Hello everybody and welcome for a new Sunday of writing with Weekend Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday!
I decided to change things a little bit so for the next few months, I'm going to present you my new WIP. It's called "The House at the Crossing" and it's a prequel to Demon Soul and the demon series. It's a bit of a mix of Fantasy and Science-fiction.
It follows one of the books more obscure character as she first come into the House. It's suppose to explain why there are so many people is the house and sort of where they come from and at the same time be a first time adventure for the main character as she needs to adapt to her new role and the new version of who she is.
Since it's a WIP, and I still haven't finished the first draft, it's still really row. Hopefully, we'll see some improvement as it goes.
Let's start right at the beginning!
I have no idea why I was once again on the door step of
an unfamiliar house. Of course, I had heard about this house; of
course, I had come here on my own, well, almost on my own. My son was
asleep in the portable crib I had with me, that and a suitcase with
my clothes, his clothes, toys, and some of my books, nothing much more than
that.
It
had happened before, in my 20th. When I started college, I
was sharing a room and my adorable roommate ended up emptying my bank
account and taking off with everything I had. So I had to go back to
live with my father for a while. An unfamiliar house it was, I
hadn't seen him for eight years before that, since the divorce. My
mother, well, she had been the one taking everything, including me.
All she left him was the dog and a very bad reputation, which ended up to be all lies.

Good intro to backstory. I want to know more about her.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm always a bit worried about the amount and place for the backstory.
DeleteOoh, how fascinating to start learning some of the backstory and what happened 'before'! Good idea for the WIP, enjoyed the snippet.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm trying to nail who she is at the very beginning because things are going to go a bit crazy about that.
DeleteWelcome back, Linda. I'm glad to see you starting a new WIP. You've been on Demon soul for quite a while.
ReplyDeleteYes, the thing is. I had it reedited and I still don't have the courage to put it out. I have a lot of other novels drafts to attend to but I stay blocked on stuff.
DeleteYou pulled me right on. I'm already rooting for her.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. I echo Ed's sentiments. Good to see you writing s new WIP. ;-)
Thanks. I'm glad you like it.
