Just realized I never posted this here. Sometimes I swear if my head wasn’t attached. XD

For those who have already left theirs, THANK YOU!!!!! I really appreciate it. ❤ ❤
Admittedly, I have a soft spot in my heart for Loki, and while it often pains me to read fiction in which he is portrayed as the bad guy, I can’t help but recommend the following book. I really enjoyed talking with David while he was writing it, and have been looking forward to it being published ever since. Lucky for you all… that day is finally here!!
From of the declining Halls of Asgard, to modern day Australia, an epic race against time to stop a God’s powerful protege from restoring the worship of Loki to it’s former glory. It’s a deep laid plan set in motion over hundreds of years – complete with nightmares that kill, and legends come to life. With the clock ticking down and human lives at stake, the battle lines are drawn, and it’s up to the ancient guardians of Dimmiga Berg, and the mortals they’ve aligned with to stop her at any cost.
Richly detailed characters, beautiful scenery, and a perfect mix of Norse and Aboriginal lore skillfully meshed together in a thrilling, action packed ride that leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat until the very end. Thoroughly enjoyable, and a true pleasure to read!
Want your very own copy of David Evans’ The Mistress of Dimmiga Berg… grab one right here!!
(actual approximation of the sounds I was making… I swear… along with quite a bit of screaming and manic giggling)
It’s a question I posed before, and now I’ll pose it again (and maybe if I’m REALLY, REALLY lucky I can do it again in June)…
GUESS WHO MADE IT TO THE QUARTER-FINALS IN THE ABNA CONTEST?!!!!!
I’m seriously so excited, and nervous and excited and nervous – being this happy should not make one’s belly feel so funky!! Still a long way to go, but a whole lot closer than I thought I’d ever get.
You guys are awesome!! ❤
I’ll admit that I’m struggling just a bit. I didn’t go into this fully prepared, didn’t have any sort of outline, or even a fully fleshed out plot to work with. While I’ve managed to throw something together, still getting from point A to Z (and all stops in between) is proving to be a lot harder than it should be. I know more or less where I’m going, and what needs to happen to get there, but OMG… there just are no words. Nothing… Nada…
Part of it, I think still has to do with my issues over point of view, and the related issue of past tense vs present, which others in my Camp NaNo cabin brought up today as well, so at least it’s comforting to know I’m not the only one. The other part (as I mentioned to a friend the other night), is that my MC has been more or less out of it for the last 10 years – it’s not like she’s just going to jump out of that raring to go. It’s going to be somewhat slow going, which unfortunately, at least up to this point is boring as hell.
Currently the whole thing reads like an overly detailed diary, and I figure if it’s got me reaching for the snooze button, I can’t really expect anything better from anyone who might be unfortunate enough to read it. So at some point there will clearly be massive amounts of editing going on, otherwise this whole project will just end up a footnote in the history of epicly fail-tastic story telling. For now though, I’m going to keep muddling through, and fighting the good fight.
But srsly gaiz… writing is hard!! XD
Bonus points: what sort of things do you do when you feel like what you are writing is total shit, but you don’t necessarily want to abandon it completely?
I’m currently working on my newest project – potentially titled “Is This The Real Life”, as part of Camp Nano, and though I should be typing away at my 1000+ words a day goal, I sit here pondering point of view instead.
I was/am seriously considering writing this one from a first person point of view, really wanted to, since a lot of it, especially in the beginning is all just the main character sort of nattering on about her life, but I know too that once the other characters come into play, it’s going to be harder for me to stick to that. First person is not a comfortable writing style for me at all – guess that’s why I always had a hard time keeping a diary as a child. XD
Anyways…
Inquiring minds want to know!!
