Chapter Breakdown: LC’s “Ambidexterity”

June 30, 2021June 28, 2021 ~ E-Kathryn ~ Leave a comment

Laevatein's Choice, chapter 8 ended up being by favorite. It's full of references, snarky quips, and the first fight scene of the book. And it solidly introduced Geoffrey, who was a blast to rework and get to know.

Excerpt from my favorite scene in Laevatein’s Choice

LC comes out in 8 days! And in my flurry of panic to assure myself the book is perfect after I've broken this book in less than 9 months whereas the last one took 2 years, I'm skimming through it AFRICKINGAIN and I stumbled across this scene again. I absolutely love it! It captures Mark's … Continue reading Excerpt from my favorite scene in Laevatein’s Choice

Reworking Your Work 5 Self-Editing Tips

April 16, 2019April 16, 2019 ~ E-Kathryn ~ 1 Comment

Now that I've rewritten two full books--no, I'm not about to say I'm an expert--I've just begun to recognize the process of taking your 15-year-old self's 2am sleep-drunk ramblings and turning them into a boook (with emphasis on the "ooo"f). I've also been working through outlining my series to fit in all the consistency checks … Continue reading Reworking Your Work 5 Self-Editing Tips

Enjoy! “What do you say to playing around with these?” Geoffrey offered candidly. Mark’s heart pattered excitedly. “You said … Continue reading Surprise! Excerpt from my new book!

Book2: The Rewrite Process

December 17, 2018December 17, 2018 ~ E-Kathryn ~ Leave a comment

About three years ago I got fed up looking at Fire's Hope and decided to finally buckle down and rewrite it. So I started with an outline. I went through and took scenes I thought were absolutely necessary and did bullet points on all the notes I wanted to hit. The rewrite took a good … Continue reading Book2: The Rewrite Process

Something about this time of year really inspires my sense of hiraeth. (The homesickness for a home that no longer or has never existed) I sink back into my space playlist, trying to runaway. It’s that travel, the cold of space, the darkness of endless nights, waiting to touch down on a better world. I’m not a fan of winter, I think traveling in space would make me feel the same way January-March does. Waiting. 💫✨🌙🪐
2022 was a quieter year for art. Looking back has helped me process all I went through this year, despite a major life shakeup, moving back to virginia, and fighting for some stability, I still churned out some deeply feeling artwork, and I published a book! Not every year has to be revolutionary, some can just be a transition. 2022 was my deep breath.
The red pen editing round of book 4: 🔥NOVA’S LOVE🔥 is complete!
