Sigh. Finally Chapter 1 is done for City Of Mirrors.

I think i've finished chapter one for City of Mirrors. the word count is around 3400 at this point.
yey me. today added another 503 words.

I think that's enough for now. Gotta work out the next flash back which starts the next chapter.

Kay..

Working on a new (for me) writing style, and City of Mirrors update.

So I added another 405 words to City of Mirrors, yey me! I'm about to introduce a new character. ^_^

In related news, i think for Nanowrimo i'm gonna try and write the story out completely as possible without dialogue and then go back through and fill in the dialogue. Just an idea.

thats about it for now. Still haven't figure out what i'm doing for nanowrimo this year. sigh.

Laterz!

Plot danger and beasties!

So i'm starting to feel that i've gone from making my story bigger to making a different story all together. It seems to be a thin line between the two.

In other news, filling out my beastiary and i'm at like 20 races? i need more, more i tell you!!!

k laterz!

Okay so i've got a plot problem...

I rcently decided to add the Alice in Wonderland plot to the City of Mirrors book and it incedentaly cut out the romantic plot line for the MC. Now i have to figur out how to get a copy of a dead persons memories into the antagonist/love intrests brain. sigh... hmm maybe i can have him try to steal the bunny then get possed, then have the sister die, then have the other sister get the bunny?
...
But then the sister kinda dies for no reason..
..
oh! or maybe the sister dies so the guy can get the bunny instead of losing the bunny first and then dying? sounds good!

and that folks is how i write a story plot!
You're Welcome!
^_^

CIty of Mirrors: Writing Journal #1

Hey,
Here's the first entry of my new writing journal for City of Mirrors.
Now I've already made some progress on writing the story and it been sitting at a word count of around 2466.
As far as notes go i've got some written down on paper, but the ones i've got in word processing run around 1480.
Today i added around 264 words in notes. So i'm up around 1750, yes i'm gratuitously inflting my word count. yey me.

Also yey me i didn't realize that i'd written the intro seen to the "vampires" which i was having trouble (writers block).

I've been keeping you updated about my issues with feeling my story's to character interaction driven and not enough action or dramas.

SOOO, i've decided to switch my backstory around a bit, in order to add more drama to the present of the story.
What does this mean for ya'll possible future readers. it means that there's gonna be a heavy Alice in Wonderland theme running through the book, which will carry over a bit into the book featuring Aideen and Miyuki's story. sigh. Hopefully this'll be the only major adjustment that i'll have to fit in.
I;m just happy that i hadn't written anything yet that adding this woulda required a major rewrite.

That's it for today. later i'm gonna reread what i've got since i've obviously forgotten most of the written story.

Anways, smooches!

Oops, it's been awile!

KK,
So I moved to the Big Island, and have been settling in.
My goal is to finish a book by November 1st, so i'll be able to start a book for NaNoWriMo 2014.

I've been lazy tho and i haven't written even one word yet, although i have been doing some research for additional drama and action.

I'll be trying to finish City Of Mirrors before November and here are some changes I've decided to make:

Added an Alice in Wonderland action plot line.
Ran into a problem with the Fey and how long they can stay on Earth and why...sigh that ones gonna give me writers block, i just know it.

Guess that's about it.

Gonna try to do a Blog Journal thingy on my writing progress. It'll try to be someplace where i update ya'll on my word count and my process and tribulations of trying to get this book done.

Wish me luck!

Hmmm...demons, councils, and other story ideas....

So i just finished reading the Sentinel books by author Suzanne Johnson, and i found myself engrossed as always by clasifications and how they can be used in forming councils for dynamic story plots.

Since i've been wanting to add some conflict in my stories other than bad guy of the week i'm super interested on twisting this my own way.

I'm thinking i'll put it into use with a demon series.
My werewolves stories have a council but it focuses on dynamics with in that society only.
My wildcard series has city councils of god-avatars, but they don't have an overarching neccesity to work with other cities or have a world wide network or council.
My overarching multiverse has the "elemental" "gods" as a tye of council, but their use is more of a flavor or spice adding effect.
My curses series has the supreme being of my multiverse, but he doesn't report to anyone or need to nessecarily have alliances.

So this leaves me with using the idea for demons.

Why not use the idea with the fey(which i'm seperating from elves, btw)?
Because the way i'm using the already established courts mythos.

Mybe i'll do something with demon angel hybrids? or demon human hybrids? idk yet but it's churning. main goal would be to have the mc become involved in the politics of the demon realm(unsure yet if thats literally placed in a demon realm or what...). Would like to take some insperation from the Ao No Exorcist series. we'll see. i'd rather not have the deamons be exorcist movie deamons...

