This just shows how far I am into writing my book called A Sacrifice For Salem. some times I'll write for days at a time and some times I'll go months without writing so expect to see some inactivity.

New Blog

So this blog isn’t my primary blog and as you may be aware, Tumblr REALLY restricts what a secondary blog can do. Therefore, I’ve decided to set up a new account with my primary blog being ASFS oriented. That way, it’s easier for me to use Tumblr while being able to reply to comments and such. The blog is here and if you’re interested, my second character profile has been uploaded there so that should give you some insentive to check it out.

Okay, I’ve finally got Callum conscious, things should be easier from now on

[bookprogress-blog]

I was going to put some music on to write with...the fact that I’ve ended up on a My Hero Academia video just goes to show how easily distracted I am...

You know, the hardest part about writing this chapter is having to describe nothingness. It’s harder than you’d think.

[bookprogress-blog]

Work on chapter 12 has started. Wonder how long this one will take me to finish...

Mary

Bio: Born in 1850, Mary’s parents were killed in a workhouse “accident” when she was eight. Since then, her foster-father, Frederick took care of her and raised her into the person she is. Mary’s story begins when she is sent to the present in order to fight in the coming conflict. Whether she’ll ever return to the time where she grew up, we’ll never know. Age: 17 Siblings: None Height: 5ft 5in (164cm) Race: Caucasian Eye Color: Green Hair Color: Brown Sexual Orientation: Straight Glasses or contact lenses? none Hobbies: Reading, Favourite Sayings: “There is a wisdom of the head, and... there is a wisdom of the heart” - Charles Dickens Speech patterns: Very 19th Century at first, but as she gets used to the present, her speech becomes more modern. She even swears near the end. Greatest flaw: Her tendency to let fear control her. If not that, then her lack of self-esteem. Best quality: Her wisdom. She’s really wise for someone of her age. Educational Background: A little bit of teaching from her foster-father. Remember, she’s from the 19th century so education for her would have been scarce. How does he/she dress? 19th century dresses, but when she comes to the present she wears more modern clothes. Strengths: Wise, strong-willed, very sympathetic Weaknesses: Let’s emotions control her, a little homophobic, low self-esteem, Introvert or Extrovert? Introvert How does the character deal with anger? She doesn’t know her own strength as a witch, so when she gets angry, she could potentially hurt someone with her power. With sadness? She’ll cry. A lot. With conflict? She’ll try to make whoever’s fighting be friends or at least come to an agreement. With change? She’ll easily adapt to the situation, even if she doesn’t agree with the change. With loss? She’ll cry. A lot Does the character believe in God? Yes, but she’s not a devout Christian or anything. She mostly uses religion as a reassurance than an actual belief.

So at work yesterday I had the great idea of creating character profiles for all my main characters in my story. It should be some fun to make, so expect them soon

And I'm finished with the prologue rewrite! If anyone is interested in reading it, message me.

[bookprogress-blog]

Onto the closing words of my prologue rewrite and it’s most definitely an improvement. Can’t wait to get back to where I left off!

[bookprogress-blog]

Finished my mock exam resits, time to get back to writing. Yay

[bookprogress-blog]

Sorry for not updating for a few days. Mock exam resits are this Thursday and Friday (I went on holiday so I missed them), so I’ve not written much these past few days due to revision, I’ll be back on it next Monday. Hopefully.

[bookprogress-blog]

God, I love the relationship between Fred and Mary. It's actually my favourite part of Mary's character

[bookprogress-blog]

It’s getting kinda quiet here, I need to find some music to listen to.

[bookprogress-blog]

Nearly finished adding description to this block of dialogue. God, I hope I finish this prologue soon, otherwise, I’m going to be stuck in this writer’s block forever

[bookprogress-blog]

I’m making some headway with the prologue rewrite now, I’m onto a lengthy bit of dialogue now, just need to jazz it up a little to make it flow better.

[bookprogress-blog]

Yay...writer’s block...this is fun.
