Let’s see, I have been very busy with a lot of things this week, but since The Official Start of the series on May 7, 2009, I have gotten over 50, 000 words written for the first Novel Guardian Wolf. Cordelia and Rune leave me baffled most of the time as I write them, but it all seems to be working. Eden Ashe and my mother have both been reading full chapters as I produce them. It’s interesting how two different people can get to totally different things out of a story. Eden has one view and my mother has another, but they both say that it is working, so I am just going to go with it for now and hope for the best. According to how I plan a rough draft, I have about 6 more chapters and maybe a epilogue (and maybe the prologue, too) to write. I am hoping that’s all that is left, but my character seem to have other ideas of what they want to be doing. I can’t wait to get story done, because *I* want to know how it all ends and know if Cordelia and Rune are going to make to their happily-ever-after, or if the dark Mage will kill them both! I am killing myself with suspense of it all. I guess that’s a good thing, because I am hoping my readers (When I get them) will be in just as much suspense as I am. I have some side knitting projects going on right now, so, I am going to go work on Cordelia’s Market Bag and Shawl for a little while before I go to do something things. I hope to have another chapter done before bed tonight.

It’s not like I really keep track of the good things he does for me, but today he was especially wonderful. I am a smoker, and in trying to quite, I have been looking at my behavioral patterns. It’s an amazing thing. If I am typing I don’t smoke, and if I have some kind of craft in my hands, I don’t smoke. Since I can’t bring my keyboard with me everywhere, my dear Hubby thought it would be a good idea for me to have some kind of yarn project with me. Be it crochet or knitting. For the house I can do my large knitting loom or machine projects, but on car trips or general days out, he thought it would be good for me to be able to take a ball of yarn and whatever tool I’d need to keep my hands and my mind busy so I don’t reach for that smoke. What makes him so wonderful about that? He bought me a stash of cool stuff today. I got a full set of crochet hooks, except the really tiny once, but they are on my list of things to get. I got a fully set of circular knitting needles and a fully set of double pointed needles (except the really small ones, 0, 00, and 000) He also got me another set of Knifty Knitter looms in another brand (My small clips to make the short loom even shorter fit on them!), since my children somehow managed to break a few of my looms. I still don’t know what they were doing to them. I also got a hairpin lace loom and two jumbo knitting needles (size 35) for my broom stick lace projects. Then of course I needed new yarn to play with all my new toys. All in all, I made out a like a bandit today, and it’s all because the hubby loves me so much. He got major bonus points today. It really is too bad I don’t keep track, or he’d be ahead of the game.
I have been slowly working on my new Black Wolf series. I have the novels names. (I need them or I can’t seem to make myself function as a writer. So just know they are working titles.) I have characters names, and I have the beginnings of a fantasy world for them to live in. I love the world of the Undying, but I was nearly burnt out on it. It was good to take the break when I did. I will continue to work with Eden on Warrior until it is done, but it’s not one that is my responsibility, so the brunt of it is going to fall to her to write and to plot. As always, Elburon is in the back of my mind. I thought I was going to get back to it, but it seems it is best left to the fall and winter months. So I will make my schedule according to it. I want to start getting these stories finished and ready to send out. I WANT to be a published writer, but I still have to figure out the marketing end of it. So, as I work myself up this month to start editing Undying Savage, I will work on the Black Wolf world and come up with a different name for the world, if it’s needed. I so love to world build. People could pay me to build their fantasy worlds for them and I would be a happy person.
p.s Happy Mother’s Day!!