Well thats all for tonight, and yes i know i keep changing the spelling on demons and deamons...lol typing is so random.
Laterz!

Upcoming Projects for 2014!

Kay so I'm moving at the beginning of 2014, and my plan is to begin writing after settling in.
I've got 5 projects in the works, as those of you who follow the blog know.
My main focus will be on "Wild Cards", "Seeds of Prophecy", "Curses", and "City of Mirrors".
"Heart of Stone" might end up becoming a novella, since the writing style i'm planning on using for it is a bit "fluffy". lol

Anywasy, see. ya'll then! ^_^

UPCOMING POSTS: Hey, all. ^_^

So, I haven't been posting things in a minute, but i have been working on stuff. (^_^)
I've got partial outlines completed for "City of Mirrors" and "A Heart of Stone", yey me!

I wanted to start showcasing my writing a bit, but I'm hell'a lazy, and i'd like to present a completed work..andchargepeople...no freebies!!! lol, but seriously all of the books i've started work on are parts of at minimum 4 book series. That's a lot of work to put in for someone like me who can barely get out of bed in the morning, plus any excuse i can find myself for not doing anything is what makes my world go round, so i think about things like eventual sales to give me a reason not to do things. sadface (>_<)

SOOOOO, what i'm gonna do is start a new blog series, tentitively tittled, "Ask TheLostSigns" where i answer the questions of fictious characters and give them my own brand of real life advise. It's gonna be a hot mess.

I'll also be posting another "Writing Supernaturals" in the next few days. I hope it's a good one since i'll be writing about a subject that makes me akward in real life. See random euphimisms in the post.

While i'm trying to do these on a weekly basis I'm gonna figure out a series of "free fiction" i can write for my blog. Hope fully it'll be something i can turn into a series of ongoing oneshot fic-bits that won't neccesarily be about characters you'd like to see in a full book. I.e. you'll be satisfied with a bit of story that has a biggining, middle, and end.

Wish me luck! ^_^

Update: City Of Mirrors -A Gate's Crossing Novel-

Worked on the book a bit this morning and finished the prologue. gah,
 for those of you who don't know i began writing the story down on my computer on April 8th 2012. And as of today the word count is around 2100 words and i have completed the prologue and am part way through the first chapter. Don't ask me how far because i'm having organizational issues.

Anywasy that about it for now. IF i do a bit of editing i'll see about sending the prologue around to interested parties.

Smooches.

City of Mirrors? Where's the mirrors?

So yeah i realized that i kinda spaced on the whole villian part of the plot. He's not really doing any of the things that make him so important to the story, so i need to figure out how to get that into the mix.

I did however decide to cut back on the Hero's "powers", and am still working out why he's immortal, since if it's just based on his supernatural charcteristic there'd be a bunch more of them (immortals) running around then i feel there should be.

That's about it for this series.

Still doing stuff...writing

So yeah i'm still doing stuff with my writing. I have like no focus most of the time.

Update wise, i made a "document" for the therapy series i wanna write. should be fun since i wanna set it up like case notes, and have the dialog/scenes be transcribed recordings of sessions. I.E. it's just gonna be talking without anything resembling descriptions of what going on.

On the Gates Crossing front I hit another road block in the first chapter although it's set up a bit better this time so i should be able to write myself out of it.
i'm thinking i should go in and writ the prologue and 1st chapter cutscene, before i start moving foreward though. also i need to fleshout my plot a bit. It's pretty muc a straight shot from the start to te end and i think it's a bit more stuff to make it interesting. More of the sense of really telling the story and not just streamlining it so it makes sense to someone who knows whats going on, i.e. me, lol, which is where it's at now.

Planning on going in and jotting down ideas for the Omoria series, before they dissapear completely from my head.

Mirror Mirror series is on hiatus because i'm a hot mess and i have to much stuff in my head right now. @_@

I'm gonna try to add to the "companion" books when i umm feel like it? but hopefully a bit more often then i'm doing now. They're for my reference first and foremost so i'm not in a big rush about getting them finished since that's kind of an impossible goal. Plus editing them all the time would be time consuming.

Thats about it for now. kk. smooches!!

Hmm, New Scenes for "City of Mirrors"

Worked on "City Of Mirrors" a bit, and was surprised that a number of scenes needed to be added.

I was under the impression that I knew exactly how the story would unfold, but i guess it's easier to know what happens when you know what happens..>_<
lol

Hopefully I'll be working on the book somemore soon. ^_^
