Well, my cover artist is working on Part 1 of Dark Dimensions, my beta readers are working on Part 2 and I’ve got it fairly ready to go. I am doing this one step at a time, though, because this is my first time.
I have another few weeks to go before I go back to Heart of Deception and I’m doing that on purpose. The one problem I have with self-editing is that I get sucked back into the story and forget I’m supposed to be critiquing my own work. Thus, I’ll give it another once over in a few weeks.
I am participating in a Nano-like event run by iFlow Creative over January. There are stricter rules with this – it has to be one story and a brand new story. Oh, shikes, I wonder what I’ll do? Hehe, just kidding.
Funny enough, I actually went through my notebooks and found a dream I had. It’s a crime story about a courier that works for crime bosses. It had enough guts in it, so I thought, so I started it. It was supposed to be a crime story only, nothing different, no sci fi or anything.
Yeah, that’s what I told myself. Of course, me being a pantser, this has gone in a completely different direction. I’ve now got 2 main characters, both of which are in hiding from another world or dimension (don’t go there) and trying to stop a political enemy from finding a member of a royal family that is even more hidden than they are. So, their personas are courier and fixer but they’re really a royal scout and guard. With exceptional capabilities and higher tech than the city they’re in.
I’ll let you know when I figure out where it’s going! If you’re a member of my Weird Wurdz group on Facebook, you can follow the story there!
I’ll go back to melting in Perth’s outrageous heat now – I know, there are hotter places. Don’t rub it in!
