Introducing Lady Splendid

Lady Splendid was actually the original inspiration for me to write this story.  I've been a big fan of Ms. Marvel and I think most people will see some similarities in ways of appearance and powers to a slight degree, but not all in personality.  Splendid is about as far from a military minded person as you can get!  I just really liked the idea of a totally stuck up and self-centered hero and try to bring out some reason for readers to like her.  I hope that she comes off as one of the more interesting characters in the story.

The Waiting is the Hardest Part

It's all in the hands of others right now and while I am trying to be patient I am actually chomping at the bit to see what they say.  I've gotten a little bit of feedback and through my proofing of it I've found a bunch of type-o's, so that's kept me busy.  How the frak can Word know when a semi-colon should be used but doesn't tell me when I forget to close quotation marks?
Besides reading it through and watching 2 seasons of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, I have also done all the prep work to getting the book online and printed.  I uploaded the draft version and it looks like about 140 printed pages...not great but it tells the story I wanted to tell.  I hate when things are longer than they need to be, but I also don't want people to feel like they didn't gent enough for what they paid for.  I have gone back through books that I purchased and realized I've bought books that were shorter and didn't realize it, so that's a pretty good sign.
So that's the update right now...just waiting.

Fin!!!

I finished the last chapter a couple hours ago and have sent it out to some friends to read it for the first time.  I'm exited, I'm nervous and I'm scared.  It's like a first date with a really hot chick, or at least how I imagine that would feel.

In the End it DOES Really Matter!

Hello all, as I write this I am in the midst of composing the final chapter and sending it off to my Editors Three.  I was really concerned about the final fight scene, but after writing it I'm really pretty happy with it.  Yet again, I'm biased and I haven't read it back all the way, but I really like the ideas that I used and it turned out to be much more meaty than I thought it was going to.
I've had the idea for the final chapter and how to end the story for a few weeks, but now that I am here I am having trouble letting it go.  I'm wondering if I need one more scene, one more chapter, one more whatever.  I think it's just me having trouble almost being finished with this labor of love.  It's been a lot of my thoughts and free time during the past couple months, so it's feeling like the end of a season of a show I really like.  I usually end up watching the season finale of shows several times because I have a hard time letting go.  I plan on continuing here during the editing process, but I doubt my team will take that long to give me their corrections and feedback.  They're not going to sit on it for long, they seem to be almost as excited as I am about it.
I want to thank all of you for reading this blog and I will have a finished product for you soon.  I still have to write a book description for the website and the back cover and that is very intimidating.  I think how many books I have read just because I liked the description and I start to get all nervous.  Brief descriptions aren't really my thing, but I think I have some ideas that will draw people in...at least I hope so.
