Welcome to What's Up Wednesday, a weekly meme run by Erin L Funk and Jaime Morrow. Here's what I've been up to this past week!What I'm reading
This week, I read some great books by fellow CQ authors - Wind-Up Hearts by Stan Swanson and Missing Parts by Ethan Mawyer.
I also read Into the Still Blue, the conclusion to the Under the Never Sky trilogy, and I loved it! Now this is how you end a series! :D
Finally, I read The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson, a gripping thriller set in London about a killer imitating Jack the Ripper and a girl who can see ghosts. Creepy stuff!
What I'm writing
Forging ahead with the WIP, and I've also been working on my next one, which I plan to draft next month for Camp NaNoWriMo! I also finished edits on Walking Shadow (Darkworld #2) and sent them to my editor! *eek* One more round of edits left, then a proofread. Getting there! :D
What inspires me right now
My next WIP. Which I'm not supposed to be writing yet. But inspiration won out! I'm kind of in love with the two main characters already. :)
What else I've been up to
The usual - work, manuscript reading, watching Buffy, travelling up north to visit my boyfriend.
That's exciting that you turned in edits. I am sure that is a wonderful feeling. I love how you are always beginning projects you shouldn't be. I am the same way. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteYay for an inspiring WiP. And double yay for loving the main characters! :-) I'm with you on INTO THE STILL BLUE. I thought it was a fantastic conclusion. Love that trilogy. Have a great week, Emma!
ReplyDeleteI've been rewatching Buffy for a while now - it's one of my favourite programmes. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we're on the same team. I'm also glad your already in love with the characters in you shiny new project. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI love it when you feel so inspired and your hands itch so much that you can't wait to start a new story. Those are the best! Have fun with it!

Sounds like you're making a lot of writing progress, Emma--well done! :) I hope you continue the progress on all your WIPs this week.
ReplyDeleteHooray for being in love with main characters already. (even if you're not supposed to be writing them yet) *grin* (I am the Worst with that)
ReplyDeleteHope you have an amazing week!!
I really kind of think you have to follow motivation and inspiration where it leads. Yay for a new WiP! It sounds like you are making awesome progress on the writing front in general, so that's good.
ReplyDeleteINTO THE STILL BLUE was such a great book. And you're so right about finishing the series so well. I only wish every author would do the same. Have a great week!
Hi, Emma! Good luck with your wip. I love it when the idea is so exciting you can't help but start working on it immediately!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading and writing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines
I want to read Under The Never Sky!
ReplyDeleteYay, Buffy! :D
ReplyDeleteYou are always so busy with your writing. It's so impressive. Good luck with everything :D
I really like The Name of the Star and then after I read it I binge-watched Whitechapel and had nightmares for days!
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for Into the Still Blue from my library...
Yay on the edits. I loved INTO THE STILL BLUE and you are right it's the best way to end a series. Have a awesome week.
ReplyDeleteI thought INTO THE STILL BLUE was a great close to the series as well. I'm sad that it's done now though! Good luck with your editing and the new WIP!
ReplyDeleteI loved The Name of the Star. I really need to read the sequel. Good luck with your WIP. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteBuffy is the best. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI am always getting shiny new ideas when I'm in the middle of something else. They can be really inspiring though. And it's really great news if you have an awesome already! :)
Yeah, I heard about that crazy Camp NaNo! Geesh, I don't know if I have it in me, but I'm thinking about it....
