2024 Writing Plans

There's that old adage about best laid plans going awry, and all I can say is, @ the universe please send me a POSITIVE (read closely, universe, I said POSITIVE) reason why this plan all falls apart. That being said, I broke the year down into the four quarters and tried to plan what I'll be working on each quarter, with aesthetics.

For the first three months of 2024, I plan to return to a reboot of a previous WIP that I wrote, queried, and rewrote and requeried between the years of 2019-2021. It's a dual POV YA contemporary fantasy/paranormal (think like, Lockwood & Co., Supernatural, Stranger Things kind of vibes) about two teens in a beach town with a rich mythology of hauntings who discover that there's more truth to the legends than they ever expected.

In the spring, I hope to return to my secret YA fantasy/dark academia WIP that twists up some well known tropes. I wrote a very messy draft of this in 2023, and I think some will be salvageable, but it's going to be a complicated rewrite for sure.

@ The universe, PLEASE give me a good reason to return to this faster, but either way, in the summer I want to tackle the sequel to OF WHISPERS AND WILDFLOWERS, which will finish off the duology. OWAW is hopefully headed out on sub to editors soon, so fingers crossed this draft will actually be needed and it won't just be me writing it because it makes me sad not to.

Provided I'm not on deadline, in the fall I want to return to NecromancerWIP, the original idea for which I had over 2 years ago and which has still not received an actually good full draft. There have been many shitty drafts, but my boys deserve something better than that, and I hope I can give it to them this year.

She was the master of words, playing with them at top of her fingers. But that day, he played with words once and she was left speechless. No words, no thoughts, nothing but emotions and feelings overwhelmed her. She was standing blankly staring into his eyes or his soul. Only she knew. And he... as usual waited for her answer patiently. The boy who never thought he could ever fall in love, fell in love. Not once, but twice and that too with the same person. . . . . . . . . . . . .

It’s been a long writing day. Sometimes you can knock out 1k quickly. Other days it takes many hours to get those hard fought words. Today was that kind of day, but I’m particularly proud that this piece came out of this long work day. . . . #secretwip #yahistorical #historicalfiction #gildedage #writerlife #amwritingya #yawriter #yawritingcommunity #getthosewords #writingpush #yaauthor #yawritersofinstagram #igauthor #igauthorlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CIrYvyoAPzs/?igshid=sstg200u7oc6

Crossed the 50k line with the #secretWIP today. It feels so good to get lost in this story. To dream about these two lonely people and use the power of my words and imagination to bring them together. On certain days, writing truly feels magical. 💗 💗 💗 #amwritingromance #amwritingya #yaromance #yacontemporary #yacontemporaryromance #writerlife #workinprogress #firstdraft #writinglife #saturdayscene #saturdaysnippet #saturdayvibes #writersofinstagram #writersofig #findmywritingcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CHBP5tpAvSB/?igshid=1mpknxuufcm2g

When I write, I love to try and include real places in my stories. My current #secretWIP is a musical journey of sorts, and it wouldn’t be complete without including a stop at this place: Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado. It’s been called one of the best places in the world to see a concert. Some people may recognize it as the setting for the live U2 video for “”Sunday Bloody Sunday”. The place has a cool and unusual history, and it’s been fun doing research to include some of these fun facts in this draft. . . . #amwriting #amwritingYA #amwritingyacontemporary #bookresearch #concertvenues #redrocksamphitheatre #colorado #writerlife #yawriter #yawritinglife #igauthor #findmywritingcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CG0UOXVAKSt/?igshid=1mw8mxuy60x9
