Rifts, demon, and the awakening

     It has been nearly two weeks since I published “Demon” the second book of the two book series “Rifts”.  I have to admit that writing them was both fun and torturous.  When the thoughts and words flowed it was a great and euphoric experience.  But that was not always the case.  Sometimes I had to muddle through the process of writing.  I can’t always wait for inspiration.
    “Demon” climaxes what “Rifts” started.  It begins to show the real evil and those who are meant to oppose it.
I wasn’t sure that I would be able to publish “Demon” before the end of March, but I made it.  As I had stated in a blog earlier in the year I plan to make this my year.  I had been approaching my writing more like a hobby.  But I can’t do that anymore.  Time is short.
    I’ve published two books this year.  They were Rifts and Demon.  Combined they were over 120,000 words.  I am on my next book tentatively titled “The Awakening”.  I am a little over 20,000 words on it.  I’m hoping to have it published early next month.  I have an outline for the book after that, but one thing at a time.
     “The Awakening” is primarily a young adult novel.  It is to be a science fiction thriller story with a bit of horror rolled into the mix.  I can’t really give any more detail about what I plan because sometimes I don’t stay with my outline.  Along the way to the end I often see another route to take that seems more interesting.
     If I stay with my plans for the book after that I will just say that involves a church burning that happened years ago, a haunting, and a mystery.
