Thursday Throw Out

Hi all,
Welcome to another addition of the Thursday throw out! It has been a great week. I am feeling more confident, not because my book is selling like hot cakes, because it is not. Rather, because I have received a couple great reviews and I am hoping that will help people want to buy it more.

I have been attempting to press forward with Muse 2 whilst editing Scarred. I have not gotten far on either, because I force myself to start from the beginning when I have taken a break from a project. Basically, so I can acclimate myself to the feel of the novel again. I feel like my writing skills have gotten stronger since Muse Vol 1 and I believe it shows in Vol 2 and Scarred. Now if I could only find the time to write more often I would be right on track!!

I was hoping I could ask a favor? If at all possible could you please leave a comment after reading this? I am just trying to see how many page views are actually from readers, or if they are all from other sources?? you never know out here in cyber world. It does not need to be anything more than a one word answer, or you could ask a question, leave a comment, or leave a five page document on how bad I suck..I really don't mind :) I am just trying to get a realistic picture of my audience.

On to the teaser......


Muse Vol 2


“Just spit it out Cyrus.” I say with a sigh. I can tell he is choosing his words, but I am not in the mood to be placated.

He looks up at me, and I remember why I have spent so much time lusting after him. His golden eyes almost pierce right into me. “I understand that you are hurting, Stella, but if we are going to get him back we need to make a plan.” He says evenly.

“I can’t lose him.” I squeak, trying desperately to keep the tears from flowing.

He places a hand on my knee and I flinch with the contact. Pulling back, he sighs. “Your strength is what holds us all together. If you crumble, we all fall.”

Downward spiral throw out.

A word of advice. Never become a writer. Why? Well, I will tell you. Eventually, you start to believe your own bullshit.  Delude yourself into seeing things that aren't there. You are convinced at first that situations are innocent, then your friends say they are not, and you believe them. Just trust your instincts. Fairy tales are just that. Never going to happen. Especially not to me. So I open my mouth, loaded with misconceived information, that I didn't want to believe to begin with, and now I am pretty sure I fucked something up that could have pretty awesome. Ugg, I should be used to this by now, but I guess it never gets easier. I have deleted two posts this week, which I never do. I over stepped, caught up in a moment of irrationality, that I should have been smart enough to avoid. My apologies world, for not being better than my illness. Not this time. -------->BATSHIT

With a little help from my friends Thursday throw out

So I was given a some constructive criticism from a beta who's opinion I value greatly. She was not a fan of my original prologue for one of my books. I redid it with the suggestions she gave me. After several drafts, trying out different concepts, I finally had something I thought was acceptable. Unfortunately, I am still in love with my first idea. This is where you come in! Tonight I am posting both prologues for said book. I want to put it to a vote. If you could please read both versions posted below. Then, either leave the coinciding letter in the comments below or on the Facebook post that brought you to this page. You may also leave any comments or critique you may have below. The comments are not published unless I approve them, so if you would rather them not be visible please specify. Here We GO!!!!!

Every picture tells a story

So I have had time to process the suggestions given by my Beta and I have now organized them in such a way the my brain can process. 1. revamp prologue it sucks..well at least reword and add to it 2. Decide weather or not you want to take out things that personalize it to me...how much of myself do i want to leave on paper. 3. re-evaluate the refrences 4. it needs more muchness 5. suck it up..you can do this So here I sit staring at the picture that my daughter drew me, the back of which, where the first words of muse were laid out on paper.  It took me only a few seconds for this picture to inspire my story. Maybe if i stare at it long enough it will tell me how to proceed.
