Sterling Silver Chapters 8-10

Hey everyone! Chapters 8-10 of Sterling Silver is now on Wattpad! If you don't know what it's about then here's the synopsis:

The daring and spunky TABITHA STERLING is the latest in a long line of vampire hunters in her family. After her father is killed during a hunt, she is forced to take up the responsibility when none of her other siblings are willing to. 

Three years later, during a regular night of hunting Tabitha bumps into a stranger, who, the next day is revealed to be the new boy at her school, the handsome, dangerous and alluring SEBASTIAN. After nearly killing him in the middle of English class, he tells her that he's there to recruit her to join the Moirai, a secret, worldwide organization of vampire hunters. He claims she must take up the spot that her father left behind, and at first Tabitha is resistant. But when Sebastian insists that he can teach her more about hunting than anyone else can, she reluctantly agrees to train with him. 

As Tabitha trains with Sebastian, they grow closer, and despite Tabitha's vow to never get romantically involved with a vampire, she just can't help herself. She and Sebastian are bonded through old history between their two families and an old foe who is after revenge against both of them. As they go on the hunt for a dangerous new vampire in town, long-buried secrets about Tabitha and her family are revealed and Tabitha must come face to face with her family's past.

The first ten chapters are officially on Wattpad for your enjoyment!

Here's a sneak peek from chapter 8:

Sandra nodded slowly, taking a bite of her food. Carlos cut into the conversation. "I understand. Your dad was a very independent man but his father trained him extensively. When his dad passed away, he asked for our organization to train him. He learned far more than he did from his own father."
That didn't mean Tabitha needed to be taught anything from them. Maybe her dad was just... not as good. Sebastian choked on a laugh and when she turned to glare at him, he covered his mouth with his fist.
He shook his head and grinned, coughing. "It's nothing... just that your father was an excellent hunter. Maybe he didn't have as strong of instincts as you do, but he was far more competent and better trained that you are when he was seventeen."
Tabitha narrowed her eyes and scowled. She set down her fork, folding her hands into fists on her lap. "So, your saying I'm horrible? How is that I've survived this long then, huh?"
From the other side of the table she caught Sandra giving Sebastian a warning look but he ignored her, facing Tabitha and giving her his undivided attention. "I'd say sheer luck. You're untrained and your instincts are all over the place. Don't you remember the other day? You didn't even get close enough to touch me with one of those little stakes of yours. Do you really think you could take down other real vampires?" 
Tabitha seethed. "Real vampires? What do you think I've been doing the last three years? It certainly wasn't hunting fake vampires."
"No but they also weren't the most powerful ones. They were scouts, or just regular vampires going about their lives. The ones that have been turned in the last century. Not the powerful ones. The ones that you should be scared of and should be learning how to take down. They lurk in the shadows, far too clever and old to be caught by a common hunter," he pointed his fork at her.
Tabitha forgot all about being civility. Her instincts flared and adrenaline flooded her system. In one quick, fluid motion she grabbed her fork and jabbed it down with all her strength into his thigh. Sebastian sucked in a sharp breath of surprise and fell out of his chair. Chairs screeched against the floor and suddenly everyone was on their feet.
Tabitha scowled and stood, throwing her napkin onto her plate. "Would you look at that. I just stabbed a real vampire in a matter of seconds."

How to Revise like a Pantser ft. Big Hero 6 Gifs

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you've had a great week so far and that you have a great Easter weekend ahead! We plan on going to my grandparent's on Friday to celebrate Easter with family and spending the night there so that'll be a fun time. :) Alright, so I contemplated doing an Easter-y post on here but I wasn't even sure what that would look like... So instead, I thought I'd do something fun and happy in honor of the celebration of Easter on Sunday. Without further ado, here is your Big Hero 6 gif filled revising process from a real life pantser: The end of your first draft is in sight! You type like crazy, stay up past your normal bedtime until it is finished. When you type The End, the satisfaction that you actually did this thing sets in. Guys, it is the sweetest feeling ever. Knowing you worked so hard to complete this draft and came out on the other side. Unscathed? Perhaps not. But triumphant? Definitely! That first draft is a total disast...

Best Resources for Writers

Happy Wednesday once more everyone! So recently I've been doing a lot of craft-learning and have discovered some pretty awesome resources that have been so helpful to me. I'm also contemplating trying my hand at a How To guide for writers. I've already written a How to Write a Serial book and it just needs to be touched up. I think I might make it one of my freebies for my newsletter. So then not only do you get a short story but also a how to guide cuz I realized a lot of the newsletters I sign up for come with how to guides or writerly resources. But anyways, here are some of my favorite books/podcasts/blogs that have been so, so helpful to me over the past few months: Craft Books: Go Teen Writers: Edit Your Novel by Stephanie Morril and Jill Williamson: This one has a little bit of everything in it and is perfect for beginners. If you've just started plotting your novel, are in the middle of writing it or have begun the editing process this is a must have!  ...
