Here we go!

One of my friends posted this on my Facebook
and got me thinking about finally finishing off
one of the many books I've either planned or started!

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the first post on my blog!

I was told that the best way to make yourself accountable for your writing is to make it public knowledge!  What better way than to blog about my novels??? I need to keep myself on track so that I can finally finish something!

During NaNoWriMo I wrote the first draft of "Blood Lust" - 60,000+ words in a month! So I know that I can do it, I just have to keep myself on task....

One of my friends is a published author of three children's books and has had stories published in a few anthologies.  She's given me many words of advice and I know that I am the only one that can make my dreams of finishing and publishing one of these books a reality.  So, I've made myself accountable and am going to start ripping these characters and stories out of my mind.  I have another 1-2 dreams a week that would make wonderful novels, but have so many half-completed ideas that there is no room for them.

So, here is my "To Do" List:

1. Edit "Blood Lust" so that I can start work on the sequel "A History of Blood Shed" for this years NaNoWriMo Challenge.
2. Finish off the two short pieces that I am writing for the Keepsakes Project.  These two stories are going to form a part of both the Blood Lust series and The Legacy Books.  It makes sense to adapt sections of these stories to be standalone pieces, but also chapters in the books I have to write.
3. Continue work on what I think will be my Opus; The  Legacy Books.  I'm well on my way to completing the first book "The Tin Soldier", but have been AWOL from writing for over 6 months and need to get back into the groove.  I would really like to have this book finished ASAP as I believe it could be a great book to be released in time for the 100 year anniversary of ANZAC Day.  "The Tin Soldier" is about a Anzac soldier that fell in Bullecourt, France and a young, idealistic teachers struggle to find his final resting place.

Please check out the links on the right hand side of the blog - they will link you to a page about each of my projects.  I will post excerpts and notes about what is going on with each of the projects.  As this is a brand new Blog, there may not be anything there, but rest assured - I am working on it!

Lastly, thank you for reading this and for keeping me accountable.  I need to finish these books!
