Finding my way

The writing is coming, in bursts, but at least it is happening. At this point, I think I may have two different stories going on; and I am ok with that. There is some character development going on that feels like it has long-term potential for my novel (novela?), and the paragraphs that are flowing a little more smoothly, possibly another novel, or maybe a short story. I really don't know yet. I will cross that bridge when I feel like I can actually put the scattered notes and pieces into something a little more "whole".

I've been reading in between writing as well. I finished a fantastic book last night, "Children of the Salt Road", by Lydia Fazio Theys. I have the paperback version, but it is a signed copy, and I didn't want to bend it, so I ended up getting the Kindle in Motion version; something I have never experienced. I recommend it, at least for this book. The art is quite beautiful, and not at all intrusive while reading. If you go to Amazon and look for the Kindle in Motion version, my review is posted. I recommend the book to anyone interested in a quick, yet fulfilling read.

Link to the book, scroll way down for my review!

In a couple of weeks, I plan to do a book giveaway, so stay tuned for that! It will be determined by random selection and run for a week or so. I will post about it on my Facebook page and here.

I hope you've all had a fantastic weekend and are enjoying the weather, wherever you may be.

  1. Well, thank you! I have lots of files with bits and pieces of things in them. When I read them over months or even years later, sometimes I think, "Ewww! What was I thinking?? Occasionally, though, I think, "Hmm. I kind of like that." Don't throw any of it away, even little snippets of ideas. You just never know.

Welcome!

Well, I've done it. I've put it out to the universe that I'm writing a novel, so I guess I better put myself in gear. The intent of this blog is to talk about, well, most anything. While I'm writing, I intend to look for copy editing work (online), so I will post about things like that, possibly do some freelance writing if I can find it, talk about how my writing is going, etc. If you're here, say something, even if it's just hello. I welcome any and all to my blog. You can also find me on Facebook, my page is Author Page: Chloe Cuthbert. Feel free to give it a like and take a look around.

NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo begins today, and as much as I have been looking forward to participating for the first time, I have to admit, I am very nervous! It is a bit overwhelming to start thinking that in less than 30 days, I will need to have 50,000 words written. That is pretty funny for anyone who knows me, because I probably "say" 50,000 words in 2 days!! At least my husband will agree with that :) I am working on two different pieces at this point; a novella for a Kindle World, and a completely different novel for NaNoWriMo. The Kindle World novella is set in author Steven Konkoly's Perseid Collapse world and will be of the same genre, essentially, with a little romance thrown in for good measure. In order to understand what is going on in the novella, and to know the characters, you would need to read the Perseid Collapse series. From November 16-20, Mr. Konkoly is offering the prequel, The Jakarta Pandemic, for .99 on Amazon, and is considering putting the rest of the series o...
