Hello again, everybody. I just realized that I haven't
updated my blog since before Easter, so here's an attempt to bring you up to
speed on Book Three's progress. It's coming along much harder than Violet Eyes and Daughter of Aero. As I mentioned in my last post, all of my
characters have matured, and I'm finding that developing plot twists to reflect
the higher level of knowledge and ability is difficult. Don't worry, though.
It's still coming along, and I think I'm enjoying the challenge. God willing,
it will be the best book yet.
In the meantime, I'd like to share my character playlists.
These are the songs I listen to when I'm writing scenes from a specific
character's viewpoint. They help me get inside the character's head and write with
their emotions or ending in mind. It's my way of sharing spoilers without
actually sharing spoilers.

So, as
you can see, there's still a lot of self-searching songs on here, but I've tried
to insert a few stronger songs too. I hope you'll have fun
You Tubing these songs (if you don't already know what they are). Next time I'll share Rike's playlist.
