Have moved on this novel "The Solitary And The Mercenary". National Novel Writer's Month, I was able to do over 86,000 words, going deep into the second book of this dual volume story. I have now concluded where in the first book to form a breaking-off point and we are looking at approximately 145-150,000 words for that volume. I'm coming up with more and more ideas for the second book. And when that one is finished, a third one may find its way to my inspirational mode. However, if there is a third book it will take place months after the second book ends.
On a spiritual note, it appears that finances and circumstances will not allow me to take classes in order to get my Science of Mind ministerial credential. Until royalties from the book roll in, that is a vision that will be placed on the back burner for now. Not cancelled, just postponed. :D I'm looking at four years of training and possibly 5,000 dollars total for the classes. I just do not have that kind of time, let alone money. In the meantime, though, I have contended myself with continuing my studies in Wicca/Witchcraft either on a solitary practitioner level, or with a group of you tube vids at my disposal for learning and insight. I've also determined I will teach myself Science of Mind as I have the books and some lesson plans available to implement on my own in between writing and studying magick.
All is well.
The last CT scan I had was over a week ago and so far the oncologist has not pulled me in or sent me bad news. So... the no-news-is-good-news thing is in play and I'm riding it for all it's worth. :D
I have plans, my friends. Plenty to keep me busy and I will share more as we get closer to the publication of the books. I hope to upload videos to YouTube as well once I get myself a bit more presentable. I have to cut my hair and determine a look for me that I feel comfortable with on camera. Yes, okay, in that respect I may fall into a bit of a vanity scenario, but let me tell you if I didn't consider it, I'd scare people off. This face and no make up? Uh... no. Not gonna happen. LOL!
I have been losing some weight with the Paleo/no carb diet, but not as quickly as I'd like it to happen considering I've been on it for a month. Still, it is happening so I can't complain too, too much. :D
In the meantime... writing, studying and applying what I'm learning... this is my life. Once the book is published I will hopefully be able to put together a Publishing Party on Facebook. If you're into Bromance or know others who are, then this party may just be something you'll be interested in. I'll give more details as we move along.
I also will be putting together a website for pictures, videos, updates on the book, excerpts, cover art and things all dealing with my Bromance stories, as well as many other things that inspire the Bromance aspect of entertainment. I'm excited. I've already put together a FAQ sheet and an 'About The Author' snippet for some of the pages for the website. I've also put together a Bromance store on Zazzle for lovers of Bromance. No art as yet, but that's coming. Some of the buttons and things have quotes from my story. You can find it here: http://www.zazzle.com/dimenlienprojexts Proceeds from products sold on this store will be applied to the purchase of Book 2's cover as well as other artwork to create more nifty items such as more mugs and tee-shirts. Thanks for taking the time to check out the store and this blog! Hope to see you in the Bromance Universe!
Hugs,
Janalyn Robnett
