Crafting 101

I’ve been kind of bummed the last few days because I’ve hardly been able to write. I was at a little over 30,000 on the 18th and I looked today when I got a chance to write some and I haven’t even hit 31,000! So it’s been one of those weeks. But today, I’ve got the laptop downstairs on the kitchen table and in between cleaning up and doing other things, I am going to write.

I did hit a sudden patch where I was like, I’m not sure what to do on from here or what could happen. In fact, when I go back to edit, there’s a part around words 26,780 thru 28,000 where I’m probably going to rewrite it as right now, it’s okay and gives another angle to the story, but overall, I need to make it more exciting and bone-chilling a little bit. Just to give another punch to the storyline. But because of that occurrence, it leads to why Annette is afraid of talling her parents what happened.

I do plan on introducing in person her older siblings that are off in college. The timeline has the Thanksgiving holidays approaching so they will be visiting and I plan on making a lot of things come out in the open. If you were wondering how things would go with her academy dreams and what about George, those questions will be answered, all before Christmas break!

As I’ve been writing this, I’ve been thinking of possibly creating a series. Of course, I want to see how well this does and if it goes like I’d like it to (meaning, actually sell loads of copies) then I want to take on Janet’s life during this time or possibly go back in time to see how all this ended up happening with Annette and I also thought of what happens when she goes to the academy (well, if she gets to go, LOL!). Lots of ideas, but I guess I need to get this one done first!

I will be back tomorrow with another exert. I desperately need to hit 40,000 words by tomorrow at the latest. I know I’m behind! EEKK!!!
