Yay!! A Witch is finally done! It's now on sale on amazon!
I am so happy. I'm still supposed to be working on Spencer's story.... and I will. As soon as Valerie lets me. This story isn't flowing as quickly as her last, but she's still demanding my attention.
Really I don't have a lot to say tonight other than being happy about A Witch being available. I am working with Valerie and she's ready to go to the party. This girl loves having fun.

I HATE finishing a story.
It's like my best friend leaving, even if it's just for a little while.
Yep, I finished Valerie's story. :) I struggled that last three pages, hating to end it. I love her and the people around her. But I had to do it. It is not her end though. She gets at least one more story.
On that statement, I started her next story. I tried to go back to Spencer and revise what I have of his story. I need to work on his. Valerie though, she just wants to go on. We're already 10 pages into her new story and we're looking forward to this. Things are going to be different for her, away from her parents. I think we're going to have fun.
I am going to try and get some work done with Spencer, but when a story is flowing like Valerie's have been, it's hard to refuse.
I have written a small piece from her best friend's point of view, a short bit that mostly happens away from everyone, but it gives an insight to him that he doesn't fully express around her. He is just so complicated that I had to delve into what and how he thought.
Well, I'm going to try to go to bed. I to do it when I'm on a roll, but morning does come early around here.

A Ramble
Again only two pages so far today. (last time i said this though i went on to punch out ten more pages before bed) I have once again gone back and read what I have so far. I hadn't realized how big a part her best friend has in all of this. Now, he does live with her family (kind of like a servant/family member) so he is around a lot, but there is a lot going on between them. He is getting attention because who he is is important to her. I just hadn't realized how big a role he is in her life. I like him though. He is complicated (which is why he spends a lot of time talking with Val), but sweet. And hot. :) I've brought in a character from Kat's story, one who comes in at the end of Blood Natured. I didn't want to have a bunch of stuff reflecting to Kat's time, but this woman really fits with Valerie. It's also been fun taking my young lovers from Blood Natured and making them parents.
I finally got an answer to my Spencer problem, about to write it from 1st or 3rd person. My niece again, since she'd read Rina's for me, said it would be better to do 1st person again. She loves that she got to make an important decision on a book.
I did have to burst her bubble about Valerie's story. Valerie is my niece's name and I told her if the story was a teen she'd read it first, to give me her opinion. There is NO way she can read it. She's 14 and I'm placing this story at 18+. There is too much sex and sex talk for 16 in my opinion.
She's been promised to proof read Spencer's story. It's nice to have someone at my target audience to read the story and get their opinion.
A Witch is under last review! It should be available soon!
Well, I'm going to see if Valerie is ready to talk again.

I've managed about 2 pages today. I have been stuck. I have actually gone back and started at pg 1 reading. I'm just about caught up and hoping it will flow from there. I have no idea why Valerie suddenly decided to stop. I mean, she'd about to go on a date. She should be excited, right?
On a side note. My cat is definintly mine. She won't leave my coffee alone. Every night she's chasing it around my desk. She also waits until my cup is just about empty then she curls up on my lap and goes to sleep.I swear she does it all on purpose!
I'm only days away from having finally proof approved for A Witch! I'm excited and ready to have it out there. It's my first teen novel. I really do plan on writing Spencer's, but Valerie had me hooked. Too bad she couldn't keep her story to a teen level, but I just can't label a book with sex in it for teens.
But, just wanted to pop on and grouch about the low page number for the day.
I'm heading back off and hoping she's ready to go out.

Well, Valerie is still coming along. Not so great today, but it's still early tonight.
Yeah, Valerie is not a traditional teen novel. It might still make the 16 to 18 range (depending on parents), but not a teen to me. I've refined her, and man is she hot. She's a beautiful girl, but she'd one of those girls who is confident with her sexuality, knows how to flirt and tease. She's fun though. And still playing ping-pong. One minute she's laughing and having fun, then I turn around and she's arguing with her mom, or there is something emotional going on with her and her best friend. I swear, she is driving me crazy with it. I'd like to say that the emotional game will stop now that something important has been said, but something tells me something else will come up.
Anyway, just had to express that, to step away from Val for a second. She's ready to go back to her party, so I have to go too.

Valerie/Rina
Well, got home from a family camping weekend. It was nice, some of my in-laws camped with us and we celebrated my son's 5th birthday. I enjoy getting away,enjoying nature.
At night though, I was tapping away on the computer. Valerie's story is just coming along. She's great to work with, a little mood ping-pong, but she's a new vamp so it's aloud. Hers is not going to be a teen story, not in my opinion. I think of teen novels as mostly clean of sex and cussing. Valerie's story isn't heavy with either, but it does have some. It's turning out very different than I first thought. I like it, it's just not what I was expecting.
It's been a long time since a story has flowed this quickly. Even with as busy I've been this past week and weekend, an i'm already 70 computer pages. The last time this happened was with The Werewolf and the Rancher, which came out in just over 2 weeks. I have hopes for Valerie. I also hope she tells me what's going on.
Rina's story, A Witch, is getting it's final read through before being approved. I'm doing last edit check. And I have a teen girl read it for me. My niece is happily reading it. :) She's enjoying it so it has to be okay. It's good to get a teen's perspective on it, get her ideas.

Kat & Valerie
Well, Kat's daughter is loving me so far. We've been talking, fleshing out her personality and the world around her. I think she is going to be great. Her name is Valerie.
The problem that dawned on me a few minutes ago though is that her story is eighteen years after Kat's. Shouldn't have been a big deal, expect that I drastically changed that world about the time Valerie would have been ten. I'm working on how to express the changes in the world around her, for those few who actually read Kat's story. I think I'm getting it, little piece of info here, little piece there. So there isn't this huge spot of back information. Of course, this is Valerie's story, so most of the changes in Kat don't need to be in detail.
Glad to have a teenager working with me. I though there for a couple days that I couldn't get back to a teenage mindset.
