Music choice for writing

I Was having a rather nice chat with a fellow Wrimo last November, for those of you new to my blog, wrimos are people who take part in national novel writing month. We was talking about chosen music for writing, now I find wordless music, such as Mozart, Beethoven and so on rather relaxing and thought provoking. He, on the other hand said he loved listening to music called death metal, I think that would kill my ears not only my brain.

You see, he writes quite dark and gothic, quite angry novels, so this helped him, he found it quite by mistake you know.  Where as, for me, I like to relax and fall deep into the world I've created, weather it be a fantasy world from my mind, or some kind of mutated London. 

Then again, I do like the beautiful sound of silence with the added tap tapping of my keyboard, well laptop keys. What I'm trying to say is, it is personal preference I guess as to what music a novelist listens to, if any. It just made me wonder if Stephen King listened to scary music to really bring out the thrills and scares.  You know what I'm trying to say? 

If not don't worry, I always have random thoughts like that, and sometimes, when there's no novel on the go. I will write them here.  Random really. 

Well, have a good Sunday, plotting for a possible romance novel for next month is under way.

Tatty bye my lovies 

It's finished!!!

So as you can tell, D.N.A is finished! Whoohoo. I started this story idea ages ago but never really finished it because of work! I'm so happy to have finished it, I made the characters better by far, they are so dynamic I'm quite proud of myself, one is so complex I don't even understand him at times.

Recently I enrolled on a writing course, writing novels for children, it's very i insightful for sure into the world of children's books, and let me tell you, children readers are so much more demanding than adults. There is so much that goes into children's books, language, plots, tones everything.

Well, February is on the way, the month of love, so I've decided to do a romantic story! Either, I'm going to rewrite a romantic vampire novel I wrote back when I was in my early teens, the early years of my writing journey when I wasn't very good at all. It was all he said, she said, they asked and so on.  My brother is very excited for me to do that. Or I can do a truely romantic classic of boy meets girl, they fall in love and so on. I have a title in mind, Stupidly Romantic, he's basically a tv face and instead of wanting expensive presents and attention he normally gives potential girlfriends, she just wants small romantic gestures, home cooked dinners, walks, things like that. I do like the idea of it but my brother is so happy for me to do the vampire on, he spent so many hours listening to my ideas and drafts, it's hard to put it off any longer. He has been waiting years.

Diilemma for sure!  Well I will have a think and get back to you for sure.

Tatty bye and take care lovelies!

D.N.A part one

So hello everyone,

Sorry for the long gap in the blog, I guess that's life ah? I big gap between things?

So this was my idea a few days after my last blog, those of you who have seen or read my last blog would know this, but I have a story called DNA I have been mapping out for a while, and I even managed to knock out three, or was it four chapters? Well I really wanted to finish this one you see, so I have been working on this one, it's not cheating in my mind, it's a novel I started, one that is really good and what better motivation to finish than make it a part of this challenge, PLUS I can complete part two AND part three during the challenge. It's really good, I totally love it. I think I have a tiny crush on Shawn West my "baddie" he's such a bad guy, like Wesker from resident evil games but once he meets Sydeny Winslow he discovers he feel something he thought impossible. Love. I guess it's on the lines of a romantic thriller, it has pre world apocalypse, during the world apocalypse and the last has the fight to end and recover from the apocalypse.  But the main story line is West and Winslow and their love story,MIT truely has a happy ending, but the kind that makes you wonder.  It's a roller coaster of highs, lows, monsters, zombies, love, oh so much I really can't begin to write it all down. So I'm going to do my best to finish this one as novel number three. Then, maybe, as February is the months of love, I will do a complete romance, to coincide with valentines day.

So, that's the plan, along with a course I started I'm pretty busy, I have two letters to write to pen pals and I'm eagerly awaiting another from my best friend, check her blog out too ok, it's called a slave to the written word. I read it, her name is Kassie and she is such a good writer, while I'm big on dialogue and the characters thoughts, she is sooo good at inner thoughts and building the atmosphere, not to mention she's really good at erotica.   So check her out ok!

Have a lovely weekend what ever you maybe doing

Tatty bye.

Happy New Year one and all

Hello and welcome to 2014! A year I hope tp be full to the brim with excitment and everything life has to throw at you!  What's life without a throwing or two?

Well to kick start our new year together I wanted to share a very special character with you, she is a goddess from my novel 'The Birth of Arcane.' The first part of my Nightshades series, she is the kind of character where she is mentioned, very important but doesn't have a psysical presents.  I was rethinking her name for the past few days you see, it was then I realised there was so much to her that needed to be added to her bio within the second chapter.  

So, here's what I have come up with and I hope you like her.

Shivva, Goddess of Man and the Academy

Shiva was created after the Gods united to cleanse the world of man.  To them the world of man had become too destructive, they were killing one another with guns, items of destruction etc, (Basically us now a days.) so they took it upon themselves to unite as never before, and I mean all of the Gods, every religion, old and new, young and old, every god and goddess descended on earth with their champions and troops and the human race was cleansed leaving those worthy.  Every city was decimated, leaders were taken from their thrones and the world was once more returned to a land with out machines.

After the cleansing was completed the Hall of Creation was made as a gathering place for all gods and goddess to meet and monitor the world below. To show their new found union they elected Ra as their leader and created a new goddess.  It was decided that she must be created with balance, that she was female as Ra believed with a male sitting on the union throne it would serve as balance that their sign of Union be female. So it was decided she was created thus:

The benevolent God and Goddesses gave her a kind nature and a loving heart, they wanted her to shower the humans with love always, to always have them come to her and feel the goodness in her.

Yet the malevolent God and Goddess made her body cold like ice in order to counter the benevolent gifts, they wanted her to seem fearsome.  They also made her loving heart vengeful, they did this to balance her kindness with a negative feeling.

While the males wanted her to be strong and have the skill to use all man and Godly made weapons, the females wanted her to be beautiful and possess the wisdoms of Godly power.

With these combinations Shivva was born, while all God and Goddess were in attendance, one was late, a Hindu Goddess, she was given the honour of naming the new Goddess. At the sight of the new born Goddess she felt a shiver, but not in fear or cold, it was a shiver in her heart.  She took this as a sign and named her Shivva..

So that is the Goddess Shivva, the Goddes of Shivva's Skill Academy. I hope you like her, she is very motherly and such a wonderful character.

So, I will keep up with the blogs and inform you all of my challange.  Have a wonderful new year.

Tatty bye
