Demon Soul proof copy




















Few days ago I received Demon Soulproof copy to review. I'm so proud to have my first novel's book between my hands. It took me a lot of times and efforts to write it, I basically have been working on it since last September when my friend first told me about NaNoWriMo. I started to gather my ideas about this story and to make some researches about demons, angels and magics. Then I started to write it on the first of November. No cheating ! It took me less than 20 days to reach my word count of 50000 words to win NaNoWriMo as I needed to finish soon to go on holiday, I wrote generally more than 2500 words a day. I finished to write the novel in December winning NaNoFiMo at the same time with more than 40000 more words. Since I have been working on other novels and on the editing of this one. Even though editing  can be really fastidious at time compare to the inertia of writing I still knew it was necessary and Demon Soulhas been reviewed five times (one by my fiancé) since the first draft accessible on line had been written. And I promise it is a lot better and detailed.
Now I will review this proof copy to make sure to have something as good as possible for my beloved readers and it will be available on amazon and eStore as soon as it possibly can.
Thank you for waiting with me and bearing with my perfectionism.

Demon and fairy part 4

Finally here is a consequent part of  "Demon and fairy" for you to read.
I think that writing this novel is a lot different than writing Demon Soul or Attic Mirror, I am just following Seti all the time giving few space to other characters and still developing them mostly according to their relation to Seti. I'm also using a lot of flashback, that give an other dimension to the story.  It is a really different vision of writing and I thing I have still a lot to explore in this matter. I'm getting more attached to Seti than to other characters ever before, probably because I'm spending so much time with him, I want to write all the time.
For the moment I'm writing a part that wasn't really planed but I will reach the planed part again really soon and I know that one is going to make me cry. Just thinking about it already did.

So far 21356 words, I'm right on track.

Demon and fairy part 3

"Demon and fairy" is progressing nicely. I have been writing everyday except one since th begining of the challenge and I'm almost alright with my word count for the moment. Well I'm 500 words behind but I'm expecting to solve that tonight. The day I didn't write was just after going to the aquarium, I took a 4 hours nap, I must have been really tired of my week.
Even if I have planed all the story before starting to write, this last part carried me to some unexpected event. Well as for Demon Soul I guess I just have to feel the blanks between the things I actually planed, but it's a bit painful to be annoying and torturing poor Seti. I feel a lot mote comfortable when writing happy things. I think I just have to hurry up my writing to reach a happier part of the story.

So far 9187 words :D

Japan : しながわ水族館

En français
Yesterday we went to visit しながわ水族館. From 調布 we had to take 4 trains to get there, 調布 to 明大前 to 渋谷 to 品川 to 大森 and then walk a bit. We almost get lost there but that was without counting on my logical sense of where things should be located. Hum that doesn't work that well all the time but in Japan it does so far. That wasn't the more efficient way to get there probably it terms of trains transfer but that was the cheapest according to google map.

The  aquarium was pretty big, 2 floors and a open pool for dolphin and sealion shows. And also an impressive tunnel under water from which you could see giant skate, turtles and all kind of fishes. We were lucky to arrive relatively early so it wasn't very crowed when we first reached the tunnel. We also managed to have a nice view of the dolphins' show and even sits for the sealions' show. It seems that each animal has its own trainer so they learn to do different things.
