They don't tend to be my favorites.L. A.

My Venus Ascendant stuff is both - shared universe but same characters tie the stories together even if the upcoming second book only features the first characters fleetingly. I don't have a series blurb. >_<Pippa Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146591827060731958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-59866036915504933202016-01-25T09:10:37.802-07:002016-01-25T09:10:37.802-07:00>It's a little hard to believe a year has a...>It's a little hard to believe a year has already flown by.<br />Woot, congrats! Has it really been a year?!<br /><br />>does this mean I'm no longer a debut author by definition?<br />Yeah, I stopped calling myself a debut author once my second published title released.<br /><br />>The Outer Planets is three months behind schedule.<br />Ouch! I feel your pain. Keir's Fall went out a month late, and my launch plans, eARC release for reviews, NetGalley etc was all screwed up. Now I'm playing catchup. :-\<br /><br />Yeah, the creative process is a very individual thing, and while I think the editing process might be more traumatic for a pantser, I do think we learn more that way. Learning the hard way. I have to say I've read a couple of things where I know they were plotted to the nth degree, and while the writing was flawless the actual stories fell flat for me. Nothing wrong with them, just no spark in them for me.Pippa Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146591827060731958noreply@blogger.com
