Broken Mirror

And I've discovered

If I stare in the mirror long enough

It shows me who I really was

And who I really am.

And maybe that's a good thing

But all that I can see is the bad

It tears at my heat

And it tears at my soul.

Ruby Carter Has Come To A Stop

I wondered if it was going to happen, when I started out. I had a storyline, characters, chapters planned, but there was something wrong and I was worried that it would pop up and... it eventually did.

 Pretty much, the thing that was wrong was that the storyline I had came up didn't do justice to the first Ruby book and the characters.

 So pretty much, this means that there probably won't be another Ruby book for now. I'll hold onto the plans for the prequel so that I can look into it in the future.

 I am however focusing on another book, which is completely separate from the Ruby world. It's just polishing off character profiles and chapter outlines.

 I'm very disappointed about having to stop the Ruby Carter book but I'd rather not have another published book than have a published book that ruins the story and characters of the original book. I hope you understand. <3




 (If you're interested though I've lowered the price down completely on Ruby, so you can now get a copy of it for free! I'll be putting the price back on October 1st, so you've got two weeks to get a free copy. <3)

 

Book Work

I've decided to get back on with my book writing, after being reminded that NaNoWriMo starts in a little while!

 Well I'm working on two books, one for NaNoWriMo and another to hopefully publish!

 My NaNoWriMo book is actually based off an idea I've had in my head for a while (two years actually). I started writing last year for my NaNo project, but had problems with it and stopped. I've been working on the plot, characters and the world these last few days, so hopefully I'll have everything I'm going to need by the beginning of November.

Vague idea for a cover, from 2015.

 The other book I'll be working on is a Ruby prequel, which will be going over some of her past and why she ended up moving next door to Lachlan. I'm a little unsure about this because I'm worried about not doing the story justice, however I guess if I don't like the first draft I can just rewrite it!
 The hope is to get the prequel published by the end of the year, maybe just before December at earliest. I guess that I'll just have to see what happens. I've got the story line, the chapter outlines and the characters all sorted, so all that's left to do is start writing.

Current book cover for the Ruby prequel.

Hopefully I'll have the first draft done by November, which will leave me to do my NaNoWriMo project.
