Wednesday Writing

So Wednesday is my official writing update day. I have so many story projects going on and I need a push to get some done. So I will be trying to post each Wednesday about how my writing adventures are going (and I may need a swift kick in the pants by you guys sometimes).





Current Active Project:
 
Princess Bs - 34,317 words
A story about a woman, recently divorced and returned to her home town to figure out what is next. She encounters an old friend and spends a weekend with him and his daughters. Feelings that are long since buried are rising up again, but are her recent loss and his current life going to stand in the way of their happily ever after?



Other Works in Progress:

The New Old Home - 17,193 words
Everyone dreams of winning the lottery, but what would you do with that money? That is the question presented to Natalie, when she is at the lowest point in her life, she is presented with an opportunity to make any normal person's dreams come true, but all those winnings can't give her what she wants most.


Night Rider - 17,229
Alice is a recent high school graduate who is a very accomplished competitive rider in Hunter/Jumper, Dressage, and Western/Rodeo. Her parents had arranged for her to attend a private college on the east coast geared specifically to equine professions. However, Alice wants to focus on her studies in English Literature. When she arrives at the college she hides her riding abilities, but can she keep her talent and love of horses hidden?



The Last Mountains - 13,468 (handwritten) = 15,766 (typed)
A equine shapeshifting family is being hunted to near extinction and the young new leader must go against all her lessons and approach the elite council for aide. Will they help her? How will she keep her family's traditions and values alive, let alone her herd?
 
 
Olivia's Mountain Tale - 3,607 words
Olivia is left in the mountains by her uncle to guard the sheep grazing in the summer pastures.  This summer could change the course of her life.
 
 
Tamlyn Marie's Grace - 5,811
Think Cinderella only with a matchmaker ;)


Other Ideas Plotting:

Bloodsoar's Story
A pegasus struggles through life, ejected from the herd, near capture by humans.

The Assassin's Assassin
A student learns what the school is really teaching and sets out to destroy those who support the program.

Angel Story
Angels battle out an age old feud in a parallel world

All in the Company

Little Wind Guides
Little Wind must lead her clan to new territory as the gods of the Fire Forest are cleansing their home with wrath.  Will they follow her while she holds so many secrets.




Draft Complete:

A journal a woman keeps as she sorts through antique items and documents left in a home she purchased.

I was really bad this last month and didn't write anything.  For some reason I couldn't quite grasp any inspiration or seem to settle down to write.  I think I am just being pulled in so many different directions at once with home life, work, munchkin and plans, not to mention reading and crafting.

The exciting thing is that I recently came up with an idea for this year's Nanowrimo (since you have to start from scratch technically) and have jotted down some notes for it and am planning to do a rough outline.

I hope you were all a lot more motivated this last month and got a lot more accomplished.

  1. Yay for NaNoWriMo! I'm considering participating this year... but I'm not sure. We'll see what happens in the coming months. ;)

    1. You have been on a roll these past years, I don't think you even need Nano to sit down and push you to write, but I hope you do, it will be fun!
