Shadow Demons

Shadow Demons Update

Book 4 is starting to get interesting! I’m a little less than halfway through the rough draft, and this is the part where I really start to know what the story is about. I always start with some idea of what’s going to happen in the book, but somewhere along the way, everything changes. When I start a new book, even if it’s part of a series like this one, I spend the first few weeks being absolutely certain that I have no talent and that this book is going to suck. The story doesn’t seem to be coming together…

Good Start To Shadow Demons

Tonight, I finally sat down and got started on Book 4, Shadow Demons. Getting started is usually one of the hardest parts. I always struggle with finding the right place to start a novel, but in the end, I always end up rewriting the beginning. Every single time. So this time I’ve decided to stop stressing about the beginning and just enjoy writing. Enjoy getting back into Harper’s world. My plan is to write at least 1800 words a day. I know this book is going to be a little bit longer than the others since the story continues to…

Ready to Start Book 4

I think I’m addicted to writing. I mean, I always loved it, yes, but now that I’m actually out there publishing and getting feedback and reaching out to actual readers? I’m addicted. I want to write more and push the boundaries of my own imagination and creativity to try to write something better than anything I’ve written before. Now that Book 3 of the Peachville High Demons series is out, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Book 4. Even though I’ve given myself a week off, I still am thinking of the characters all the time. This weekend,…

Book 3 Official Name Change

When I published Book 2 of the Peachville High Demons series, I was sure the title of Book 3 would be SHADOW DEMONS. As I was writing the rough draft, it became clear that the title didn’t quite suit this book. It turned into something different from what I was expecting. SHADOW DEMONS seems now to fit better with what I have planned for Book 4. I have been brainstorming a new title for Book 3, and I have finally made a decision. BITTER DEMONS. I need to go back into Book 2 and make the official change. I’m hoping…

Possible Title Change and Pushing Myself

When I finished Book 2 of the Peachville High Demons series, I decided to call Book 3 SHADOW DEMONS. My thought at the time was that since I introduced more about the shadow demons in book 2, then naturally book 3 would take that a little further. I also had one specific plot plan that just hasn’t made its way into the book yet. I’m thinking that what I originally thought book 3 would be about is going to be pushed a little bit more into Book 4. Sooooooo… I’m thinking that the title SHADOW DEMONS doesn’t quite fit anymore…

Quick Update

I’ve been woefully scattered lately, especially when it comes to blogging. I’m a little behind on my rough draft for SHADOW DEMONS at the moment, which is pretty much screwing me up in everything else too. The book is by far the most important thing to me right now! My plan was to finish the rough draft by Feb. 1st. Seeing how I only have about 4 days left until that point and about 25,000 words to go on the book, I would say it would be a miracle to meet that deadline. What does this mean in terms of…
