The Bauble Pile

This is Lale Baize aka Coco Reed, writer and once co-author of Gamble with Fate. As of now, this is the first step to putting my goodies back online. Stay for a bit and enjoy what you find.

Greetings!

And exactly one month since the last time, I am updating. Woo! That takes some sort of talent to do that without trying.

So I don't know why I got it into my head that the COB manuscript needed to be less than 100k words, but I have been dreading having to cut once I'm done with the second edition. I've been trying to think what could go, where the extra fat is. Well, I am pleased to say that there isn't actually a maximum. It has to be 15k or more. I'll still edit the crap out of it ('cause I actually think that part is fun) but now I can write to my heart's content, add all the plot I've thought up to flesh things out. So far, so good. I want to post a snippet but I can't decide which passage to choose.

Nothing else of mine has seen much light, that's going to be published anyway. And that's where I'm at. On writing the new Chapter Fourteen and at around 103-thousand-some words.

Out.

Are you about done with COB? Or can you give a rough estimate of when it will be done? I only could read the first few chapters, and goodness I'm beyond excited to read the finished product if the rest of the story will be as good as the beginning!

Hi!

Sorry for the delay! I didn't receive a notification about a comment. I can't give an estimate but COB is being steadily worked on and hopefully done soon. I can't promise anything after that, as that will lie with publishing houses, but I feel good about the possibilities of it getting picked up.

Thanks so much for popping by. I sometimes wonder if anyone's out there. :)
