Book 2

Alright Everyone,
I might be premature in putting this out there, but I feel like I want to give you all an update on how Book 2 in the Cobbogoth series is coming.  So far it's coming along much better than I expected.  After having spent 5 years writing the first book, that's not really saying much.  But, I suppose Cobbogoth was much more about learning how to write a book, and now that I've got that under my belt, things are moving along a lot faster and smoother than I anticipated. 
That being said, KinStone Publishing is still planning on a late 2013 release, because all of the design work and everything still has to happen, which takes time.  But, things are looking good otherwise. 

I guess I'm mostly relieved, because I wasn't sure how quickly I was going to be able to write Book 2 on account of the fact that I've never written a second book in a series.  However, what I'm finding is that part of the reason Cobbogoth took so long to write, is because I had to make my world fit in our world and with our world's rules in order to make it believable.  Now that I'm in New Cobbogoth, I get to make up the rules. That's very liberating. 

Unfortunately, hiccups can still happen along the way.  For instance, I could get finished writing this first draft and my good friends (who know that I love them enough that they can tell me the truth) might inform me that what I thought was a work of genius when I was the only person reading it, is, in fact, complete rubbish.  That would probably set me back a bit.  But since I run everything by my husband--who bores easily when I read to him and so far has been pretty excited about what I've been reading him--I think we're in good shape.

Seriously though, I can't wait to introduce you all to the world of New Cobbogoth! Once I've completed the first draft, I'm fairly certain I can reveal Book 2's title to you all, which will thrill me to no end. 

That said, what are all you aspiring writers working on right now?  Post a link to your blog and I'd love to come check it out.  It'll give me something to look forward to during my writing breaks!  :)

  2. "I must admit to some excited squealing"

    I laughed out loud at that part, Erisnyx! I'll admit that I've been doing a bit of excited squealing myself. Thanks for checking in!

  5. When my aunt gave me a signed copy of Cobbogoth, I set it on the shelf and didn't pick it for a while. But when I did, I loved it. It was the greatest story I have read since Hex Hall. You are a wonderfully talented author.
