Block, Change, Flood

Writer's block is horrible. We all know this and we all--hopefully--hate it.

So, since I hate it so much, I decided to change from one story to another. Fearing is coming along just great! Don't ya just love the feeling of having idea after idea and word after word come to mind? That's the opposite of writer's block: writer's flood. Haha

Happy Writing!

329...to 1... Again

My apologies for neglecting to post--my life has been pretty busy. But, I'd like to announce that I have finished Song of the Dead. It hasn't been officially edited, but as of this moment, I'm done.

"Phew!" What a feeling! I haven't printed out the manuscript (ink is costly), but just looking at it on the computer screen makes me excited! Three-hundred and twenty-nine pages... 

Now back to page one. Yay! ;)

After a lot of thinking and asking opinions, I've decided to start a sequel to Song of the Dead, called Sight of Souls. In the second book, a new character is introduced--let me rephrase that: a new Breed is introduced. Her name is Ana. Hitler sent Nazis to gas her city when she was ten. Because of her fair hair, her mother had moved her to the basement so that nothing would happen to her. Ana only had the darkness and an old piano. After the gas eliminates (kills) the whole city, the Nazi's tear down every building, and eventually find Ana. Because of the poisonous gas, she is blind. Because of her fair hair and blue eyes, the Nazi guards take her to Hitler.

Ana is almost twenty-one, has known nothing but darkness and music and Hitler, and sits in a small concrete room surrounded by torture chambers. Sight of Souls is partly her story, and partly the rest of Lade's. I'm excited!
