Kindle Vella and Sterling Silver Chapter 1

Happy Friday!

I have some exciting news! A few years ago I put my YA vampire hunter book up on Wattpad chapter by chapter and it did fairly well. That draft was by no means perfect, but I loved it for what it was and enjoyed sharing it on there for readers.

And now, years later, I'm sharing it on a new platform: Kindle Vella! I've wanted to try this platform out for a while, but just have not had the time or had the right project. Sterling Silver has been edited and revised and pretty much rewritten in a lot of ways. I think it's finally strong enough to stand on its own and is deserving of being published on a platform where people can pay to read it.

About Sterling Silver:

Tabitha Sterling had her life mostly figured out. Go to high school, hang out with friends and hunt vampires at night. Until Sebastian showed up. Sebastian blows into town to warn her about Alistair, old enemy of her family of vampire hunters, who has his gaze set on Tabitha. As Tabitha and Sebastian fight to figure out what Alistair's end-game is, she must come face to face with her family's past and the truth of why she's between Alistair and the Moirai's game of tug of war.

This book has been my comfort book for years. I've gone back to it time and time again. Written and rewritten it. Reworked characters, plotlines, questioned literally everything about it. I've put it away thinking I needed to give up on the story and then taken it back out a few months later because I couldn't ignore it's siren call. Tabitha and Sebastian have seen me through some of the worst and best times and writing their story has brought me a lot of joy and happiness during so many different seasons of my life.

So, I hope you enjoy this story and the first episode of Sterling Silver! I'll be putting out new episodes every Wednesday and Friday for the next few weeks.

Friday in Review: Fictional Vacation/Would you Rather

Happy Friday! So, they awesome Lily Cat tagged me in this fictional vacation/would you rather challenge and I am so excited to do this. It sounds so fun! Alright so here's the deal: ~ Include the graphic Madeline made. ~ Answer the Questions ~ Tag some other people if you feel so inclined Let's jump right into this! Would you rather... Train with demigods for the summer at Camp Halfblood OR attend Hogwarts to learn some spells for a semester? These movies were a disgrace to the books buuut I needed a gif so here you go haha How is this even a question? ;) Camp Halfblood of course! I adore the Percy Jackson series, so I would do just about anything to be a halfblood for the Summer. The real question is, who would my parent be?? My enneagram four side who loves being special and different wants me to be a kid of one of the big three... maybe Hades just to make myself extra special and unique from everyone else ;) But m...

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! ...
