All This Time,
Sky here! Ashley and I started writing again in July, and since then it's been a whirlwind of words. We are taking a break from One Step Closer because... well... we kind of fell in love with a new set of characters. Their names are Ty Mellaney and Poppy Spencer. Shortly after creating them, we decided we had to write their story ASAP. So we began their story on August 24th, and as of yesterday, one week later, we've written 29,000. (And today, we've hit 31k and are still going...)
How. Is. That. Possible.
It's especially impressive considering we're writing in third person, something we never ever do. But sure enough, the words just keep coming. We're aiming to get to 100,000 words if we have enough plot. Because that would be amazing.
Honestly, Ashley and I are so in love with Ty and Poppy. We did not expect to fall in love with them as much as we have.
Hi all! Ashley here! Sky and I have this thing where we just decide to create characters. They might not even have a story, but we create them and some of them fizzle out into nothingness, and some of them become something amazing.
When we started working with Ty and Poppy, I thought they'd be another fizzle. Instead, as I got to know them, I decided they weren't that but instead, a wonderful set of people that I wish were real so that I could be their friend.
Ty & Poppy have known each other since 3rd grade.
Their story is basically about their friendship with each other, their three-person group with a guy named Dan, and the way they're navigating certain obstacles in their lives, such as Ty going off to war and Poppy taking care of her sick aunt.
This story has taken a hold of my heartstrings and won't let me go. We've planned out our characters' entire lives together (well, almost, anyway) and we have plans to write a whole series. So far, it's going really well, if the first book is any indication.
When this book is done, we have plans of getting a proof copy so we can see it in book form, and we want to edit it and continue to write about these characters for a long time to come. We'll keep you posted on how it goes!
How's your writing going?
