I have read about authors say that having a detailed synopsis makes them write faster, but I was a bit skeptical. Well. They were right. My synopsis for Portal Justicar 2 is 2000 words long. Which I worried was too detailed for a 30 000-35 000 words novella and maybe it is but I don’t […]
The synopsis for Portal Justicar2 is done. Yay! The final word count is at 2100 which makes it the longest synopsis I have ever written. With the exception of the synopsis for Daughter of the Dark. But that synopsis was pretty bad, and rambling. This synopsis is much better. So tomorrow I transfer the worldbuilding […]
I am doing world building for A Shadow of Frost and Ice now. Today I began to think about where I get the ideas. It is to 99 % my subconscious. The notes I made today were a mix of things I learned at university and things I have read in the news. And then the […]
Yesterday, I sent the edited manuscript to Laura Anne ( and paid her.) I took the rest of the day off. Today I began working on the new shiny tentiatively titled A Shadow of Frost and Ice. AKA The plot bunny Ruth Francis Long gave me. It features Loki. Well. The original plot bunny did. […]
I am almost ready to publish Exile on Amazon, which is a good thing since Amazon is a big market. I am not going to hit publish today, though, for two reasons. A) I need to enter my Swedish tax number, since otherwise they are going to take a chunk of the money for US […]
Earlier today I remembered that Diana Pharaoh Francis Crosspointe books was re-issued last year, and decided to do a search for them at Kobo since I was checking up something else. They were. My plan to buy the Black Ship was derailed when I saw the categories it was in. Science Fiction and Fantasy, Fiction […]
This is pre-edits, but I hope you enjoy it. Moirin woke with a start, cold sweat running down her spine. She sat up and stared blindly at the dark cottage, still trapped in the vision. Her, a group of young warriors in a place that wasn’t the remote mountain valley she called home. A thread […]
Since there was no Wednesday Snippet this week and since it is Friday I thought I would post the opening paragraph for The Cauldron Bound. I have posted it before, but it is tweaked now. As he walked through the settlement in the early morning sunshine, Aodh was glad for his fur tunic. The day […]
I have made no secret that I am waiting impatiently to find out my sales at Kobo and Overdrive. I am still waiting for the Overdrive sales, but I got my sales from Kobo today. (At least for Sept-Oct.) They were non existing, which made me upset. I was pissed off and disappointed for a […]
For me Lightbulb moments always leads to more work. Most of the time, I like lightbulb moments though, since they makes the story better. Not this week though. Why? Because I realised that the story I was writing for the Shattered Ward was the wrong story. Yeah. It is most likely my own fault, […]
