I have been on a mini writing break this past week. I did get a few chapters of Undying Heart written, so I am happy with that. I know I can write a novel in ten days and I can write a short story in four. I don’t have to prove anything in that regard anymore. I have decided to take my writing down to a more human pace. I can’t keep cranking out rough drafts and never finish the editing phase of a project. Once I have Undying Heart safely rough drafted, I am going another break from writing and begin the work on editing Undying Savage. I want that book to be done and I want to start marketing it.

There is a part of writing that I have no idea if I can do or not, but I will find a way. I will have to market my own book. I don’t know how to do that just yet, but I will figure it out. I figure if I get some books on marketing, and I have a few other resources I can use to help with this. I am terrified and excited about this story all at once. I know it can become a bestselling novel, I just have to figure out how to get it there.

Well, my writing partner, Eden and I have finally come up with the most wonderful idea for our fantasy romance series! I have already started on it, and I must say that I am in love with the characters and the story and the world. There are still some things that I need to figure out about it, and things Eden will need to add to it, but at least we now have a place to start. Maybe I will actually get the Dragon Story I have been so looking forward to reading. Anyway, that’s all I have time for right now. I have chapters to finish!

Welcome to the re-launch of Emma Weylin’s Writing Journal. I had some technical issues (Namely accidently deleting by back-up file while changing webhosts from Yahoo! To HostGator.) So what is going on in my writing world? I was heavily writing in my Elburon world which you can read about HERE, and after that, I kind of took a break for the month of December with all the holiday stuff going on. Elburon has been packed up, probably won’t be visited again until next fall, though I will try like hell to get back into it soon. I have been playing with the idea of turning it into a fantasy romance series, but we’ll see where it goes. It needs to be right for my characters. I love Elburon and love my characters. I hope it shows when I finally get it done, edited and sent out the door. I will get something published!
