A guilt ridden cyborg.

Your fears made flesh.

A fiancé's betrayal turns her into a literal monster.

The beast desires to kill again, but can she use her sliver of willpower to stop it.

I had to add a lot to Dreadful Of Wolf and Gods this weekend to adapt it into a novel rather than a collection of short stories.
Trevor's story needs to have a monumental moment where his motivations begin to be less selfish. Where he had more to accomplish than clicking his bloodlust for revenge.

And we finally have the final, text version of Issue 2 of The BulletProof Ghost! The reflection of the future and the grocery store are directly influenced by both Boonville and Tennyson, Indiana of my youth.

The new ending to Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods will drive the events of the following novel... if a publisher picks it up that it.

I fibbed a little since yesterday. I probably won't go directly into Chapter 3 for the 2nd draft. I've decided that as short stories the end of Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods, the ending is fine, but as a novel, I need to tie up some loose ends.

So I'm restructuring the end of the #book.

Next writing session will hopefully allow me to break into Chapter 3 (or 0 depending on your point of view) of Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods. Technically the short story version of Scarlet Sheets won a small award.

Looking forward to knocking out the whole book's 2nd draft by year's end.

I restructured a bit of the first chapter of Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods. I decided that Lynn hitting a naked guy turning into a werewolf was more interested than her dealing w a rando in a bar.

Have to catch the publishers' attention and grab the reader right away or all of this will fail. #booksky

I didn't hit my goal of finishing the second Chapter of Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods, second draft this weekend. I ended up altering quite a bit of Chapter 1 in order to make the events of 2 make more sense or add emotional weight to the end of Chapter 1. I'm close though.😅

I thought about adding a prologue to Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods with Trevor's back story section switched out from the Berserkers chapter. I suspect it might be too much too fast. Gonna keep it where it is.

If my jobjob's overtime permits, I'm going to attempt to knock out at least half of the second Chapter of the second draft of Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods tonight. Gotta keep pushing toward my one chapter a week goal.

Finished the second draft of the first chapter of Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods yesterday. I'm hoping to knock out at least a chapter a week until the end of the year. That should be all of the novel at that point.

Hoping to get at least up to 13k words of my 100k+ manuscript second draft of Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods this weekend.

Sarah and I are getting a used Subaru today, so I have to carve out some time later.

I might do a live write in on tiktok, we'll see.

Well, I got over 8k words and 20 pages down, so not close to my goal. Now I have a better idea how quickly I can knock out the second draft. I'm altering a lot more about the story than I thought, but it's just getting better with every session.

Yesterday involved a lot of rewriting ways to describe a werewolf being stabbed, shot or bleeding out. 😅

Well, it looks like Dreadful is getting a few more curse words bc I originally wrote it for a multi author anthology that didnt allow that. Now Trevor gets to drop eff bombs. 😅

When I say I've improved as a writer in the last several years, I wasn't kidding. Comparing the final version of the original short story 'Wolves in the Ice' vs Second draft of new Dreadful novel that folds that story into it's first chapter.

I'm off work tomorrow. I'm hoping to knock at least 20k words out of the second draft of Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods. I really think this book has a solid chance of being picked up by a publisher.

If you donate at least $5 to a food bank, post your receipt here and your email; I'll send you a free digital copy of my first comic book, The BulletProof Ghost.

I struggle less with writer's block and more with time block. My ideas are backlogged for years at this point.
Day 7 and this fact reflects the reality of writing for many of us. Sure, some writers finish a whole novel in a month but that's not always the case. If you're a writer, have you struggled with writer's block? What got you out of it?

Not really monitored at all. Read It at 14 and probably shouldn't have been.😅
