I stop writing this morning because the next part

I stop writing this morning because the next part of the scene will be best written all at once, and I know what it will be. I'm excited, actually. I love it when I can see this much ahead so that I know what I'll be working on when I next sit down to write. Then, from that, the next scene will flow, and so on it goes until we reach the end.
The end, however, is still far away. We've a lot of ground to cover first. Right now, there's a disagreement, and a door bolted from the inside.
And the rain. The incessant rain.

The image above is a page from The Gathering, way back where it all started, that day when Ravenna came to me and took me to a cave. Teach them from the heart, she said, and ended up in a book.

I was unhappy with the original title I'd come up

I was unhappy with the original title I'd come up with for Wilde Grove Book 6, but I finally settled on a new title that makes my heart sing. And we also have a cover!

The ebook is available on pre-order from Amazon, and Kobo and others will follow. Both ebook and paperback can also be pre-ordered from my shop.

This morning's writing went well. I always wondered when I would use a particular Otherworld journey I myself made some time ago now, and today was the day. It fits perfectly, and is pretty dramatic! I told Morghan she was taking risks, but hey, no one ever listens to me.

What chapter am I on now? I don't know - I haven't

What chapter am I on now? I don't know - I haven't been paying attention. But today, a little slower, going back through a conversation a couple times.

Lots of world building here. The history of Wilde Grove, its purpose, the training of the Beacons. The world of the Fae, the disintegration of the veil between the worlds. Checking it makes sense, checking it's coherent.

Wait, I just thought of a question Clover needs to ask. I'll be right back.

New yarn chosen, a beautiful moody merino. I'll be getting this on the loom before the end of the day, I hope. I've plenty of scarves already, so will make more tarot bags, perhaps, or something similar, as time allows.

Up bright and early, got the file open (I write on

Up bright and early, got the file open (I write on Scrivener, if anyone wants to know) and whizzing along.
Morghan! It's so nice to have a proper chat. You and Winsome and Ambrose, together again. I missed you. And another new character- the new doctor has finally arrived in Wellsford. Oh my goodness! I like them already, very much.
But Morghan. Your plan sounds well, a little risky. Are you sure about it?
Whizzing along, then need to look something up. Most of my research for these books involves looking up things in the other Wilde Grove books 📚.
I need to pause for the day and think about what is happening. I was expecting this part of the storyline, but some time spent at the loom letting things float around in my mind - that's the best call right now. Except I finished the last length and have taken it off to make tarot card bags, so a trip to buy more yarn is in order.

Writing away, looking for the flow state, that mag

Writing away, looking for the flow state, that magical state of being where I'm not thinking, not deciding, not straining, just letting the story come.
The characters speak to me. Erin takes me back to Ash Cottage with her. Hello Burdock, my bestest good boy. Ah, Stephan, there you are as well. I stand in the shadows of the kitchen while they make tea and toasted sandwiches, and I listen to them talk, catching up on their day, and as they do this, I get a better idea of what has been happening in Wellsford and Wilde Grove in the six months since the end of The North Star.
Then Erin says something, and I stir to attention. What was that?
Goodness, I had no idea that was coming! Not an inkling.

A sunny day to end the month on, and I've reached 20k words, which is where I wanted to be by this date.

Day 10: 3020 words.
