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.

New Challenge JulNoWriMo

En français

On the first on July I decide to participate to a new writing challenge. My previous success for NaNoWriMo and other competition really motivated me to write more. Especially that today I successfully order the free proof copy of Demon Soul that NaNoWriMo allowed me to get as a winner.
The project I will be working on is "Demon and fairy" I already started few months ago but didn't go too far, by lack of time, concentration or wish, I don't know. But know I think it's time to give Seti a proper story. So here is the first part of the story that will count for Julnowrimo.

So far 4102 words :D

Japan : 鼓遊

En français
Yesterday we went to a drum charity concert 鼓遊.

One of my friend's host family had booked the tickets for us. The concert started at 4pm and lasted almost three hours. The rhythm was absolutely amazing. Most of the players had their solo part and played several instruments. Some parts were also funny especially at the beginning when two of the players pretended that their cymbals were stick together to get the attention of a third one. 

Although most of the payers were students and kids, there also was a special guess who was a professional player giving a solo performance before the big final.

Japan : FujiQ High Land

En français
Last week-end we went to FujiQ High Land. That's an attraction park with several roller coaster holding different world records.
We first started slowly with the mad clock. It's not very fast but when I was upside down for the third time only hold by the harness on my shoulder I learned that I couldn't control anything and finally decided to just enjoy the feeling. In the end I find it really relaxing, not to have to do anything, just to sit there and to let the machine take you where ever it wanted.
The second one was the ええじゃないか the second え is normally written upside down and that's pretty obvious why when you know that this particular roller coaster has the record of time of putting you upside down. You start going backward don't ask me how you are because I was upside down and upside down so much (28 changes) that I really don't have a clue.
We then went to the haunted house. Not that scary for my taste, probably because we were a group of six, I'm not too sure. But one of my friend's yelling was the thing that was making me jump when I wouldn't have in the first place for sure.
We then went to a tower, it takes you up kind of slowly and then down pretty fast and up and down like oscillating. I think the thing I'll remember was my friend repeating I don't want to, I don't want to and me trying to tell him reassuringly to look at the beautiful landscape.
And then the Fujiyama. That's high, that's really really high, I was just telling repetitively "it's going up, it's going up" then it was still going up, obviously world record of height. And then it has to go down, obviously.
The third roller coaster with a world record was probably the one that was the most scary for be before I get in. It hold the record of speed 172km/h so it accelerate from 0km/h to 172km/h in 28 second. That's crazy. It's name ドドンパ and I loved it. Once you are in it is the most peaceful of all.
Then we went to something that turns and swing at the same time, I didn't realized that it was actually turning while I was in and the last one was turning around a tower, pretty scary from the ground but while you're in it was just not as fast as expected. It was just pretty cold up there.
