Hey, folks! Glad to be back. Things sure have gotten hectic since The Dawnwolf got published. Some quick news on that; the Second Edition is just about ready to go! Oh, and here's a cool little bonus; I added a special chapter at the end of this edition called "Behind The Scenes". As the name suggests, I go behind the story of The Dawnwolf's development. It's pretty thrilling, wouldn't you say? If you already have the book, don't worry; I might post it here later, or you can email me if you'd like to read it. It's not something I wish to wave in your face to leave you wondering.
On top of that I've been brainstorming over this year's NaNoWriMo project, Noctivagous. There are quite a few holes that displease me greatly, and I only have about a month and a half to complete it...but wait, wow! Where did the year go? It seems like just yesterday that I was writing The Dawnwolf!
At any rate, I hope to have some sort of epiphany that will help me with the outline and filling the plot holes.
But that's not it! Lately I've been working on yet another novel. It's completely and totally different from anything I've ever written before. Why? Because it's set in modern-day earth! Whoa, yes, Wolf just said earth!
I could blab all day long about it, but I've learned not to reveal too many spoilers, so here's the summary:
Meet Sonja Leoni, the 21-year-old lead singer of a rock-pop
band called FireHeart VII at the top of the billboards. Her life with the band
is everything you’d expect from the excitement of mainstream fame; the fans,
the paparazzi, and that one irksome band member, namely, Jared Augustine, who
makes it quite clear he has a thing for her.
But when she stumbles upon writer’s
block for the next album, an unexpected offer of help is extended from a simple
guitar-wielding individual she had bumped into a couple months before. This young man, Axle Garrett, an open-minded follower of Christ with a heart of integrity, proves his
worth in the position of a secondary guitarist and backup songwriter, despite
their drastic differences. But Sonja’s decision to permit Axle's assistance, forget
flipping her world around—it downright takes her from it as she is tossed into
a life-changing experience that she never knew she’d have. What’s worse; hatred
rises as Jared grows increasingly envious of Axle.
It's got something for everyone in it, really, but the moral of the story is how the band is changed by the incomprehensible actions done through Axle. Depending on who you are, you may or may not like it, but personally I've always wanted to write something like this and I'm quite intrigued by where it's going.
(Un)word Of The Day:
Integritous
Characterized by integrity: The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness: The state of being whole and undivided: "territorial integrity".
(I was thinking about this when I typed out the summary. I dunno about you, but I sure think that integritous should be a word if there's nothing else like it...)
That's it! Until next time!
Wolf
