It’s been a while, but in celebration of the completion of my first trilogy, I’m reopening my blog. 🙂
The search for an agent is definitely stressful. Thing is, even if I never get a word published, I’ll still be writing. That should mean it doesn’t matter so much if I find an agent or not, right?
That’s what my logical mind says.
Meanwhile my emotional mind is doing something more like, “WAAAAAHHHH AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!”
The trilogy follows a girl and her friends on their quest to restore the magic that exploded and left them four years ago. It’s a modern world, which was actually a bit of a challenge since the premise is fantasy. I automatically picture girls with their long skirts blowing in the wind and boys in tunics, but my characters generally wear jeans and t-shirts. It’s been fun, too, to think about what the world would be like if pretty much everything was done by magic, and then the magic went away. Violently. I’ve enjoyed exploring that world – the world of Atheria.
Whether the first trilogy gets published or not, I already have plot outlines for two more series in the same world, with plans for one after that. The Magic Whisperer, The Magic Singer, The Magic Writer, and The Magic War. I even have a vague idea for another one. Honestly, writing is too much fun to quit just because you can’t find a publisher. Besides, my family and friends enjoy them even if no one else gets a chance. 🙂
