So because I'm human, I made a boo-boo and the cover for Venus Aspiring
is incorrect LOL. It says book 4 instead of book 3. But I promise it's
only book 3! That's so not the end of the quartet, I promise! =D It got a
bunch of downloads yesterday so I hope that everyone enjoyed the free
promo! Please, please, please leave a review. It means a lot to me, both
personally and for my popularity on amazon. People with more reviews
get more face time on the site. That's just how it works.
Meanwhile... I'm a writing fiend. Trying to get as much done before
January when my job gets super busy and I'll be working longer hours for
the next few months, which means a lot less time for writing. I make
overtime, thankfully, but it does mean my output when it comes to
writing is going to be effected.
I will definitely have
Being the Maid done before the end of
this month. I think I'm about 2/3 - 3/4 of the way through the final
chapter. It is LONG, as I mentioned in my author note on Ch. 9. Someone
commented on Chapter 9 that I should have just ended it there... but I
didn't cut it off for shits and giggles or because I wanted to draw out
the storyline, I cut it off because there's a lot more story to tell and
a little bit of a cliffhanger is good for the soul. I'm wrapping a LOT
of stuff up, not just Garrett and Bridget's story, but everyone else's
stories too. I always hate it when stories end and you only know what
happens to the main characters and the others are dismissed as if they
weren't important at all. I've completed the Princess' section, I'm
about to do Samuel's. I have to figure out where I'm going to work in
Blaine's. And then the very end will be what happens with Garrett and
Bridget. It's a LOT to write and Chapter 9 would have been way too long
if I'd made it the last chapter. This chapter is going to be super long
as it is.
I'm a little bit nervous about it being the last chapter, because
sooooo many people have told me that this is their favorite story from
me so far, and that always adds to the pressure. That seems to be
happening a lot lately, and I love that everyone loves each series that
I'm putting out and thinks that each one is better than the last, but it
does make coming to a satisfying conclusion a little bit more
anxiety-inducing for me LOL. I keep thinking "oh no, what if people hate
it? what if they don't think it's a good end?" etc. etc. So far I
really like what I have though, and usually that's a good sign, if I'm
not getting upset with it.
As soon as I'm done with
Maid I'll be working on finishing up Witch
before moving on to anything new for Lit - although I might throw
another standalone quickie or two in there if the characters start
bugging me too much. The gay male piece that I submitted a few days ago
was like that; the characters have been in my head literally for MONTHS
and then I read a gay male short that I'd gotten for free on my Kindle
and the characters just kind of took over and were like no, you're
writing us now. That happens sometimes. Rowdy characters in my brain.
I've started on
Venus Transcendent, the beginning of the end... I'm also working on Winning Hand,
the last book in the Poker Loser series. I was hoping to have the Poker
Loser Trilogy done by now to be honest, but Hilary and Liam kind of
took over. Now Allison and Todd are clamoring for my attention pretty
loudly so we'll see how well I manage to split my time. I would like to
get Poker Loser out first to be honest, although part of that is I also
think it's going to be a shorter book than Venus. Either way there's a lot
of writing going on. I'll be posting teasers to both of these on their
respective pages very soon, definitely before the end of this month.
Although the very first thing I need to do is fix the
Venus Aspiring cover. *sigh* I hate it when I do stupid things LOL.
