Mel's Musings: January 2009
http://melworth.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
I'll show YOU crazy! There is a problem with writing about crazy people. You begin to think. Like them. Or, is it that you begin to realize that they think the way they do because you think the way you do which causes them to think that way, too? Why do you think you're crazy? Simple; I hear things. Things no one else hears. Like my name, called out by nothing. Because I'm alone in the house. Terrifying, that. But that's not all. I talk to myself. Yes, you do. Liar.". I can't. If I do, you will.". Why no...

I scowled. “Well excuse me for never having seen a magi...Ah well...

A Writer's Quirks: 01. I've just realized some of my writing quirks:. I always have at least one. Forest scene in all my books, and the forests always have oak trees. I always use a male protagonist (which is intentional, but still amusing). I can't avoid humor, no matter how I try. Writing without music is impossible. Black eyes ROCK. Green eyes, too. They are my favorite to use for characters. Slender, beautiful men are not. Overrated. I'm serious! I will probably never use it again. If I quit writing ...

Mel's Musings: This is what happens when you procrastinate...
http://melworth.blogspot.com/2010/04/this-is-what-happens-when-you.html
This is what happens when you procrastinate. Last post was my announcement about completing The Demon's Game. Since then, I've managed to finish another novel. Bonds I: The Dark Dissension. Is my fifth completed novel, making five in a five-year-period. A sixth novel will definitely be completed this year. It's an amazing feeling to finish something you've spent so much time creating.

Mel's Musings: September 2008
http://melworth.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Rewrites have always intimidated me. Not to say they aren't still daunting, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the rewrite of Paradise? For some reason. Normally I try to do as little actual 'rewriting' as possible, and just edit typos and add a paragraph here or there. This time, however, is different, and I'm loving it. I know the story backward and forward, so now I get to explore the world within a little more. Insert huge cheesy grin here*. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Once, I was born. Obsidian Trilogy: Bo...

http://melworth.blogspot.com/2009/03/despite-feminist-view.html
Despite the feminist view. I think I'm living proof that women, generally, shouldn't work. Even part-time jobs wipe me out, and I have NO energy afterward. Or maybe I just have some sort of imbalance. But I like to think it's the former. As further proof, on my days off I'm a much, much, MUCH happier person than during weekdays.

We know the truth, not only by the reason, but by the heart." Blaise Pascal. You recall that friend who just got married? The one who made me ponder change and its bitter-sweet experience. Yes, him. I've known him since I was thirteen and he was sixteen. We attended Seminary together, discussed our goals (both of us wished to serve missions, etc) and then, we grew up. And we changed. I don't believe the Church is true. I know. A Tribute To Shasta. I will miss him so terribly. It's strange how painful, ho...

Mel's Musings: Another Success!
http://melworth.blogspot.com/2009/08/another-success.html
The ending for the book is SO different from the original draft. That is by no means a bad thing. It was just very.cliche, and this one more fits the mood of the story. I'm quite satisfied, and further drafts will bring greater improvements. Still querying away for an agent to represent Paradise? August 20, 2009 at 8:11 AM. Dont give up. And . . . if you havent read Steven Kings On Writing. You may want to pick it up. Its a fabulous book. Still worth it. (Which is saying something.). Once, I was born.

Mel's Musings: First Query In!
http://melworth.blogspot.com/2009/02/first-query-in.html
My pet monster Paradise? Has officially sent off its first query letter to the first agent on my list. I'll keep you posted as things progress. I should hear from the agency in 5-10 days, as is their policy. I think while I wait I might just die from anxiety. It's not that I can't handle rejection if it comes- I've handled it before and it hasn't scared me enough to stop trying (heaven forbid! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Once, I was born.
