Round 2
Editing is boring. It’s good that it’s getting done but it can be so boring. I want to move on to book two. AJ says we have more planning to do. But we can’t do that if you are play Mass Effect! There is a disturbance in the force of my will power. I’m failing…

Fell off the Wagon
Well I fell of that wagon. Totally been slacking on my posts. Maybe this week will be better. And I won’t be a little tease. Nah, actually that’s probably a lie. Though Alex might get a bit upset. AJ finished the read through edit. We are now going through the show don’t tell words trying…
-
Jamie & John
This is only a second ship that AJ has wished for that won’t happen. We love Jaime and Claire in The Outlander, but this is just an epic relationship. And this song and cut are awesome together. This is an AU story that should exist in our humble opinions.

Whoops
AJs PDF has a whole day outta order. It’s a good thing it was easy to recognize. Dates make things so much easier to determine at a glance. Hopefully none of the chapters are outta order. So there are now pages added to an outline that aughta help with finding the chapter we have to…
-
Fire?
I mentioned AJ was done with the rewriting of book 1. We are reading through it and making notes on it. You’d think we had a deadline with the urgency in which we have been handling this read through. Though to be fair AJ says it’s an easy read. Not like say the Lord of…
-
Done!
Last night AJ wrote the last bits of The Call of the Dragon. On to full edits. With red ink too. The book is shorter than the original by almost 90K words. The biggest reason being we took one chuck out completely as it didn’t lend to the story at all. And because of the…
-
Malex
Not to be confused with Malec. I decided to do a small series of Ships AJ and I share. The tag we’ll be using is Sunday Ships on the blog. They will all most likely be music backed clips. Might offer some Fanfics at some point too.
-
4 More to Go
Only 4 more scenes to go. Or so. Only 4 left in the outlined bits. There might be a few more or a few less no one can know for sure. Until it’s done. OMG… it’s almost done. I’m not even going to fake the words for The Daily Spur or or FOWC I’ll just…
-
Foreshadowing
AJ’s got some foreshadowing going on right now. I love the response this invokes in me. Important information was just alluded to. Information I’ll learn in a scene or two but also so much more I won’t know. So love it. And what’s more is that it’s staring me in the face. And I won’t…
-
Almost There
We will be at the end of The Call of a the Dragon in a snap. The titular scene is coming up with in the next scene or two. I don’t know what I’m going to be able to share in the next phase of things, as AJ will need to do a read through…
-
ProLogue to Epilogue
So AJ shared the prologue with you. Yesterday she decided to get a better grip on the story and start off with Chapter 1 instead. But we didn’t want to lose those bits and bobs of information that help a reader understand that there is MORE at stake than just my life here. That it’s…
-
Getting Bad
AJ forgot to post for Sunday. We went looking and got side tracked. So sorry. AJ had a bad night so I’m not going to blow my horn for too long. (sad I know) Let’s just say anxiety kept her up despite knowing that there was nothing more she could do at the hour. Anxiety…
-
Truths and Lies
I promised to have some of Abbie Emmon’s Misconception today. And we have the single sentences for the overall arc of the first 4 books and the truth and lie of book 1. We don’t want to work on book 2 until we hit book two so we’ll make this a series as we go…
-
AWww…
I broke my streak! I didn’t post yesterday. I’m such a bad little worker bee. AJ’s busy writing, and working on releasing aj-hunter.com (it just says coming soon) AJ’s alpha reader made a perfect suggestion and we are running with it. It’s absolutely perfect for Alex’s character. Perfect! We are hunting a hacker and AJ…
-
Doubt
It’s a scary mother fucker sometimes — doubt is. (just like the plant from today’s photo prompt and used as our featured image). It has little teeth that grab hold and worry it’s way into the recesses of our mind causing undo anxiety and pain and a billion other things. That was AJ last night.…
-
Two months
We’ve been posting for two months straight! That’s a nice start to keep up appearances. It’s not a chore when I know what I’m going to be writing. Or rather how I get the topic. Right now you are getting a lot of editing an my comments. Next month you might get something else. AJ…
-
Misbelief
So I was going to fake a post today and drop in words like I usually do. And while I’m still going to do that I wanted to share with you what you will get this Saturday. AJ follows quite a few people on writing and today we saw Abbie Emmon’s process on creating your…
-
Boomwackers!
If you know what they are you know they are very cool. AJ’s girls used them in middle school music class, it’s pretty cool. Harvard has their won ‘band’!
-
Seeing Patterns
My long time readers will know what I mean when I say I see patterns. (And just to reiterate this is a magical ability and thus fictional — as I am the figment of AJ’s imagination given voice through words on the screen.) But I kinda want to explain what that means. I struggle everyday…
-
Drawing
I a bit annoyed at my creator atm. She’s drawing instead of writing. I mean really come on woman I’m the world here, not that dump pencil and iPad! While I can insist that AJ write me, she’s really doing the drawing because of me. For lots of reasons of which one is she wants…
-
Progress
We have one day left to write in The Call of the Dragon. And by day I mean there are two days of timeline stuff we are writing. This go around AJ is doing things a bit differently in order to keep the timeline straight. So we don’t miss days or such. AJ has used…
