It's been awhile since I've posted any update. I know that if anyone stumbles upon this blog it is most likely from a random source. That's okay. I'm just happy if anyone visits. I guess knowing that so little people have read my book (maybe 5 people?) I haven't made as much progress on book two that I would have hoped to by now. The first book was short and an easy read and I don't see book two being much different than that - I just don't have time. That's wrong, I do have time, but I'm really tired when I have time to myself and a day off of work. I love writing - it's what I love to do - but I have other hobbies as well that get in the way. Let's just say that by the time I actually self-publish book two anyone who reads it will think, "That's it? That's what took three years to write? It's not exactly 700 pages."

That being said, the way I work is kind of strange. I don't write an outline necessarily, but I write what I want to happen in the book. These ideas change over the course of actually writing the book. As your characters start to lead you in the direction they want to go everything you thought they'd be doing changes. This causes me to start over quite a bit. Now I feel I'm headed in the right direction. I just hope I'm right.

I'm still writing and what's best is that I'm at that point when I'm excited and having a blast. I'm a long way off from being done, but everything's going well.

I haven't been writing much lately because I got a job. It's not a part-time job or a full-time job, it's more in-between. I'm on my feet almost the whole time and I'm tired a lot, but I have had some great brainstorms for the next book and will be trying to write when I'm not exhausted.

P.S. The new Fast & Furious movie is incredible. Check it out if you like that genre.

I have named book #2 The Case of the Vampire Colony. I'm still in the midst of writing it and it will be awhile before it is self-published.  Especially since I am looking for a job. As my mother told me when I was a little girl (this is a paraphrase), "You can't just be an author. You'll need another job." Of course it's been a given that I need a job, I'm not exactly a successful writer. Maybe, someday...

Anyway, I've come up with some great ideas (I think) and will try to write as much as I can when I do get a job. :)

Just a quick note to let anyone who's interested know that I'm making (slow) progress on book #2. Also, the price of book #1 has been lowered.

Just posting an update.

I've been editing and re-writing two older manuscripts.

The last time I worked on book two of KSI I felt confident about the progress, but I haven't written anything new in some time.
