My Writing Process - Blog Tour
A special thanks to Keith Darrell for inviting me to participate in this blog tour! Be sure to check out his blog at: http://www.keithbdarrell.com/
I would say the main thing that makes the series stand out is the path to power my main character takes. I'm a music teacher and a martial arts nerd. I combined those two things and created "The Tuning System." People who practice it learn to control their own natural vibrations and use it as a way of affecting their surroundings.
On to the questions!
What am I working on?
Currently I'm working on wrapping up a young adult science fiction series. Books 1-4 are out. Number 5 is in the works!
The series is called the Uxel Herum Saga and it's a coming of age story that takes place in a science fiction universe I created called Muzik Chronicles.

How does my work differ from others of its genre?

Why do I write what I do?
Because I love it.
Pretty simple. But it's true. The scifi that I write appeals to an extremely niche market of readers. So it's certainly not for the purpose of making money. Scifi sparks my imagination in a way that very few other genres do. It makes me think outside the box.

How does my writing process work?
It's sadly boring. My only real "rule" is that I have to write a minimum of 800 words every day. How or when that gets accomplished seems to fluctuate depending on how much other crap I have going on that day.
I used to outline my story before I started writing but I found that everything went a lot smoother once I threw that out the window. I jot down a few general concepts and then just go for it. Too rigid of a structure makes it difficult for characters to do their thing.
