2014 was a splendid year, but I’m always excited for change,
and I have a feeling that 2015 will bring me just that. I am so looking forward
to all the new experiences I’ll have, the new memories I’ll make, and of course
the new books I’ll be reading and writing.
Over the break I read Daughter
of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, and I loved it! After seeing all the
hype surrounding this book, I’ll admit I was expecting something a bit
different. I was pleasantly surprised by the characters and plot, and I
finished the book in only a few days after getting it for Christmas. I’m
absolutely looking forward to getting the next book, but I’ve spent so much
money on books lately that it will have to be after I get my next paycheck.
I also bought Rain by
Amanda Sun, but I need to go out and buy Ink
and read that first. It’s always a bummer when you accidentally buy the
second or third book in a series first and then have to backtrack. But oh well!
The cover art for these books is so amazing, though. Have you seen it? Look!
Amazing, right? The beautiful water color artwork was the
whole reason I picked the book up in the first place. We do judge books by
their covers, friends. It’s just the way things are.
As for my books, Fire Tongue is almost done! I’ve got about
one chapter left to go, and then comes the task of printing out the entire
manuscript. Once I have it finished I’m going to let it sit for a month or so,
and then when I come back to edit I will have a fresh mind with which to look
at the material. In the meantime, though, I’ve got a bare bones outline for a
new story I want to write, and I’m going to fatten that up and really start
character development and planning so that I’ll be all set to go when the time
comes to write.
I’m still trying to decide once I’m going to do with Fire
Tongue once it is completely finished later this year. Self-publish again, or
send it to an agent? The decision is not an easy one to make, so I’ll be thinking
on it a while longer.
I hope you all have a wonderful day and an even better year.
Happy 2015!
