Blood Princess is getting a title change! I will now refer to it as "Princess of Lost Souls" 😊
How I Got My Agent (featuring DVpit)
The short: I'm now represented by Zabé Ellor of The Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency!!! The long version... Around October 8, I was really anxious about Pitch Wars results. Like.

DVpit and the Importance of Community
Writing is a solitary profession, which might be preferable if you're an introvert like me. But if you want to be a traditionally published author, you have to get along with others: your agent, editor, and other writers. For a while, I felt that most writers in online communities were in it for themselves, maybe … Continue reading DVpit and the Importance of Community

Chrono Trigger’s Wind Scene
(I need a break from Pitch Wars revisions.) Ah, Wind Scene. Also known as the overworld music from 600 AD in Chrono Trigger. And for me, the most nostalgic song of the entire game. Yes, even the main theme song. Even Schala's theme. Check out my most recent favorite rendition by Malcolm Robinson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUFELL5hHbg It … Continue reading Chrono Trigger’s Wind Scene
Mapping a Fantasy World
My next big fantasy, "Blood Princess" (working title) will require a full world map 😉 So, decided to make one from scratch. Now, I'm no geologist, but I know just a taaad about continental drift. I started with an oval of the world, drew some fault lines, and then had some land mass bleed out … Continue reading Mapping a Fantasy World
The Epic World of Starrs by Adelle Yeung
Fifteen-year-old Michelle saves the world on a daily basis…with her trusty video game controller, of course! Naturally, she jumps at the chance to play an experimental virtual reality game.
The beautiful fantasy world of Starrs? Check. The power to mold matter? Check. No reset button? Wait, she didn’t sign up for this!
Turns out Starrs is really real, and to make matters worse, Michelle’s interference awakens the Cycle of the Six Moons, a series of devastating trials that will devour the universe.
Fighting the apocalypse was way easier when danger stayed on the other side of the screen, but Michelle finds a secret weapon in her new-found powers. She uses them to rescue the crown prince of a powerful magic kingdom from their sworn enemies, a technologically-advanced cult that strives to eradicate magical blood.

Voting for Mockup Covers
Throughout February, I created mockup covers for my next book, The House with Two Faces (which I guess I should abbreviate to HTF, like I did with CSM). For the first few days, I kept adding and changing things, then added and changed more covers. Here's what the first poll looked like: 1, 3, and … Continue reading Voting for Mockup Covers
