My two writing retreat weekends have been very productive. I am almost done with revising Vanished. So far I have added 2000 words, I think I will probably add another couple of hundred words, before I am done. Then I need to do a clean up, before sending it to a betareader. Then, I am […]
I am revising Vanished and it is mostly solid. Well. Until I reached the part were I slid in the set up for the next story and dropped the ball. It will take rewriting a paragraph to fix that. Oh, and I need to write another 12000 words for the second story. Which is how […]
Right now, I am slowly working on the worldbuilding and outline for the Silver Hand. I just love this world, and the story.The story is more complex than the Portal Universe and every book have multiple POV. I will need to work faster, since I have a packed schedule for the rest of the year. […]
I have been coveting Kit Rocha‘s sidebars for a long time, especially the ones on her book pages, so yesterday I asked Bree Bridges on twitter, which plugins she used. She told me she used Advanced Custom fields and PHP to create templates. The moment she said PHP, I knew that was she was doing […]
For the last couple of weeks, I have wrestled with the next book in the Portal Universe series. Except, it wasn’t jelling. The notes felt unstructured, rambling, the outline felt dull (which is because it is the wrong story). I still, I kept on trying, until yesterday when I decided to put it aside, and […]
A couple of weeks ago, I realised that Erwan’s book should be released before the written but unedited book that I thought would be published after Daughter of the Dark. Which basically wrecked my publishing schedule. I can fix it, if I revise The Wild Hunt or type in Frosthold. Which I probably will. Now to […]
My mum turned 70 a couple of days ago, to celebrate we travelled to Madrid. Which turned out to be the perfect way to spend Easter, in my opinion. It was sunny, but not too warm, we got to eat a lot of food and explore the city. Since I was asked on twitter to […]
After 2 heavy revisions passes and finishing a novella in the last 7 months, I am taking a well earned break this week. I am doing the small things. Buying books, reading books, doing administrivia in preparation of fun things( ESTA! Restaurant for mum’s pre-Madrid celebration!). Could I have taken a deep breath, and began […]
I am about to do worldbuilding for the version of Sweden that will be the setting for at least two series. It will involve a lot of research. From history to folklore to administration. Not to mention deciding how much history changes. Do I keep everything and just adds magic? Or do I keep somethings […]
After 3 months of revising, I have sent in the revised manuscript to Laura Anne. Woot. In the end, I added over 10 000 words. It isn’t perfect, but it is much better than it was before. Still some rough spots, though. Now I am going to clean and read lots of books. Have a nice […]
