So Tired...

I've been really busy lately. Well, not in the sense of running around and going places, just working my poor imagination to the ground with my projects. Black Dawn has officially sucked up my naming ability (so many f*** places and people!!) which has made it hard to help other people who are asking my opinions on things. Fortunally, this happened after I plotted Rune Spirit which is a very special collaboration project with my good friend, Katrina Brown. I spent so long working on Black Dawn, that I totally forgot about Rune Spirit which is a shame. It's a very good story, I just forgot to work on it! But I've written the plot for it, just have to develop the characters more and spend some time with KB in order to finalize what all the characters look like.


Here's the summary:


Magic: the blood of the planet that flows through the atmosphere of the planet, fueling the magic in select individuals who are able to use the life blood to carry out their wills, be it for the self or others.

Maria Hartman has always resented magic users, even when she was selected to become an potential to work with weilders. But her opinion changes when she meets one Liam Christopher who seems to bear a grudge against her, though she hasn't the faintest idea as to what. As she becomes more involved with weilders, Maria learns secrets that were kept from her, wrongs done, and betrayl by those she considered family.


I must say I'm almost as excited for this project to get going as I am for Black Dawn. And that means a lot to me as the writer. But yes, KB and I will hopefully be able to sit down and discuss Rune Spirit soon and start writing/planning more pages. We've already finished most of the first chapter, just have to get going soon or there will be a long wait since I have boot-camp soon.

Plotting Black Dawn

For the last few weeks, I've been working almost non-stop on the plotline for Black Dawn. Just to help with that I bought Plot & Structure by James Scott Bell and so far I'm loving the advice that he gives. Not only is the book helpful, but it pointed out a bunch of stuff that I didn't think was important when plotting a story! 


Now, thanks to that book, I've finally been able to organize some/most of my thoughts concerning Black Dawn and can focus on writing the damn thing >:D 


On a super bright side, went to Harry Potter :)
