In order to avoid completely cluttering up this community, I'll add writing updates in comments below this post.
You can basically follow me building my books, struggling with my characters and putting them through hardship.
I'm not sure how easy or hard it is to jump to the last reply in a thread, but I hope it's doable.
If you feel supportive, just give me a few yays or high-fives in a comment. 👍
Wrote 700 words for the Vampires - a new beginning for the story as the plot comes together.
A bit of a traumatic start, but it explains Leander much more. And Melody is tearing her hair out.
I also scheduled an author interview for February, read a new vampire book (might become a comfort book), and cooked a meal, which is big for me. In other news, it's been snowing all day. And I have to slog through it all tomorrow because it's an office day at work. grumbles
Going to share some Melody tonight.
“Are you even listening to me?”
“Of course.” Which was a lie, she was so tired. Her body ached all over, but worse was the sense of failure. Again and again they had failed to reach targets in time, failed to keep the Shades in check. It was beginning to wear her down, and that had never happened in her long existence. What had changed?
“Winston, we need to find another angle. A better way to protect those souls. Just fighting off the Shades and burning nests is not cutting it. We’re losing ground, you know that just as well as I do.”
