Loving
Not having the plague. :P I've had two killer viruses in three weeks, which completely knocked me out. It's nice to be able to write without being all fuzzy-headed from flu...
Also, finishing my draft! Technically, it was a rewrite (I'm reworking a duology as a trilogy, so I split the second book in two and turned the first half into a complete draft), but it's nice to have half the battle done. ^_^ Next up: Book 3!
Reading
End of Days by Susan Ee, the third book in the Penryn & the End of Days series (I reviewed Angelfall way back in 2012!). Such an addictive and amazing post-apocalyptic series!
I also read An Ember in the Ashes, which was... amazing. There's been a lot of hype around this book, but it's definitely well-deserved!

Watching
I finished Daredevil, which I loved! Every series seems to be ending at the moment - Arrow, The Flash, Agents of SHIELD... But I've started watching Gotham, so that's keeping me entertained.
Listening to
Angry heavy metal, because I'm writing about the end of the world. ;)
Thinking about
My WIP. Now I'm onto the final book of the trilogy after finishing rewriting the second (evil cliffhanger alert *muahahaha*), so I've been re-outlining and made a start on the draft.
Also, my next fantasy series. I've been working on the worldbuilding and magic system since February/March, so this one's slow-going. But I'm hoping to start writing the first book this summer!

Anticipating
YALC! I know it isn't until July, but I already have my tickets booked, and I can't wait to go back to London and meet some of my favourite authors! :D
Wishing
I could concentrate on writing while preparing to send out review copies of my next book (Nemesis, Alliance Book 2)! *flails*
Making me happy
Well, Darkness Watching was on sale last week, combined with a BookBub ad, and managed to hit the top #1 in two categories! O_O Wow. I never expected a book that's been out (and, well, not selling) since 2013 to suddenly get a new surge of life, so I'm pretty thrilled with the results! YAY READERS! ^_^
Big congrats on finishing your duology rewrite, Emma. I bet that's a huge relief. Hope you feel better soon, and have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteGlad to hear you're feeling better! Sounds like you've been under the weather a lot lately! Congrats on finishing your draft/reworking your duology and for the success with DARKNESS WATCHING! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteHappy to hear AN EMBER IN THE ASHES was good. I've heard a lot of great things about it, but with all the books coming out, it's tough getting to all of them. Will bump this one up my TBR list now. :-) Congrats on all the writing and finishing you've been doing. You're getting so much done! Have a great week, Emma!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! EMBER is so incredible, though. Thanks! :)
DeleteI still need to watch Daredevil. I wasn't crazy about the movie, but I've heard good things about the show.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better!
It's so good! I've never seen the movie, but I watched the first season in a week on Netflix.
DeleteCongrats on Darkness Watching being #1, that is awesome!! (I got it while it was on sale and can't wait to read it!) I'm going to YALC, too, and the wait is killing me but it's going to be SO worth it!! :D
ReplyDeleteYay, thank you! :D
DeleteI went last year and it was incredible! I'm so excited for this year's!
