I am doing an editing marathon this weekend. The goal is to have revised at least 40 pages by Sunday. I have done 18 pages since yesterday, so it should be doable. If my brain doesn’t go on a strike, since it is unhappy right now. Well. It will just have to get used to […]
One of the first fantasy authors I read was David Eddings. I enjoyed his books, and went on to read more fantasy. 2-3 years ago, I reread the Elenium books and I still liked them. Between those two times I had begun to write my own books. As a result I really, really wanted to […]
I am still in my editing cave. I have no idea how long I will be there. So updates is bound to be scarce. Except for the Book I am waiting on feature, since that is easy. Cover+ blurb+ squeeing. I can do that even when brain dead from editing. Except I forgot this […]
I have procrastinated on the edits by making a very basic map of Dhurig. It is very much a work in progress, since it is my first map. I might post fancier one in color later. In case you have read The Cauldron Bound Melare is basically the combined territories of The Portal Clan and […]
I am in the middle of revising Daughter of the Dark, so I thought I would share some random thoughts. My editorial letter is HOW LONG?! deep breathing Ok. I can do this. Doesn’t I mention that alreay? Checks. Yupp. I DO. I guess, I should clarify that. Flesh out the worldbuilding? Hm… Ok, she […]
I am a writer. I am lazy, and I am really out of shape. I have back issues, and leg issues, not to mention that I need to lose at least 5 kilos. I have been pondering renewing my gym card for a year. Yesterday, I stumbled upon a video of Hugh Howey doing the […]
I discussed the sales in my last post. So I thought I would discuss the mistakes I did in this one. The first mistake I did, was to not send The Cauldron Bound to an editor for story editing. Don’t get me wrong. The story is solid, but it could have been better. On […]
So. Since it is almost 2016, I thought I would discuss the sales of my short stories and novellas. (Spoiler: They are pretty low.) Exile: 28 copies, 14 from Amazon, 14 from Apple. The Cauldron Bound: 11 ARCs, 8 free downloads, 17 sales ( Amazon). The Alchemist’s Apprentice: 6 free downloads, 12 sales ( Amazon), […]
So. This drabble popped up when I was helping mum today. The ad: For sale: Crystal table. One slab of rose quartz, created by the finest artisan mages on the order of Queen Titania. Almost as new, except for a slight scarring in the left corner. Sold due to too many painful memories. Price: […]
I discounted The Cauldron Bound to 0.99 during December since I wanted more people to read it. I promoted it on social media and had a few sales. There are just that many times you can tell people to buy your book before they want to stab you. So I decided to spend some money […]
