Writing Update

Hey Everyone,

How is everyone doing? I know I don’t post a lot and I’m trying to change that. Like I’ve said in my first post, I’ve never been a blogger before. I’m not sure what to talk about. So, for this I’m going to talk about how my books are coming along.

The third book to the Reapers Trilogy is going, but not as fast as I would like. I’ve been in college for the past few months and working on the book has been put to the side. I still try and write it every now and then, just to keep the juices flowing. I still haven’t even come up with a title for it. Right now I just call it ‘The Reapers Victims’. I do not like it and hope to come up with something better. The book is going to be about all the points of views from the victims in the first book. She kills over 40 people. I won’t be writing everyone’s points of views, only the main people. I was going to write the last book about her escaping from the mental institution she gets sent to, but my buddy gave me the idea to write about the victims. I really liked it so I stuck with it. I can say some chapters are longer than others, but some chapters in the first book were short as well. I’m really excited about it and have about 5 chapter finished already. I know it doesn’t sound like a lot, but as I said, some chapters are longer than others.

Another book I’m trying to write is a fantasy. I have never written a fantasy or SiFi book before. I never had interest in it, but after writing a fanfiction, I had to make it into a real book. So, there are actually two books right now. The first book is ‘The Tainted War: Nithanean series ‘. This one basically introduces all my characters that are going to be in the second book, which is already written. Well mostly written, I’m still fixing it up. I don’t want to publish it though until I have the first book to it written. The second book will be called ‘Finding Sunny: Nithanean series’. I’m also not very confident about the books. Like I said I’ve never written anything like it. It’s not my usual genre to write, so I’m not sure if it will be a good seller. I might put out a post about the books and I would love any feedback. I may put out a few excerpts from each book that is already written. I have gotten feedback on the second book. People seem to like it, but I want a broader group of people that would be interested. I don’t want to put it out there if no one will buy it.

I have a few more books I would like to get into once I finish ‘The Reapers Trilogy’. One is an idea my dad actually came up with after talking to my daughter. I don’t have a name for it. It is basically about a child who can hear her dead grandmother. Her grandmother died and was cremated. After the funeral the child started hearing voices coming from the cremation box. Her family assumes it’s just make believe. It isn’t until bad things start to happen, they realize there is more to the child’s story. The child eventually begins to hurt the family and others around her, all because her grandmother tells her too.

The second one is actually my daughters idea. She wants me to write about a queen and her evil daughter. Her daughter becomes evil from a rare ring that she finds in one of the storage rooms of the castle. The queen has to do whatever she can to bring her daughter back to the good side. My daughter is really excited about this one. She made me write down all the main points and asks me all the time if I’ve written more of it. It’s all because she decided to play a princess one day who became evil from a ring.

Well that’s all I got for today. Let me know if you got any ideas for the title to the third book of the Reapers Trilogy or if you want to hear more about my fantasy book idea. I would love to hear any feedback.

Thank you all and have a great day,

-Shelby
