New Project and New Goals

Greetings!

Before a Million Universes took nearly two years to complete from start to finish.

I’ve set a new goal for myself.

I would like to push myself to finish my next novel by September 2016. This is definitely ambitious, given the crazy state of my life right now, but goal-setting is what makes the world turn round, and I think I could be ready for this.

Thankfully, toward the end of writing Before a Million Universes, I was sparked by a new idea that I fell just as deeply in love with. I’ve held it off for as long as possible, but now that I’m free to begin thinking about something new, I’m really stoked to tear into it and begin creating a new world.

My next project is set in Friday Harbor, Washington, and focuses on a girl named Aurora (Rory) who is dealing with a clinically depressed, alcoholic mother and the death of her twin, Wesley. One day, Rory almost drowns and is saved by a runaway beauty named Genevieve (Vee). Rory and Vee become close friends very quickly and Vee teaches Rory both how to trust again and how to move on after tragedy.

There’s only one problem. Vee is a siren, and she’s been cursed by the Goddess Demeter to provide a ritualistic sacrifice once a year upon coming of age.

Aaaaand, that’s all I’m willing to give away at this point. I’m hoping to provide more information in the future, but for now, this project is only in the beginning stages.

My current word goal is 1,000 words a day, not including weekends. I’m interested to see if I’ll be able to keep it up.

Stay tuned for new updates each week!

Until next time,

Tegan
