Swan book - Wingless
Greetings, well met, hello the internet!
(Hmm, that rhymes.)
I have been less present here because a) I am on twitter and it's distracting, and b) BECAUSE I STARTED WRITING THE SWAN BOOK AND IT IS AWESOME FUN.
Okay, that's a little bit of a lie. I pulled teeth to get 4500 words into a first draft in third person before I gave in to the manuscript's insistence and rewrote the beginning in first. It works much better, and a week later I'm 7k words into the new first person draft. It is now awesome fun.
I also decided on a working title: Wingless. It'll go with Heedless and Fearless for books 2 and 3 (it's a closed trilogy). Haven't decided on a series name yet, so as a collective they'll still be called the swan books, but for now book 1 is Wingless.
SO EXCITED.
(PS: Just got back from FOGcon this weekend and had a fabulous time!)

(Anonymous) 2015-03-12 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)From what little I've heard about the Swan books, they sound fascinating and I'm so glad writing is going well for you. I can't wait to hear more and if you ever need someone to rant at, bounce ideas off of, or read a draft, just let me know. :)
By the way, is it safe to resume (non-serious, friendly) communication?

Re: :)
Thanks! I'm having great fun.
Also not sure how much you'd like this one . . . it's definitely horror. I may have just finished writing a description of a pretty gruesome dead body.
I'm still sort of in hibernation. Therapy is . . . going. (I mean, it's a good thing, it's just also all I can handle right now.) Thanks.
