My Writing Process & a Surprise

After taking roughly a week's worth of time away from writing my fourth Nevermore book, I did something I have never done with writing. I sat down and wrote a quick outline, laying everything out before me just waiting to be given depth and life. 

Normally, when I begin a new story, I open up a blank document and just let the words flow out, with no intended destination - that all comes to me as I go along. But this book has so much that I needed to figure out and have as perfect as possible that I decided I needed an outline. Ever since I typed up the outline, my writing has progressed and I am happy with the direction it is heading. 

To aid me in writing, I like to be surrounded by comfort - the light, gentle music from my Rock-a-bye Lullabies [if you are unaware, those are rock songs turned into 'lullabies'!], my wax burner swirling the fumes of sugared kiwi melon in the room, relaxed in my leather office chair, with all of the lights out. 

I have also been toying around with Photoshop for the past day and a half [which has taken out a chunk of time that could have been spent writing, but I will forgive myself later], altering the covers of my current novels. With that being said, look out for potential cover changes in the near future. 

Also...Nevermore Four officially has a title! 

Be prepared for Destiny, Nevermore Book 4 this spring~

Also, Twin Souls is now permanently free and it is going through one final editing process to ensure it is as perfect as it can possibly be - so be looking out for a post about the updated version! 

Brief Change of Course

I have hit a temporary spot of writer's block in the process of writing the fourth book in the Nevermore series. So far, I am only sixteen pages into the story! This is quite unusual for me, as the first three books were written quickly...but there are so many ways that I can write this book, and I am struggling between a few of those options. 

Therefore, in the meantime, I am focusing on a different book - which I am one hundred and twenty-two pages into writing and have dedicated a lot of time to recently. Fear not, however! Nevermore shall continue, I just need to do some brainstorming and perhaps get some outside opinions from some close friends who know the way the story is headed. 

I am attempting to write *at least* 1,500 words a day, whether it be in my new book, or in Nevermore. 

So far this month, after getting over a sinus infection, I have made a lot of progress [excluding yesterday where I didn't quite reach my goal] - 

January 20 - 3,659 words 

January 21 - 1,575 words 

January 22 - 3,275 words 

January 23 - 1,188 words 

Time to do some brainstorming, outlining, and plotting for book four. I can't keep my fans waiting for too long!
