The Fallen

I'm writing a new book!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I haven't been busy, I just either forgot about this blog a moment, or I was doing something else.

I know I've mentioned the Fallen a bit, but it has become my main focus now. The Fallen is a story about a girl named Sophie who discovers that she is something called a Fallen. In this book a Fallen is a half-human, half-angel who possess great power. A demon named Elliot however is after her, his mission being to kill her.

The whole plot hasn't been completely developed but I'll let you know more.

Writers Club

So, I went to the Writers Club today at my local library.
I have to say, it was really fun.
At first, I sat there, trying not to act stupid, but I eventually settled down a bit.
I was going to read Inner Secrets, but due to not enough time, I read the first page of The Fallen instead.
All the compliments I got, really did boost my ego.

They told me they thought my main character, Sophie, seemed like a thoughtful character. I opened up my first page with the statement: I don't really remember my mother: and they told me it was a great hook. By the end, I was practically beaming. The whole event honestly made my day.

That's about all in that department, except my teacher, did look at my Synopsis, and he said it was really good. I just need to work a bit more on it, and sort out the glitches. If you guys have any advice, please do not hesitate to tell me. Or, if you want to ask something, go ahead and ask. I adore every comment I get, and I'm up to two followers! (Not including myself, that was purely an accident)

Thanks, and I'll post really soon!

I Finished My Synopsis!

Yes! The day has finally arrived! I finished the Synopsis.
*Applaud, Applaud*

Actually this is a fairly long story. I started it over, I kid you not, three times. My first seemed too long, and detailed, so I deleted it. The second droned on, and on, so it was boring. Finally, I went and asked my Lang. Arts. Teacher, and he told me a bit of advice, and for once, it made sense! One day, I will probably be better at Synopsis, without any help.

So, yes, it is complete. And I'm going to post it here, so you guys can see it :)

So, here we go:

Synopsis: Inner Secrets

Lucy has always known she was different. It was just how different she was that came as a surprise. When she touches the doorknob of the old house down the street and gets a moonmark on her wrist, it sets off a chain of events that Lucy herself, never thought possible. Suddenly she is thrust into a new world called The Inner, and finds out that all she has ever known is a lie. She learns she is part of a prophecy to destroy the Evil King that rules the Inner with darkness. All she has to do is find the other Essences, the Sun, the Star, and the Earth. However the task itself is not easy. With blood-thirsty monsters called Controllers at every twist and turn, danger is always a threat. Rumors of the Sun being in the Dark Relic, the place where the king lives, sends Lucy, her protectors, and her sister, on their first journey. With Secrets looming over her every step of the way, will Lucy be able to save the Sun, or will she break down under the pressure.


Well, that's it and hopefully it will impress the agents. Thanks for reading, and I'll post real soon!




Thanks! Bye!

Self-Publishing

Well, today while at my sisters soccer game, I met up with children's author.
He has recently published a book called Bob's Boogers
Being me, I had a ton of questions to ask him.
He himself, did Self-Publishing which to be honest, I have never thought of.

It never really occurred to me that I should try it, but now, I think I might.
There isn't much news other than the fact that I'm still working on my Synopsis.
I'm not very good at writing them.
I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year!

One of my biggest resolutions this year was to keep writing, and get Inner Secrets published!


That's all for now, but I'll post if there's a new update!
Bye!!

New Ideas

So, I haven't posted in a while, and so I'm just going to say
Merry Christmas!! I hope you all had good holidays. So, last night I was laying around when an idea for a new story came into my head. I quickly wrote it down, and even wrote down a random scene. I could hardly sleep last night because I kept thinking. Ooh! Here's an idea.

Today, I decided to juggle it around a bit. I already have the first three pages. I'm sitting at my kitchen table drinking hot chocolate (Yum!) And writing. I'm not going to give to much detail about it, mostly because I'm not sure if it will work. But I can say its just a one book thing, no sequels, and its not a series. It's also a romance  adventure, and a little fantasy type.

Well, bye! And if I don't post again before new years! Happy new years!




Bye!

WOOHOO!

Hey, It's Miranda!

I got a letter from an agent today, that wasn't a rejection. They requested I send in a detailed Synopsis, and the first 50 pages of the manuscript.

I don't think I've truthfully ever been happier in my life. Of course it isn't a definite yes, and I'm not expecting one, however it is definitely a step up from a rejection. I'm in school right now, but if I wasn't. I think I would be dancing around, and screaming. (Professionally of course :))

Woohoo! I'm so happy. I'll keep posting!


Bye!

More Query letters!

Hello, its Miranda! :)

It's after Thanksgiving break and I am back at school. Yay.

It's not to bad, I was mostly reading and watching T.V during break anyway, so at least now I actually have something to do. Even of that something is homework. I have sent my query letter out to many agents now, and I'm waiting for reply.

I must admit though, I'm very anxious. Every time I get an email, I wonder if it is a response, but it's usually an ad. The first time that happened, I was sort of annoyed, but I'm excited and happy too!

For now, I'm just editing the book and trying to improve it anyway I can. That's about all, but I'll update if anything happens!

Bye,



~Miranda~
