We're now well on our way into November, which means Claimed by Lightning will be out soon! Come, meet this adorable Cozy Boy, and see what happens when a powerful governing body of demons tries to steal someone Jacky holds dear. (Pre-order ๐โฌ๏ธ!)
@DancingFoxCrea1 Start with figuring out if you're writing a contiguous story (Lord of the Rings) or something more episodic with an overarching story tying them together (Harry Potter). The plotting for each is different, so it's important to have that baseline set.
I'm probably going to be posting less here. Partly because of politics, but mostly because my reach is still pretty much nothing, even after a year of concentrated effort.
You can find me elsewhere on the interwebs as either writingdemons or authorlindsayfox.๐
my blog's yearly fee is due tomorrow and alas, i can't afford it this year. so if you like my blog and want to help me keep it live without interruptions, consider donating! it's less than 100, which isn't much until it comes at the exact wrong time ๐

So, @torbooks is running a 2.99 sale for Legends & Lattes in eBook through 2/9 across online retailers - which is I guess approximately the price of 2 eggs. ๐ฅ๐ฒ

Steal our shit, and live like a coward
Hmmmm. To write a epilogue, or not to write a epilogue.
I was originally planning on one, but I kind of covered everything I wanted to in the last chapter. So...I think that means Jacky Book 5 is drafted!
I'm so close to finishing the draft of the main plot line! So close!
Still have now idea what I'm doing with the subplot, but still! I want to be able to say "I'm done," so very badly. ๐ฉ
@timmckay52 For me, I need to pick up my writing pace, because even if I publish 3 books a year for the next 10 years, I won't get all my ideas done and out into the world, and those damn ideas breed like bunnies. ๐
@king_reinhardt I'm nearing forty and I feel like I'm just starting to really hit my stride.
