A writer without love...is no writer at all...

As promised I've been writing poetry to get inspired for QuestmyreII. Here is a Love Poem I wrote and put into movie form. It's great if you're missing someone, want to be near someone... It's called "Close the Distance". If you like it feel free to share! :)

Vervain Words and Perpetual Bliss

Have been feeling achingly empty lately...and just realized today that the only thing that takes away the pain is...writing.  I did not want to start working on Questmyre Book 2 "The Land of Mists & Mirrors" until I had a clear indication that Book 1 was a success...but the story is calling to me and as I write..each word is like vervain...transforming the hurt into blissful numbness....

Beta Readers are Loving It! Be still my heart... :)

Got exciting news this morning! My mum's been reading Questmyre and ate up 6 chapters last night. She's loving it and I'm always happy to hear someone has enjoyed my work...feel like a chef who delivered a delicious meal. Had a small round circle with some beta readers and was surprised at some of the symbolism they found in the book (some of which I wasn't aware I put in there). Only criticism was she said she would have liked a little more drama... ah well, so now I know what to put in Book 2 ;)

 

My round circle with 2 Questmyre Lovers...

I recently had a discussion with someone who has read Questmyre (and loved it) and someone who is currently reading it (and loving it).  I told them that the sub-worlds within Source One (although this is not explicitly said in the book) are there to help one get through various issues they may have or potentially teach them life lessons they need to grow.  I pointed out that Robin fell into the world that she did solely because she had tons of emotional baggage and scarring due to her destructive background and being a poor black girl from the inner city. 

I asked my audience two questions: 1)  If you were a doll in the House of Intrigues, in which part of the house would you have been located? 2)If you fell into a Source One sub-world, what type of world would it be, what challenges would you face and what would be the riddle to exit that world?

It was a very enlightening and maybe even life changing discussion...  I cannot wait for Questmyre to be read world-wide so that larger discussion forums can be held and more lives touched...

"Still in my bubble...everyday feeling more and more.. like myself...like an awkward stranger...floating...soaring through chaotic black matter...everyone and everything a blur...as I move; captive...in some mystical orbit...destination...unknown..." -Hajee

Hey all,
