How have I been doing since I finished my book? Not bad. Thanks to a great website called Scribophile, I have received awesome feedback for the first two chapters. Sadly due to zoning out on Minecraft, doing school work, and appointments/interviews I am two chapters behind. I didn't post one last Friday and I have been so busy today that I didn't post one. It isn't as easy as just throwing them up on a site. I have to read fellow writer's work and critique for them to earn points and then every 5 points I can post. But finding something good to read is usually my problem.
This weekend I have been attending a virtual writer's retreat. It started on Thursday and it will end Sunday morning. For my first time, I am super sad it is virtual but due to the state of the world right now, better safe than sorry. Anyway, in regards to goals, I wanted to focus on making sure Predator's Reaper is ready to go for the first, which I am happy to report that I am super excited to start! The next goal is to focus on Secret City and have it completely outlined just in case I have some trouble writing Predator's Reaper. Why? Great question. Well, it is a suspense/thriller with elements of horror. I don't read or watch suspense or horror genre and it depends on the severity of the thrill if I will touch a thriller book or movie. With that said, I am not even sure I will be able to write this book alone. Might need to see if either my husband or a fellow writer will co-write it with me.
Secret City is doing even better than it was at the beginning of the month. Every character has a description, all the places my main character goes has been described, and I even answered five questions that were bugging me as I was creating the characters. I couldn't have answered three of them with the help of Ryan. I have chapters 1-12 planned and then I have been bouncing around to other chapters due to the ideas I get and need to figure out where to put them.
NaNo is in 8 days and I am super excited! This will be my first time and I am determined to win! How do you win? By reaching the goal of 50,000 words! And yes, I will do it. However, I still have 8 days... which means, will I still have Predator's Reaper as my main book, OR will I put it to the side and just focus on Secret City since this book is going to be super fun! It is a fantasy that has many surprises, one being the different types of lava animals!
I promise I will try to update before NaNo and let you all know what book I am officially going with. Betting is open and the winner is expected to share half of their winnings. :P
Until Next Time,
Meg
