Creatures of the Forest

Another blog post, this time advertising the blogs and stories of a few of my friends. So... Not much else to say. Let's begin.

Reina (CaptainDecus)

Reina writes twisted horror, fantasy, and dabbles in Historical Fiction. She was one of those avid fans who's continued to stay and interact with me. I'd recommend Khaos or Fool's Gold on Wattpad if you want to read her work. FG is about pirates!

Katrin (KatrinHollister)

I look up to Katrin for writing advice and also for great stories. Her specialty is fantasy, and it shows. My favorite story of hers is The Windcaster, and she has another story, Rise of the Vengeful Dragon. I have yet to read the latter, but The Windcaster is definitely worth the look. Both stories can be found on Wattpad. She also makes delectable cakes that look drool-worthy. Recipes can be found on her blog, as well as info on frogs!

I shall return eventually with more blogs to share... as well as more story plans and book reviews. Stay tuned!

Write, Write, and Write Some More

Greetings, readers. It's been a while since I've posted anything and I have some things that need to be covered. So I'll cover all my stories and the timeline I've set myself right now... let's begin.

The Last Nephilim

Still working on rewriting this one, although the process has slowed considerably. Now that it's summer for me, I have more time on my hands... which means more writing time, maybe. However, as of this moment, TLN isn't that high on my list of priorities.

Which leads me to...

Clinker Girl

You'll be happy to know that I'm working on this story. As it stands, CG has a basic outline (one that I will most likely stray from) of what will happen and who dies and everything. I know how I want this story to end. Additionally, I plan for it to be a two-book series. The second book's outline is almost done. More details will be released after CG is done.

Other novels

If you've noticed my Wattpad page, you'll see that I've had a couple other projects: Project Imitation, The Phantom's Bones, and Polaris.

Polaris, I'm sad to say, is getting deleted. I've lost nearly all motivation for it and honestly, I don't know where to end it. Besides, Fantasy and poetry has always been my forte, not Teen Fiction.

Project Imitation is also getting deleted, but for another reason... one that will be revealed later on in this post.

The Phantom's Bones is going to have REALLY slow updates. It's a bit different than what I normally write. It's more dark and lots of confusing things happen in the story that won't make sense unless you can piece things together. But that's how it's meant to be. It's meant to make the reader think.

So where does this lead me?

A timeline, of course.

Now - June 30th

I'm going to do what I can with CG and with the TLN rewrite. There probably won't be a TPB update in this time period, but I don't know. I also plan to finish my first leg of beta-reading for Rebecca Sky in this time.

July 1st - July 31st

This is Camp NaNo. The second leg of it, to be exact. I plan to take part, and what WAS Project Imitation is going to be worked on. It's going to have a different title and a lot is going to be tweaked, but it is was PI was... sort of.

The only thing is that this story WILL NOT be posted on Wattpad. Small excerpts will be, of course. But I am not posting the entire story. As I've been looking into publishing and writing in general, I've decided to become more serious about the things I do. Wattpad is a great stepping stone and all, but...

That is a story for a different time.

Anyhow, most story updates will be put on hold until Camp NaNo ends.

August 1st - September... something

In this time I hope to finish CG and the TLN rewrite. This is before school starts for me again, so I want to get as much as I can done. This is still in the far future, though, so nothing is set in stone yet.

NaNoWriMo (Probably November)

By this time, Clinker Girl will be done and so will The Last Nephilim. I still haven't decided which sequel will be written for NaNo, but I think it'd be best to start Clinker's sequel right away. Hence, CG's sequel will most likely be my NaNo project.

This is all I have for news for the time being, guys. Stay tuned!
