A to Z Challenge - R is for Robert

http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/

It's time for another A to Z Challenge! This year, I want to tell you about a story that is currently a WIP (work in progress). It's the story I'm writing in honor of my baby lovebird, Robert. It's a fantasy story, but it's really a story about emotional healing. So let's examine it by going through the alphabet!

Today's letter is r, which is, of course, for Robert!

Rather than rehashing his story over and over (I think most people probably feel bored and inundated by his story), I am going to smother you in Robert pictures.

Enjoy!

A to Z Challenge - Q is for Quest

It's time for another A to Z Challenge! This year, I want to tell you about a story that is currently a WIP (work in progress). It's the story I'm writing in honor of my baby lovebird, Robert. It's a fantasy story, but it's really a story about emotional healing. So let's examine it by going through the alphabet!

Q is for quest.

Robert is on a quest, in The Good Pirate, Robert. He's on a quest to save three members of his crew. They were taken away to Mulrad, the land of misery.

Robert knows, though, that this isn't just a normal search and rescue mission. His crew mates were among countless others who were trapped in the bad place. Robert's quest had to be a great one.

Indeed it was! He set out to do what no one had ever done before...go to Mulrad, and return to Locreya. Getting to Mulrad was easy. Getting out seemed impossible. No one had ever left before, so it must be impossible, right?

Thankfully, our little feathered hero is a brave one. He laughs at the word impossible. He knows that if you can get there, you can get back. Being the good soul that he is, he makes sure that he frees not just his crew members, but everyone who is trapped in Mulrad.

What a quest this is! It is a lengthy one, and incredibly involved. It's tricky to find a way out of Mulrad without being discovered and sucked into its misery. Robert is smart, cunning, and fearless, though. Thanks to those traits, he makes the impossible possible.

Now, I'd love to get into all of the good, juicy details, but why spoil the fun?! If you want to see HOW this happens, you'll just have to find out when the book comes out! ;)

In the meanwhile, come back tomorrow as we explore the letter r!

A to Z Challenge - P is for Passion

It's time for another A to Z Challenge! This year, I want to tell you about a story that is currently a WIP (work in progress). It's the story I'm writing in honor of my baby lovebird, Robert. It's a fantasy story, but it's really a story about emotional healing. So let's examine it by going through the alphabet!

Our letter of the day, p, stands for passion.

When I started writing Robert's story, it was a way I wanted to honor him and his memory. My passion and my connection with him was what spurred me to do this in the first place.

As the story evolved, so did my passion.

My passion for the message of Robert's story was ignited. The message was one that was as important for me to hear as it is for you. I needed to write this to heal myself, in order to help you heal.

My love and passion for Robert morphed into Robert's passion for helping both you and I heal.

The passion that is behind this story is immense. Without that passion, this story would have fizzled out. Instead, the passion helped it to flourish into a wonderful story with a wonderful message.

Passion is of the utmost importance in writing something like this. I am so grateful that Robert helped give me the passion I needed to create this piece.

Tomorrow we discuss the ever interesting q! Don't miss it!

A to Z Challenge - O is for Originality

It's time for another A to Z Challenge! This year, I want to tell you about a story that is currently a WIP (work in progress). It's the story I'm writing in honor of my baby lovebird, Robert. It's a fantasy story, but it's really a story about emotional healing. So let's examine it by going through the alphabet!

O is for originality

Robert's story is unlike anything you've ever read before. I know, every writer has said that about every book that has ever been written. In this case, though, I can prove it to be true.

First off, how many books have you read about or starring pirate Lovebirds? Yeah, that's what I thought. ;)

Seriously though, this story is highly entertaining while also bringing a wonderful message of peace, hope, and healing. It can be a children's book, while also being poignant enough to be an adult read.

This story contains characters, who not only differ in species, color, and everything else, but who have such depth and sincerity about them. They are as palpable as the emotions this book is founded upon.

It is technically a good versus evil story, but what the evil is, and how it is conquered is incredibly unique. It's anything but cliche.

The tale of The Good Pirate, Robert is a great, unique one that will take you on many adventures, and it will reside deeply in your heart.

Tune in tomorrow for the letter p!

N is for new.

New, as in this story is new.

New, as in writing fantasy is new to me.

New, as in this is different from any other fantasy story you've ever read before.

New, as in this is also different from any other emotional healing book you've ever read before.

New, as in the characters of a pirate bird, a girl named Emmalee, and a crew of all sorts of creatures are new to you, and the literary world.

New, as in this book is so new it hasn't even hatched yet. ;)

New. New is good.

Monday, we will pick up again, starting with the letter o. Same bat time, same bat place. See you then!
