Heaths and Heathers

I'm entrenched into creating a whole new world for two characters living in Oxford. They are in Sisters of the Moon. I've always had the idea for a pair of florists called Heaths and Heathers who are undercover investigators. Their shop looks like heaven, but since it's almost Christmas, the shop windows have to reflect, warmth, wreaths and lush greenery. Here's a picture that I drew of what I thought it would look like.

This is what I pictured it would look like inside.

How cool does that look? I actually saw a florist in town that looked very much like what I thought it would. :)

Heaths and Heaths are Silver Heaths and Rain Meadow Heathers. Their shop is in Oxford. It is on the High Street between a fudge shop and a pasty shop.

Silver and Rain have a very cool look. They love 70s fashion and they use it to stand out on the busy High Street.

This is exactly how I imagined they would look like. :)

They provide each guest with tea in fine bone china.

It looks similar to this.

Underneath it all, as investigators, their lives are dangerous. I'm working on that part and will share more with you when I do. I hope you've enjoyed this and I'll blog again soo. xoxo

Writing Sisters Of The Moon

Sometimes it's hard to write, and other times the words flow freely. Sisters Of The Moon has taken me a longer period of time to write. I'm still working on it and one day I will finish it.

As a writer, the pressure to complete a book can be immense. These are the questions I get asked, It's been over a year, why haven't you finished it ? Do you have writer's block? Me: Nope. Do you ever get writer's block? Why do you write? Are you sure it's your passion? The questions keeping coming. You know what? I just give them a big F U and move on. It's not always easy.

As long as I keep moving forward, I know that I'll eventually finish it and start the next one. There is a lot of advise for how to keep writing a series of books, even the infamous sequel. It's true. It is harder to write a sequel, but you know what? Who cares about what people think. Just keep writing a word after another word and you'll get there. I know I'll get there.

I have given myself a time period and started tracking my word count. This helps me keep on top of my overall goal. Halloween is the day I've chosen to finish it. It's a good stretch of time and I know I can get there.

I haven't blogged recently. I've been working on other exciting things that I will blog about another time. I hope you've enjoyed this one. xoxo
