch and short on the dialogue. Almost a assignment. If I like the way it turns out, ill do it up as a $1.99 e-book to self publish. I think a week is a fair amount of time for 6000 words, don’t you?

After a few minutes of meditation, I started writing. Within moments I had a well defined character take form in my minds eye, & a story line jumped out at me as I scribbled frantically. A good hour and I had almost a thousand words on paper, & what this short story chose to be, was Erotica. Wowee. I’ve almost blew my socks off.
Only 5000 more to go, in 7 days.

In between breaks from my Dynasty Novel I’m scratching out, (yes, a Dynasty Novel. She started as a Novelette, turned into a Novella, & quickly imprinted herself as a Novel. More on her Novel Self in a proper post, hmm?); as I was saying, in breaks from Miss Dynasty Novel, Ill be resting my mind with a refreshing wordiness of wholesome Erotica.
