Excitement for the Release of A Touch of Darkness & Other Updates

 The release of A Touch of Darkness, an urban fantasy written by Tina Moss and yours truly, is getting close, and we are getting super excited! At this point, we are working on scheduling the blog tour stops, and other publicity, including a couple of vlogs and radio blog shows. I'm going to put up a post with the schedule in a couple of weeks, as everything gets finalized. Tina already has the calendar posted on her blog's side bar with some of the events. Check it out HERE.

The blog hiatus will be ending next week, and I'm looking forward to posting weekly content again!

Writer Wednesday Flash Fiction - Writer Campaign 2nd Challenge and General Updates

Please check out the flash fiction written earlier this week for the Writer's Campaign 2nd challenge here.

Meanwhile, I thought I'd update you on my projects, etc..

I've joined the WIP March Madness and listed my goals as follows:

1) Write for half an hour every night, even after karate training, no matter how tired.
So far I've been able to do this for about half of the March days that passed. Working on making it an
every day thing.
2) Write during lunch (that is when my work load allows me to take a full lunch, which lately it doesn't
always).
So far I've used three of my lunches during March to write, which is better than in the previous few moths.
3) Write and schedule blog posts the day before.
I've been fairly successful in doing this, although there were a couple of blogs in the past two weeks that I wrote the day of.

In other news:
1) I have submitted one of my flash fiction stories to a contest.
2) I am completely re-working my WIP and will probably end up scrapping that 4 chapters I already wrote and re-writing them. Right now I'm doing a lot of brainstorming and putting ideas on paper so I can then review all of the ideas and chose the best.
3) Started hashing out ideas of a "secret project" with my writing partner Tina Moss.

This is for my writing partner, Tina Moss, because she has a corgi :)

And just to make March more interesting, I'm training hard to test for my 2nd degree black belt in the near future. Yep, March is going to be fun.

Update on WIPs

NaBloPoMo #13

I've been pretty sick all weekend and with everything else going on, haven't had much time to write for the blog. So instead, I thought today I just provide you with a brief update on WIPs.

I'm glad to say that Tina Moss and I are heavy into our second book together (the 2nd book in the Key Series). It's turning out to be a complicated and fun book to write.

I am also working on my individual project, an urban fantasy novel with a working title of the Ariana Chronicles (a very working title as I'm figuring out the real title). I'm a few chapters in but I'm  also doing a lot of research for the book, which is a lot of fun but quiet time-consuming.

I'm also doing research on writing short stories and will be diving into writing one soon. More on that to come.

So that's a small update on what I'm working on currently.
