Resurrecting the Blog

This poor blog. I've really let it go, haven't I? Well, now I'm back to give it life once more. To be honest, the writing had been stagnant for a while, so there was nothing to report on here. I am happy to say that that has changed. A new book is on the way, I am almost finished with the first draft. A lot of my progress was shared through Facebook and Twitter, mostly because this writing came with this year's NaNoWriMo.

I haven't decided yet what route I will take with publishing this time. I may not be going with self publishing with this book. Whatever I do, it's too early to think about it. Right now I'm focused on finishing the novel, which is the most important part. After that, I'll be spending a lot of time editing as well as making sure all my characters and my world are just right. I'll be happy to share some of my progress as I delve into building things further. This particular story is a fantasy for which I have created a couple new worlds as well as tons of new creatures. I'm already planning on posting descriptions and possible sketches of these things as I work on them.

I can't promise a regular schedule of posts right now as we are right in the middle of the holiday season. That will change once 2015 rolls around, however. Expect a nice post on all to come once the new year rolls around :)

In the meantime, I have a description of my new book, Desiderium, that I would like to share:

When it comes to your deepest desire, the question isn’t “How much do you want it,” but “What are you willing to do to get it?”

Friends made enemies. A soldier made a thief. A girl made a dragon. When you’re on a quest for that which you want the most, you don’t set out to watch the world burn, it just happens. The hardest thing to do - besides staying alive - is not losing yourself. For a witch, a hiker, and a thief, each will have to help the others to keep such from happening as they find their stories intertwined with that of a dark wizard.

Desiderium by S.M. Taylor is a fantasy/adventure that follows the lives of four characters as they discover that in the game of desire, there is much to gain, but everything to lose.
