Breathe & Reboot

I finally have a tiny breather between writing books & book edits for clients so I can squeeze in some work on my own stories.

I haven’t touched any of my own writing since January!! I’ve been pining away for my old stories so I figured taking part in the July installment of Camp NaNoWriMo would be the perfect motivation.

So, I’m back to working on Reaper Book 1. I’m working on the final quarter of the book but it has taken me some time to get back in the mode. I feel like I know my characters but after being away from them for so long, they are kind of acquaintances rather than being of my own creation so it has taken some work (and re-reading the book so far) to hear their voices again.

One way I’m getting back into the groove is with Spotify playlists. They really helped me get into the sci-fi/urban fantasy mindset on one of the last client projects I was working on so I have one set up for the Reaper book too.

Lots of Christian Death, Laibach, Ministry, Rammstein, Laibach, KMFDM, NIN, Ohgr, Download etc. You get the vibe…

It feels fantastic to be back in my own world for a while. I just hope the words come when I want them to!
