Smooth Sailing - A Writing Update

It's funny that when I started writing chapter IV (4) I really thought I was going to have to scrap it. At first I did, fortunately making the good decision to have a copy before I trashed the original. Then I went straight into another idea. Turned out that halfway through, I realized to make it work, I actually did need the original IV, and made the updated version chapter V (5). I'm so surprised that this work is going along with very few hitches, and in fact, I feel like I have a better grasp on all the details revolving around not just the people, but the new settings I've placed the characters in, and all the gadgets they've been offered, and so forth. I'm really excited with what I'm doing! I just hope tat it comes across to my readers as well as I think it will.

Fortunately that's why I've created the teaser chapters blog.

Now I know I said I'd put up chapters II and III, but I'm thinking instead I might just skip right into chapter IV as it's been harder to work through this one, and I want to make sure it flows smoothly. Plus copyrights are an issue, and I fear that if I just go ahead and post my entire book to the blog, I could wind up having some issues to work around.

So on that note I'm going to go right back to it. And remember, keep an eye out for Ch.IV- it's almost done!

Another Post?!

I have been dreading posting stuff recently, and I just can't figure out why. Maybe because I'm in the balance between Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram...and this? Or because I'm dealing with so much (being a socail butterfly, being a student, being a writer and a blogger and a twitterer and an instagrammer and a mother to 2 fur babies and- no, I'll stop there).There should be an easier way to connect with my readers outside of my blog. Or perhaps I should stick to using my blog? Granted I don't want to overload it with useless pictures of food, my fur babies, and random life things from random life moments. Any suggestions, ya'll?

On another note, I just started chapter four of my book, though I won't lie: It's coming roughly along. Sometimes writing certain scenes is just meant to be filler. But then I ask myself: What's the point of filler crap? After all, if it's boring ME, it's certainly going to bore you, dear readers. Though I believe this chapter is about to serve a purpose.... Guess I'll find out when I'm done and get to post it on my Changing Kathryn blog site. And SPEAKING of...! Check out Ch.2 coming soon to the teaser chapters blog! Can't wait to hear what ya'll got to say, good or bad :D

Thanks!

It's November Time!

I am writing, as promised, and with a legit announcement: To celebrate the first day this wonderful late fall month, I am formally and cordially inviting YOU, dear readers, to test-drive (or should I say read?) my first teaser chapter of my book-in-progress. There are many new words, comments I have written for myself, and well, a lot of plot details to keep track of, and thus I have to know: Does it all work? Is it more confusing than entertaining? Is it too easy to get bogged in all the "newness"? These are necessities for me to know so that I may succeed. Also, as I have been using GoogleDrive/Docs so there will be many errors as GDocs doesn't catch everything that word does (but I have my reasons for using this; at least for now).

Now, if you are familiar with my blog, you might have seen what's below from "Requesting All Readers". If not, then here's the deal: If you're just reading this to read it, that's fine. But in the way of critiquing, if you so wish to do so but have never done this before, here are a few ideas for what to comment on:

• Errors
• Legibility (hard to read/understand v. easy to read/understand)
• Likability (hated it v. loved it) 
• and please explain WHY (instead of "I hated this" explain "I hated this because..." - if you can't think of anything super explicit, still give as best a reason as you can)
• Things to elaborate on 
• Things I should detract from
• Things to delete
• Things I should add
•  Whatever else you wish to focus on

Well, that's it. Email me if you don't wish to post publicly.
