Well, it's not Nothing

1/12/12

I've got to try and remember to add dates to these entries, because the maker of this lovely template felt the need to leave them out. Anyway...

From this moment on, I hope, all references to "An Indigo Feather" will now be "The Calling of Blood," or COB, respectively. Honestly, I don't know why a reasonable title eluded me for so long. I like to think this title makes a lot more sense than the last. With the whole Changing and multiple references and significance of blood and all...

Woo! So that's done. :)

It May Seem Silent

So, AIF is completed on Fiction Press and Adult Fan Fiction. Now what?

Well, I will finish uploading the two other Lyre stories and I think I'll throw the Narcissus story up there as well, just for the fun of it. Meanwhile, I will be editing and querying. It might seem like I drop off the face of the Internet, but I assure you, I'll be here. Whenever I have some breaking news, I'll be sure to post. If you're more curious than that you can check out my non-writer blog on Live Journal, my name is socky_mojo there. Should warn you though, I've had to up security on that and now it's friends-only. Or it should be... Check it, if you care to: http://socky-mojo.livejournal.com/

Wow, apparently someone does read this! :) Yes, there are sequels planned and new ideas to be made. Stick around!

Too Much on My Plate?

Actually, I like to think that the plate is just too small for what I got going on.

So I've gone and thought of more ideas for stories, stories that will need serious thought and research. Have I finished my other projects? Nooooooo. Why would I do that? Where's the fun in that? However, this has given me new bursts of energy to do that much more editing when I want to stop for the day and level my blood elf death knight.* I've been reading a lot lately. Not just "research" either; neat reference, history and how-tos. The how-tos kind of amuse me (a whole little segment telling me to first and foremost figure out my setting and characters lolrly? thanks I guess I'm on the right track... ^_^), but they do kind of also help get my juices flowing. Oh, oh and my friend gave me a book on cryptography for Christmas. Be prepared, people, be prepared!

*I'm not kidding. I have one of those, currently at 79. So close and yet so far!

Happy New Year!

S Novym Godom! <-- That's me saying Happy New Year in Russian, but with English-speakers in mind. :P

Hey look! I updated before the end of the year! Huzzah!

I am getting a lot of editing done. Woo! I'm going to be writing too, as soon as I update this and my lj, if it lets me on. Mayhaps the coming year will be awesome and productive since I am being awesome and somewhat productive right now.

See you guys on the flip-side!

The End

2011 is nearly over! What do I have to show for it? Well, not too much...but I did get a few things done. However, I need to get my booty in gear on quite a few things. Which brings me to my point of this entry.

Things Getting Done:

 - AIF is about complete on Fiction Press. I will leave it up until it is published, I think. The new edition is going to be off the chain. New title, new content--wow, guys, this is becoming what I had always envisioned. The new title is something I've mentioned before, but this is the first time telling of new content. Whole new chapters, filled in plot-holes and more interaction. Seriously, when this is published fans should definitely procure a copy.

- Almost all of the Lyre Westreach stories have been edited for upload onto Adult Fan Fiction, just need to upload... Speaking of Westreach, a new story will be added that wasn't on GWF. Personally, it's my favourite and I think harkens back to my earlier stories of him when he was darker and not just Demian's sugar daddy.

- I'm picking At Life's End back up, finally. For those that don't remember, sorry. I only uploaded one or two chapters of it. It's a shape-shifter story. Anyway, I'm writing on that, will finish and send off to query.

- Trivial Visions, sequel to AIF, will be finished and sent off to query. I think I'll release a sample chapter sometime, but it will be further down the road in 2012, maybe even 2013, depending on how the next year treats me. Here's hoping it's kind! *fingers crossed*

- Blood Pudding should be getting written on. Hopefully I can finish this. Maybe I need to watch some K-Drama to get me in the mood...

- World Weaver is back under the knife. I'm coming at it with a different approach this time. Thanks to people like Stephenie Meyer and the Casts, any love I may have had for teenage heroines has died of vampire-inflicted VD (seriously, this is one of many reasons why slash is more fulfilling for me to write.) Thanks. I think I am going to make it more steam punk. It makes since, considering Alistair and everything...

End list

I need to read some, write some and then perhaps I can publish some. :) If I don't write again in the week, see you all in the next year. :D

Yaya, It's December!

I don't really get why Livejournal keeps me from my blog, but whatever. I suppose that it's sort of good. Otherwise I couldn't be bothered to update this bitch. So what's going on with me? Well, I am editing and about finished with some test runs for one of my novels and it's ever closer to being ready to send in for a query. Woo! Oh, and as for free stuff, I am going to publish my Lyre Westreach stories online. Probably just on Adult Fan Fiction because they tend to border PWP. You guys know the drill, it's under "Coco Reed."

Giving It Up For Free

Wow, it's been awhile. Well, it's been longer than I usually like in between updates. I don't even have that cool of an excuse aside from the "Meh, I'll get on it" one. I will say, though, that I believe I am going to post the superhero story, called "A Shaky Peace," on my Fiction Press and Adult Fan Fiction accounts. It's not really anything I can publish at the moment. If I did, I'm thinking it would have to be rewritten so much that it would have a new plot and what not. So, yay for good reading online! For free! You can't beat that with a stick, guys. And anyway, you know the drill. I'd love to hear what you think of it--yadda yadda yadda. So, check there. It should be up soon. Like, real soon. I'm going to post it right after I finish this entry.

Out.
