I’ve been writing addictively for about six months now.
I’m working on a full novel (series?). It’s long, over 500 pages long and can cleanly be divided into at least three books. It is by far the most beautiful material I’ve ever written, better than the Raven material on this website, and much better than the writing in Kingdom and Curses. I can’t wait to share it. It’s romantic and horrifically violent in a negative way.... I don’t glorify the violence. It’s full of women who are clever and brave and work hard and actually do things; they make decisions that matter rather than just fall in love. I’ve grown tired of the damsel in distress. Even the typical warrior woman annoys me these days, so I’ve opted for some ladies who go against the usual “your life ends after marriage and kids” storyline… It’s freakin’ awesome.
The new story is all written down now. Each chapter exists in various draft stages; the writing in some chapters is cleaner and more polished than others. I’m abandoning my self-publishing efforts for now. I am attempting to entice an agent and publish through more traditional venues.
I won’t be publishing any more of the Raven stories nor editing any videos for a while. By all means, the actions of Ari the Raven affect my new material. Her adventures continue on in this new book, heavily influencing the plot, but, in my limited time, I need to focus my attentions elsewhere, like on editing over 500 pages…
Perhaps I’ll show you a preview this year as a Christmas Special. :)
Until next time, I leave you with something I wrote down this summer.
My muse, she does not sleep. She whispers to me in the darkness, burrows sweet tunnels in my mind that lace and weave together the most intimate of stories. But please, my sweet muse, release me but a night so that I may sleep!
