That old school feeling

Earlier this month, I was informed of a contest for a short story. I brought it into work to get some of the children I work with in on it, but I decided to try as well. And thus, November was a month of trial and error for me as I started a brand new story. And boy, what a month.

What started out as one thing quickly changed to branching paths in the story, and from that, several different endings. Suddenly, I had many different tabs open and each one had a different path. But what really got me back to form was when one of my students asked to read it and another told me about the one she was working on.

So, not wanting to look like a novice for these kids, I sat down and picked one idea and went from there, starting over entirely from scratch. And I am happy to say that I have finished penning my newest work. Of course, now comes the editing and revisions and all that fun stuff, but “Aria of a Revolution” is otherwise written.

​I feel pride for everything I write, but this one takes a special place in my heart. It’s a different form from anything else I’ve done, and I’m looking forward to sharing it with everyone, eventually. Until then, please look forward to it.

Hi Kayne! I don’t know if I’m doing this thing correctly....
I just finished your second book, Chrysalis, today!
I will explain why it took me so long to read!
I had another book “on the go” and wanted to finish that one first. Makes sense, right? It took me a while to finish reading it, for whatever reason, I’m not sure. Maybe my heart wasn’t into it...?
Anyways, you already know that Fantasy/Science Fiction is usually not “my thing”, but of course I wanted to read your books because... well because YOU wrote them! You are pursuing your dream! Maybe I can live vicariously through you! Lol! I thought at one time that I would love to be children’s book author...but I digress, I finished your newest book, Chrysalis. I’m not much into this genre, so I have nothing to compare it to! I usually read “thrillers” or “murder mysteries”, you know, “whodunnits”. Because I want to be a back seat Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot. I feel so clever when I can somewhat “solve” the clues! Then a twist occurs that I had no idea was about to happen! (I’d like to think no one else expected it too, so I don’t feel like such a chump). Then it changes my whole way of thinking....! I guess I just like to be challenged that way!
So, back to your novel (was I stalling or just going off on a tangent.... lol). I liked the fact that I was fresh into this world of Demons and Clans, that I had no idea what to expect! I couldn’t guess ahead of time what could happen! It’s thanks to you, Kayne, for opening me up to new experiences! I also love the fact that the “heroes” don’t always win and a “happy ending” is not always the case! There is some turmoil and chaos left to clean up. And of course, room for another book to pick up from, I’m sure! Lol! So all in all, I liked your book! Please keep writing so I can keep reading...
Love Bonnie
