Random Ramblings
How is it that every time I want to write something new, I struggle to get started? I mean, I have a million little things that I'd love to put into this next novella, but how do I even begin? Do I dive straight into an epic battle scene? A beautifully written romantic engagement? I'm still trying to figure it out, especially since I finished Into the Void, book three of Times of Our Lives, with such a lingering question.
Oh, yes, Into the Void is finished. I'm just polishing up the edits, and honestly, that's almost done...
You want a sneak peek?
No, I couldn't possibly. It wouldn't be right for you to get a small, random look at a work in progress. It has to be special...
