http://jadyncase.com Mon, 01 Sep 2008 00:38:41 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I thought of an idea for a plot last night and this morning realized it needs to be a YA in order to make it less predictable.  I've never written a YA before and like when I started writing chick lit, haven't read many lately.  I guess I need to ... http://jadyncase.com/2008/08/31/ya-maybe/ I just finished this amazing book last week. It started right where California Demons ended, and not only did I have all my questions answered, I got another surprise and teary ending.  Not teary as in so sad you shouldn't read it.  Oh no!  Teary as in it's so damn good ... http://jadyncase.com/2008/08/28/demons-are-forever-by-julie-kenner/ Ok, so I know there as a snafu with sending out the Stiletto entries to some of the judges, so the deadline is pushed back or something, but the original deadline for first round judging was August 26.  This coming Monday.  Not sure what the new date is, but I ... http://jadyncase.com/2008/08/19/patiently-waiting/ So, I'm actually having a ton of fun adding the ghost to my WIP, writing new scenes and lightly revising the ones I already have.  Part of that may be because pre-ghost I had just finished chapter 10 (out of 24) and was on page 103 or something (out of ... http://jadyncase.com/2008/08/15/lots-of-writing/ I managed to get through another two chapter of revisions as well as write one new scene, in my WIP.  I'm feeling really good about it.  After this book is done, I'd love to make a decision on what to do with my last one, Vows, Voices & Voodoo (as ... http://jadyncase.com/2008/08/11/more-revisions/ Well, it's not actually new.  It's just an added element that makes it feel new. :D Now, Giada's best friend, Randall, is not only dead, but he's a ghost.  She can see, hear and communicate with him--which won't be easy once she's in CA on the reality show.  LOL, love making ... http://jadyncase.com/2008/08/09/new-wip/ At first, I thought about adding a paranormal element to my WIP in order to use this particular tag line: Murder, Magick & Mary Janes.  It was the one I concocted last year while working on my paranormal chick lit mystery.  I could change the word "magick", but while nothing ... http://jadyncase.com/2008/08/07/adding-a-ghost/ I just finished and shipped off the last Stiletto entry I was set to judge.  I had a blast doing it and will definitely volunteer again next year...unless I'm too busy with edits or something. ;) I judged for two of the categories, 8 entires.  A few of them were so ... http://jadyncase.com/2008/08/05/last-entry/ I think life is trying to tell me something. I spent most of thirty-something years watching, reading and loving the supernatural, serial killers (in fiction), horror movies and everything dark and morbid. I never liked gore, but the psychological side of crime and fear. Then I discover my natural voice is ... http://jadyncase.com/2008/08/04/first-post/
