I have been working diligently on my WiP Demon Mine and I have to say I am excited to announce that at 1:30 in the morning I typed the last words. The MS sits comfortably at 23,839 words. My first goal was just to get to 20k, so let me tell you I was excited to to surpass that goal. Now mind you there is still editing to be done and then for me to submit it. But I am so excited and nervous (lol and scared–just being honest).
Demon Mine has been a great journey for me and it marks my first actual MS that I have completed on my own (other than the MS I completed at the age of 13 LOL which a friend promptly lost). I am so proud of this MS for so many reasons.
1. It’s my own accomplishment.
2. I absolutely love the story and the characters.
3. My journey as a writer has finally come full circle (and will continue).
I have so many people that have helped me along on my writing journey and I will never be able to thank you enough other than to say that I pledge to pay it forward. You’re kindness and friendship inspires me to do the same. You all have encouraged me, beta read for me, edited for me and just been my friend through all of this.
I hope that you all know how much it is appreciated .
So I wanted to let you meet the characters. Liliana Jackson and her dark fallen angel the demon Samael.
Samael is a fallen angel doomed to repeat his life and love for Lilianna Jackson over and over again. That is until she finally remembers who she is and the reason for the curse that has befallen them both. For you see, Lilianna was once Lilith the first wife of Adam and the lover of Samael. Are they doomed to keep repeating the past? Or will their be a new future for the reincarnated lovers?
These two have been so fun to write. Along with the other characters that are within the pages of Demon Mine and yes asking for their own stories to be told. I love the journey of writing and I plan to visit it often. Thank you my friends. I will keep you updated on how editing goes, and whether or not Demon Mine get’s accepted.
Congratulations on completing the rough draft. It is such a…wonderful yet sad feeling, LOL. But no need to be sad–you will still be spending time with your characters and their world. In fact, with the next stage you get even deeper into their world and you learn more about your characters.
That’s fantastic! Congrats on finishing it, buttercup!
Brenda thank you…and yes you’re right no need to be sad now comes the editing and the polishing.
Melissa thank you..I appreciate you and your encouragement.
