Game On, Kyra, Game On

FRIDAY!

Gigantic thank yous to everyone who commented on my IWSG post on Wednesday! I have just finished replying to all the comments, and I feel so very lucky to have so many people supporting me! Also, thanks to everyone who showed support for Madeleine's new book yesterday, I know she really appreciates it!

So ... the Game On Blog Tour starts on Monday and I am SO EXCITED! See, CAPS LOCK excited lol! I am still nervous, but mostly, I can't wait to get the book out there and finally show it off! The complete list of blog tour stops is up on the Game On Blog Tour page, so you can see where I'll be and what I'm doing. I will post where I am daily anyway, but it's good to have the list there so you can check it in advance if you so wish. There is a lot of cool stuff going on, and a few giveaways. It should be fun!

P.S - Just want to say again, if you were expecting an email from me about participating in the blog tour and you didn't get one, please let me know ASAP, thanks!

Yesterday, I had a major breakthrough in Jesse's story. I'd been stuck for more than a week, staring at it, and wondering if it was even the right story to tell. But finally, the muse returned and I managed to get 3000 words done. I now only have two and a half chapters left to write of the first draft before I can start editing!


I really thought I had so much more to say, but I guess I don't - first time for everything, right? :p

Hope you all have a fab weekend!

    Yay for Jesse's story being told! I really loved this character. Although, I may be a bit partial to him, since he's going to be featured on my end of things for your Game On tour, LOL.

    Seriously, Kyra I really did fall in love with this very sweet character, and I think his story will be epic. Can't wait to read all about it.

It's here! WIP: The Movie!

I can't even tell you have excited I have been about this! It's early, so I have only got round to a few entries so far, but I am having a blast reading them all! Thanks to all who have participated, and of course, to my awesome co-host, Rachel ! It's time for me to introduce you to the characters from my - as yet untitled - WIP. When I first started this blog, my WIP was different, so this might confuse some of you (sorry about that!). This is Leah Walker, my MC. Technically, she is a little young, but she looks perfect! Leah is a physiotherapist for an American soccer team, but she is actually an English girl with a, let's say, colourful past. Radleigh McCoy is the ridiculously good-looking, not to mention exceptionally arrogant soccer player who challenges Leah in every way possible.  This is Freya Phillips. Freya is Leah's best friend and roommate. She works as a coach for the soccer team, and she is both very kind, and totally wild! Th...

IWSG: Books Sales

IWSG time! I'd like to start by thanking Alex J. Cavanaugh for this fab bloghop, and today in particular, it is just the motivation I need to get me blogging again! Today, I'm talking book sales. Now, I don't really know if there is any kind of "average" amount of books sales when you're an indie author. I don't know what is considered a good amount of book sales per month, or whether I am doing better or worse than others. What I do know, is that I am happy with the amount of books I've sold. I self-published because I want people to read my work - and people are reading it - yay! My concern is - what if the sales stop? I know after a time, everyone's book sales will slow down, but I have this fear that I'll check my sales every couple of weeks to find that nobody cares about reading my books anymore.The dreaded 0 will show on my Kindle sales, and I will plummet into a pit of despair. It hasn't happened yet, but Game On has onl...

Camp NaNo Update, and details

To begin with, I want to say thanks again to Emily for allowing me onto her blog as a blogging mentor! Being interviewed is always fun, and Emily is awesome! So, to Camp NaNo! Four days in and I'm still on track! Well, I will be when I finish today's writing. :D I mentioned a while ago that I was planning to battle boy POV, and I'm doing my best to get through it. However, it is hard, so I decided to turn my NaNo story into dual POV so it will be 50% less difficult! I'm not against cheating to get the work done. :p Just to give you a quick recap on what I'm doing for NaNo: In Game On, I have a young soccer player named Jesse Shaw, and he proved quite popular during the A-Z challenge. So, I decided he needed his own spin-off story! It's set at the end of the soccer season, when Jesse and his best friend go to London. I don't have a proper synopsis yet, but this is my guideline for now Soccer sensation Jesse Shaw literally has the world at his fee...
