Sprinkling bits of description in the story also helps with suspense, which keeps the reader guessing.

What helps me is to do a couple of things:
1. Bullet point what you want to include.
2. Know your ending. This helps you place foreshadowing throughout.
3. Think about scenes like a movie.
4. Write out your dialogue and then fill in with descriptions, dialogue tags, etc.

These characters are so real to me because their story is playing in my mind like a movie, so it's awesome to be able to read it on paper, and for others to see the movie in my head.(less)

Publication Dates

I've been lazy when it comes to getting my books ready for publication. Yes, I've been extremely busy, but I haven't set aside time for my writing. Boo on me for that.

However, I am pushing myself now to put out Cacophony: A Collection of Noise and Graceful Fall for 2016. Starlight Hunger has been pushed to 2017. Cacophony is 97% completed, so it will be out first.
