New Characters for "Fae Fire"

I have come up with a few new characters for my novel. I haven't quite decided what chapters they will end up in. However, the newest one 'Queen Querellia of Light and Fire' will be in the upcoming chapter. Can't have the Queen of the Fae just sitting about waiting her turn. I have decided to change a few of the plots around to make something a little more modern, something that screams BDSM, something that shouts 'bend me over and do me raw'. I think the new twist will really catch my readers and fans around the globe. I would really like to hear from my fans and readers, to know what they want to see in this novel. Give me a shout here on DList, MySpace or on yim.

Taking A Break

Well I have needed to take a break from working on "Fae Fire", as I have been working constantly on it and have had very little time for myself. As it stands I have had some things going on that I cannot let sit on the back burner. I have decided on two pictures for my cover, am still looking for an artist to come up with a few things for me, but my agent and the publishers are jerking me around on that. I might have to take it into my own hands and draw something myself, so much for making this a best seller! Because I can't draw to save my life.
I have a wedding to prepare for, my own. We still haven't made all the plans yet, but we have decided on a date and location for the proceedings. My fiance, Dan has picked this time next year for the date. And I have picked Oaxaca Mexico for the location. I don't know how we are going to get all of this taken care of in a year, but I have faith that we can pull it off. I am proud of the fact that he supports my career, and wants to help with this novel.
I should somehow manage to work that into the story, near chapter 25. ~make a note~.
I suppose that is enough of a update for today.

Chapters 1-3 and 4-5

I finished a quick rewrite of the first 3 chapters today, though most of it was just the minor details. Started working on the next 2 chapters a short while ago, it seems my characters decided they want them to be hard core porn! Why am I not surprised that this has become the norm when one hasn't been getting laid?
The story is progressing fabulously, with very few problems though I am having some difficulty keeping up with how many details I still have to add in. It seems with each new chapter I forget to add the descriptions of the characters and the places that I am creating. So much for being the great writer lol.
Anyway I am spending the day talking to my boyfriend and working on chapters 4 and 5 so that I can get at least the first 10 chapters done and caught up. So I've got a lot of work to do and still plenty of time to get it all done in.
So I will leave to gt all this done before the end of the day.

Working on my book entitled "Fae Fire"

I've been working on my book the last several months, and finally have my working title of "Fae Fire" I won't tell you what the story is about just yet, at least until I finish chapter 5. The characters are writing themselves, the way that they want, so it should make things a bit more interesting.
I've never finished a book that I have written before, and so far this is a work that will write itself for a change. I am just glad that I have managed not to rewrite the whole thing yet.
I woke up this morning and decided to do a rewrite of chapters 1 - 3, I felt that I needed to add some details that I neglected to add in when I first wrote them. There's always some last minute details that need to be put in to make it something great.
The main character, which I named after myself, brings an element to the story that I didn't think would work. I'm glad its coming along great.

Another Move and A New Life

Well last time I wrote, I believe I had moved to Indiana. Well I moved yet again, this time back to the heart of Texas. Not one of my proudest moments, but there you have it. I guess it takes a certain amount of resolve and will of spirit to move around the country like it isn't a big deal. Considering that every time I move, I encounter different things that even I can't really recount without forgetting some minor detail. However, this time I want to focus on the people that I met along the way.
While I was in Indiana, I met a few people that most would just look down their noses at. These people are the salt of the earth. Constantly struggling to survive, but working hard. I don't think I can say that about most people, though those folks in Indiana, work hard at their jobs and still struggle. Perhaps it is just me, growing up working my ass off to get to where I am.
Yet coming back to Texas, all I notice is how people complain about not having everything they want, yet refuse to work. I can't say that about everyone down here, but the vast majority do.
I start my life a new everytime I move someplace and I still haven't the faintest idea what the problem is. I say the same thing about finding a decent guy, because most of them turn out to be just like the rest. Is there one guy out there that isn't the same?
