The Writers Life

Well when last I shared with you guys I had just finished my novel. Well I am now in the query stage of things. I sent out 10 query's last night and have received 2 rejections which I am fine with. It is 2 closer to the right Agent. I know my Agent is out there just waiting to take my book and share it with the world.  I have also been asked to do an interview for my book which is really exciting! 

I will keep updating as this adventure goes.

Stay Magical

News. Updates. All together exciting stuff!

Well this is an exciting moment for me. The other night I pulled an all nighter and I have some exciting news! "Shadows of Pandora" Book 1 in the Evermore Trilogy is FINISHED!!! Yes you are reading that right it is done! I am at this moment polishing it up. But wait there is more. Tomorrow I will be working on my query letter, Monday morning I will be sending out query's to several agents. So get ready to hear about my agent hunting process. I am beyond excited to start this step. This also means that my Official site will be getting Character bio updates. I will be introducing a few new characters on there as well as a full synopsis for book 1. This means the teaser will go away and you will finally get to find out about Shadows. My book is also currently sitting with a professional editor she has given me the green light to query so this has been an exciting week for me. I really can't contain my excitement. I am so looking forward to sharing my world with all of you who have become my fans. I am beyond excited to be sharing this news with everyone. I also have an official Facebook page that you can follow me at. Please share it around.

Sorry I have been away again everyone. I have some exciting news though for "Shadows of Pandora". My book is currently sitting with my Editor friend. She is going over it and then I will be doing the final edit before looking for an agent. I am also working on the last 2 or 3 chapters of my book. I am so very close to the end of it. I am really excited should be Agent hunting in a month! Sadly Health issues have kept me from doing a lot of writing the last few weeks but I am better now and back in full swing and should be finishing my book shortly I am really excited for this. I am still about 10,000 words short of my goal but I still have these last few chapters to go and then one last edit. This is really an exciting time for me and I can not wait to start looking for my Agent. I will of course keep you updated as I go through that as well. I am looking forward to the future that is for sure! Stay Magical Gwen

Happy New Year

Happy New Year from Gwen The holidays were crazy and busy but so much fun. I had to put writing away for a while just to do all the things I had going on. Was such a great holiday season though. I am back to full writing and I am aiming for being done and shipping my book to my Editor by the end of the month. Then Agent hunting will begin, I have been reworking everything in a few of the chapters trying to introduce the characters to you guys better. I really want you to feel these people so I had to fix a bit. I did take some wonderful time over the holidays to read and enjoy myself a bit. I started to read "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. It is a brilliant book and an amazing love story. I love this authors writing style and the way she twists time travel and love together. I can not wait to read the rest of the series. Well off to spend the evening writing. Stay Magical Gwen♥

HI

I know it has been forever since I updated on this blog Lets see let me fill you all in on what has been going on. Well I have been writing like crazy for weeks now then about a week ago I hit writers block and I hit it bad. I was at the point that I was staring at my laptop screen willing the words to write themselves because I had nothing. Then yesterday it just went away and I had brilliant ideas and spent the night writing them. I think I am about ready to write the ending of my novel which would mean I have almost finished my very first novel. I have started editing already because I now know that my chapter 1 I have right now that a few of you have read will actually be chapter 4 or 5. I also have many areas that I need to lengthen and describe better. I am hoping that after editing and adding these new chapters and the last of my final chapters, that I will be closer to my word goal. I am still shooting for 78,000ish words. I know that I have skimped on some areas of my book and I will be going back and fixing those. I am getting closer and I am really happy with how close to finishing book 1 I am. It has been a long road and an even longer journey for me but I have loved every moment of it. Even when my life was out of control and I felt lost my world of Evermore was there for me. I loved that so much. I can not wait to share this book with the world so that you can all meet the characters and discover Evermore. Book one will introduce you to the world and the characters and open up so many questions for the readers questions that won't even really start to be answered till book 2 but that will be the fun of it. I am so very excited about this you have no idea. Stay Magical Gwen

A writers life for me.

I know I haven't blogged in about a month but I have a good reason. I have been writing nonstop my life has been filled with the words of Evermore and I have fallen further into the rabbit hole. I love it in here I have learned so much more about the world of Evermore. I have gotten to know Ariana and Garrett so much better their story is amazing and I cant wait to share it with everone. These characters long for their stories to be told they juat had to wait for the right story teller and here I am. The history of this world is magical and breathe taking. The characters have been through so much. I look forward to the day when each of you will be able to pick up the book and learn the stories for yourselves. Stay Magical Gwen
