Ramble

I hate getting stuck in writing. I though I had part of the second book to Branded (throwing around the idea of FORSAKEN for the title...) but I'm starting to realize that I don't like it that much and I'm not sure if it's really going to work. I have a vague idea but not sure about the details. It's not a major thing I'm stuck on, the general story line is all there, just this one part... So frustrating. I'll figure it out though, I always do. It always seems like I figure it out at the most random times and in the weirdest places. It makes me laugh sometimes...

Just a ramble now...

Is it just me or are angels cropping up everywhere now? I've recently seen at least 3 new books come out recently that are centered around angels. They are all VERY different takes than mine but still. Then I saw one of those side adds the other day on facebook for a movie called Legion I think that is about a fallen angel. Now, most of these books and such are about fallen angels and mine isn't but man, I guess there really is no such thing as an original idea. I was quite excited when I had the idea for Branded cause I'd never heard of anything else out there like it. It seems all these other people beat me to publication. Dang them... lol

Need some input

So I'm curious what all of you think of when you think angels. As most of you know this is the paranormal element in my new book. If you haven't read it it is based in a very NON religious sense. Well, I kind of take that back, the angels in my book are people who have died and they are sent to judgement where they are either condemned or exalted. But other than that it's not religious.

So, the reason I'm blogging is I'm wondering what each of you think my angels should have the ability to do should they happen to be able to get back into the "real" or at least "alive" world, perhaps call it undead I suppose. And just so you know, my angels DO have wings. Deal with it if you don't like it! haha So ya, should they have any kind of supernatural abilities? I'm curious what all of you think? Thanks!

I love the "ah ha!" moments!

I had a HUGE breakthrough tonight with my new book! This book has still been a fairly new idea in my head so I haven't totally solidly known where it was headed. I had a general idea but I wasn't very happy with it. And considering the amount I have written thus far should be about a third of the book I was getting a little anxious about it. But tonight I FINALLY figured it out! I love moments like this in writing where things just finally slide together and you think "that's it!". I am still using a few pieces from my original idea but it is so much better now! I am so excited!

Now, I have to put a little side note, not really for any reason other than to make myself feel a little better. I have been working on this project for about 3 months now and am frustrated that I haven't gotten very far. With my last book, Ever Burning, it only took me that long to finish the first draft! BUT (and I have to keep telling myself this) when I was writing Ever Burning we did not own the golf course, and especially were not just figuring out what the heck we were doing. I've been working six hours a day AND I'm also pregnant now. So, like I said, this part was more for making myself feel better than anything.

Whew! Glad to have gotten that out of my system! So anyway... If you want to read this project as I go along head over to my website www.KearyTaylor.com to check out the latest!

Thanks!

Cover

So this is the cover I have designed for my new book for now. Titles may still change and to be honest I'm still unsure if this will actually develop into a series. We'll see but it's just been driving me crazy to not have a cover so here it is for now! What do you think?
