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

Cover Reveal: Golden Touch!!

 Happy Tuesday!!  Today's the day! I turn 23 and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to share the cover for Golden Touch! I think this is by far my favorite cover my mom has ever done. It's crazy to think that this time last year Golden Touch was still just a first draft and I was in the middle of writing book 2 of the series. A defining part of my twenty-second year will always be having revised Golden Touch and written almost the entire Archive Series. And now I get to open up my twenty-third year with sharing the cover and writing book the first draft of book 5, the very last book in the series. God is so good guys. I really think He gave me Golden Touch and this whole series a few months before the events of 2020 started. He gave me a story I could get lost in, I could find joy in even during some of the hardest times of the year. And now I get to share the cover and I get to close out the series and I just pray and hope that God will use Golden Touch and

How to Write a Negative Character Arc

Anyone else love reading a train wreck? I find negative character arcs refreshing and fun to read and watch because not a lot of people do them. Like I'm a sucker for a redemption arc. I love characters that start out horrible and bad and "irredeemable" and then slowly redeem themselves and become the good guy. But from time to time I just love watching a good character go bad. Call me evil but I hope I'm not the only one who enjoys this. I've actually wanted to write this post for a while after rewatching Merlin last year and then over the past month me and a friend were rewatching Star Wars and I've always enjoyed the prequels because of Anakin's downward spiral. Also the last season of The 100, you watch as Octavia completes her journey to becoming one of the meanest, worst antagonists in the show. And that's saying something. The other day I really thought about what other characters who have negative arcs there are but I honestly couldn't th
