I'm up to 27516 words on Cinder Ugly. It would be more, but I took Friday off to watch Live PD and then the yardwork I did Saturday screwed up my wrists enough that I took that night off, too. There's a pivotal scene coming up next and I have no idea what's gonna happen. Should be fun writing.
I started work on the blurb for Ugly and the Beast. Here's what I've got so far:
Jeni Braxxon’s life as a up-and-coming supermodel hit the skids
when she got cursed. The asshole who did
this to her is rotting in jail, but the curse remains, leaving her as ugly as
the north end of a southbound dump truck every damn night. Still, she’s trying desperately to hold onto
her old life. As if this case of the
gruesomes and impending unemployment wasn’t enough for a gal with serious
esteem issues, someone snatches her nephew.
The fight is on to find the boy before something seriously heinous
happens to him. With the help of her
friends and a magical cat, Jeni will face anything this world or the next throws
at her. If she’s lucky, she might just
make it out alive.
Yeah, it's pretty rough, but you get the idea of what goes on, so it's not totally lame. Or is it? I'll keep working on it.
UatB is at the readers and so far, I'm feeling good about it. We'll see if that holds once the responses start to come back.
I tell ya, it's nice to be working again. The writing is flowing pretty well and with it, excitement for other stuffs keeps popping into my head. But I'm staying focused. Fingers crossed the excitement is still there when I sit down to write SCIU #4 or DH #3.
Oh, and I did some pricing stuffs this weekend. I raised the prices on Sleeping Ugly, Accidental Death, and Natural Causes to $3.99. When Ugly and the Beast comes out, it'll be $3.99, too. Just trying to get my books in line with the market and each other.
I hope y'all aren't bored with this random stuff, but it seems like the only stuff I can hold in my head long enough to write an entire post.
How are things with you?
Random is good. I like the blurb. A little futzing and it should be good.
ReplyDeleteYay for words, boo for wrists, yay for raising prices. I need to assess my books and see if they meet my word count breaks on price, and are in line iwth hte market. When I get time.
We had rain. It was nice. Not much, but this time of year, a little is better than nothing.
Yes, I still hate DST. It totally screws up everything--the springing forward in particular. Ugh.
I have to go to Wallyworld for dog and cat food. Then Stormy and I have our Monday afternoon date. Fun times.
Hang in there!
