September already update.

 


Good gravy!! It's already September. Half of the month is gone by.

Hi, my lovely readers!!

I did it yall!!

I finished my first draft of my novella Beef Witch You. 

To type the words The End.  

Life changing.



I completed something that was not on my list of life things. I have written 2 complete novellas. 

Kissing in the Rain: an erotic short story collection 

Beef Witch You  (it's a semi-light hearted fun witch fantasy)



I  still have a bit more editing, but I created the book cover myself and found a pro to make a promotional video for the story. I think it turned out nice. 

Did you know that I have a Spotify playlist for Beef Witch You? 



I paid for some advertising last month, but it didn't help as much as I expected.  I made a tiktok page but I don't want to be in front of a camera. I have no desire to attempt any of the latest trends and since I am a new writer...not a new actor, I wonder how it will help me gain exposure for my writing. 


Last night I wrote story notes and designed two more book covers for the next two books coming out of my fictional world of Forestdale. The second book will be my first holiday themed book and be complete in time for this year's Christmas holidays. 

  • I am going to keep them novella length. Going for 10 chapters of no more than 3400 to 4000 words per chapter. 
  • I may do 12 chapters for this next story but not 100% sure yet. 
  • I will be writing a chapter or so a week even though I am not going to post anything new for the remainder of this month. 
That will give me time to hopefully complete the majority of the story and possibly start on the third book which I am eager to start but had to do a bit of research so I hope I can pull it off ok. Crossing fingers and toes.


I need to get back to working on Ginnie Transformed.  I think I have let it rest long enough. 

It's hard because my mind is enjoying being in Forestdale.  However, I do mention something from Ginnie Transformed in the Forestdale books. 

*SPOILER: That is one of the Easter eggs.

I think I am going to see if I can have someone make a map for my fictional world. That might be a neat thing to have done if the books ever go into print. 

Just for the record I still don't like editing but I know it's a necessary.

Have a great rest of your week. 

Keep writing and keep reading. Stay encouraged!

Thanks for stopping by!

Beef Witch You book review

  Good Evening my fabulous Nyte Readers! I would like to share this book review that was provided by a reviewer on Onlinebookclub.org  When authors say the reviews are their lifeblood, they are not kidding. Enjoy this in depth review of Beef Witch You, my first book out of Forestdale. Putting it out to be published and waiting for reviews are scary. But a great review definitely helps. The apparent interest in the book by other readers due to this review gives me hope.

Not much writing

Image
  This month, has been full of doubts and depression. I got a few good reviews for some of my stories but then all of a sudden, Wattpad takes down Kissing in the Rain.  I had just over 1600 reads which was the first time I had reached over 1k reads on any of my stories.  I even had an overpriced book cover made.  That whole situation really stung. But I decided to wear it as a badge of honor and put the entire story that was better edited on Inkitt where I am almost up to 600 reads in under a month. I didn't edit the last story. I will before publishing.  Here's two encouraging reviews. I  am getting reads and votes, but I wonder if people aren't leaving a review because they don't want others to know they are reading erotic short stories.  Do other writers of erotic works have the same problem?  Anyways, Beef Witch You is done just need hard edit and formatting. I want to publish more than one book at a time because I want the freedom of writing ...
