It‘s been a wonderful, interesting ... nerve-wracking year. I think the last word sums it up nicely. After all, it’s been the year the writer in me spent on the edge of her seat—if not on pins and needles—waiting for the verdict to come in. Yes, it is an admission to reading reviews of my book. It had become a bit of an obsession, especially in the first few months. And yes, the nasty ones stung. Sometimes still do. But the few dark hours aside, I don’t let them deter me from my path. There will be criticism in the future; and while I’ll probably never grow as thick a skin as I would like to, I’m learning to listen to constructive criticism. Not to mention how much I appreciate the good reviews. They inspire me! Fill me with so much warmth, I feel like I can move mountains. It is not a secret that one of the best gifts for an author is a review, and in the spirit of Christmas, I would like to exchange gifts. I’m going to give a $50 Amazon Gift Card for one lucky reviewer when Till Death and Beyond reaches 50 reviews on Amazon! To enter the giveaway you either have to:
The winner will be chosen randomly, so no pressure about what you write. The review can be as long or as short as you want. All I want is your honest opinion! Merry Christmas!  I had plans of publishing the paperback version of Till Death and Beyond for ages. And finally I‘m so close, I can practically smell the ink.  As much fun as it was re-doing the book cover, formatting the text, or spending hours researching how to achieve all of this correctly, I’m looking forward to putting it behind me.
It’s a matter of days now, and I can’t wait! Today is one of those days when every line I write is crap, every word I read—sleep inducing. A lot of it has to do with the flu, I suspect. Or at least I hope so. Otherwise, I probably should just quit right now. Not that I will. Somehow, I always end up coming back to my writing. Today… today, however, is a day I needed a break. Being self-critical might be an important part of writing and editing process, but it also has a flip side to it. Especially when one is under the influence of cold medicine. So, I closed my WIP and opened Photoshop. I didn’t intend to work, but what started as an attempt to relax, turned into a scene I created because a few lines from Till Death and Beyond popped into my head and wouldn’t leave. I walked through the night like a shadow, I held no one close to my heart, Until the day that you reached me, Until you banished the dark.  Okay, so she is not exactly a shadow here, but I like the end result. Thought I’d share it. That is how I see Amira. At least one side of her. There are many more, and maybe someday I’ll be able to illustrate them all. (Another is shown on the book cover.) |
