We finished Countermeasure. OMG! We finished Countermeasure! That was the thought floating around my mind for a few days after we completed our first long novel. It was a bittersweet feeling to know that the story we had hashed and rehashed, sweat and dreamt over had finally reached those two amazing words: THE END.
Add a commentI have a funny feeling in my chest right now. It’s as if I am mourning a good friend even though I know I will see him again another day.
Add a commentAs we get closer to the end of the first story in our series, I can’t help but think on how Chris and I got to this point. Born of necessity, an idea gave birth to a brand new adventure. From that moment forward, Trevor and Cassandra made their presence known in a big way and have continued to guide our steps.
Add a commentUnlike what many may think, writing is hard work. The creative process flows most times inhibited for many writers but every single one of them, creative souls, out there can tell you of moments where the chapters they wrote took an unexpected turn. Sometimes, by reading the book outline—if they had one—it put things into perspective easily where they can just rewrite the chapter slightly to get the desired results. Other times, even though they are following the desired path, the chapter doesn’t jive or something just feels wrong.
Add a commentCecilia and I were deep into conversation (as usual) about our characters. We spend a lot of time in character development and like to hash each “person” as a separate entity and give him or her an identity, almost like a little dossier of sorts. Even small characters get some development because we like to be able to feel the character when we write his/her dialogs.
