Review for The Dark World

So I log onto Facebook today, prepared to see what notifications await me, when I see a wall post on my wall from a friend who'd brought a copy of the Dark World a month ago.

This is her amazing review (I couldn't believe she wrote it, honestly.):

A truly amazing & inspired writer's fantasy of the "other world" of vampires has come to life in this mind-bending and hard-to-put-down book. You really see the characters come to life and the settings feel so incredibly realistic, it's like your very own movie. Creative, mysterious, suspenseful; all but boring. I literally have to snatch it away from my boyfriend so I can finish it.

I love it. The simple prolouge will have you hooked by page two.
This book earns a fabulous 5 STARS hands down !
It's simple, you'll look at other Dracula stories and movies in a completely different persective after reading The Dark World.

Kudos to a very good book.

And with that, I get some rest. Night, writers. :) It's things like that ^ that make me love what I do.

Late-night editing

I decided to pass the time by continuing my editing on The Dark World. It's going well thus far. I've realized how...terrible my writing was when I was 16 (and wrote the first draft of the The Dark World), and how I've now grasped the concept of showing the story, not telling it.

It's made writing such a joy, honestly.

:)

Just wanted to do a quick update, I hope you all are well.

<3 Happy Writing.

By the way, my mind has been taken over by zombies. They are everywhere. My boyfriend is always playing some zombie game, I got him hooked on The Walking Dead (the tv show), and I finally got him to watch this anime that came out last year called Highschool of the Dead. It's...it's really annoying, now actually.

I don't know, zombies just don't do it for me. Doesn't help with the zombie nightmare every single night where I'm trying to run but feel as though I'm being miserably held back.

Anywho, yes, zombies are taking over everything in the media...etc. I'm not a fan. Vampires...always my cup of tea. They're just more...there's more of a story there depending on how you want to do it. With zombies...if you change it up too much, they're no longer zombies and there no longer becomes a point to them. Y'know?

I'm rambling.

Back to editing.

Editing The Dark World

It's going well enough. :D Watching The Powerpuff Girls as well which is doing wonders for my nostalgia.

Though I must stay, looking at my book after how many years and going about editing it in a different way, I'm awfully glad I'm editing it this final time. I've grown a lot as writer since I wrote the very first draft, so I find myself sighing heavily, highlighting what's wrong, and then quickly correcting it.

I hope others like it. By the second book, the story should make more sense. :)

Excitement

I know I haven't updated in a while and I'll make time to update daily or at least every other day. I don't know. Anyway, I'm just here to say I'm still writing The Immortal's Guide, up to Chapter 13, glad of where it's going.

Now speaking about my books, the first one, The Dark World, has sold 5 copies currently and those who purchased a copy have agreed to write a review for it once they're finished it.

So that's that.
I'm currently in Florida, writing as much as I can. Currently job searching to pass the time and by January, I want to head to college.

That's about it, methinks. Thanks for reading. :D

And stop by the link up there to check out the book and see if you wanna buy it. Or not.
