Currently I am still working on my own vampire novel. I’m hoping to put a new twist on an old idea! My character development is coming along nicely, but I was really struggling with the narration component. After getting some wonderful advice from some awesome ladies (a big thank you to Carey and Kim!) I have decided to use an alternating first person narration style. I’m pretty excited about this and can’t wait to see how this all turns out. The novel is still in its very beginning stages, but I have completed a rough outline of where I want it to go. Regardless of if this ever gets published I am enjoying the experience of writing and creating a world of my very own.
Current Reading Projects September 21, 2008
I have decided to try reading two books at once – one adult book and one young adult. I have chosen this structure to expose myself to a vast amount of literature and topics. Also, I wanted to be able to recommend good reads to my 7th grade students. As soon as I finish books I will begin posting reviews again. I also have in the back of my mind the possibility of completing the reviews for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. I’m trying to experience some other literature right now and would need to revamp both of those books in order to make a decent review so for now that project is on hold.
Adult Fiction Selection: From Dead to Worse by Charlaine Harris
Young Adult Selection: In the Forests of the Night by Amelia Atwater Rhodes
Blog Break… September 13, 2008
I haven’t written in awhile, I know. I hope to get the book reviews back up and running in the very near future! Keep checking back!
