Teaser Tuesday: Eternal Endings

IT'S FINALLY TEASER TUESDAY

I had the worst case of writer's block I've ever experienced. I've only been writing for about two years, but I never stopped writing for more than a few days. I had writer's block for two months. I don't know what happened during August and September, but I just couldn't write. I kept opening my Word document hoping that day would be different, but the words just weren't coming to me. I think the most I was able to write was a few paragraphs here and there. That block has finally been torn down, and I've been able to write lately. I can't even begin to tell you how relieved I am!

Because of that, I thought now would be a good time to start releasing teasers again. This week is going to be a little longer because it's been so long since I gave you any new teasers from this book. This week's teaser is from Logan's POV. 

THIS IS UNEDITED AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE BEFORE PUBLICATION.

“She just confused,” Ryanne tells me. “You have to look at it from her point of view. She was dying and then suddenly she wasn’t. You helped heal her. Then, she was thrown into the chaos that seems to always surround us. She didn’t really have a choice in the matter.”

“But she’s…”

“She’s scared, Logan.” My walk slows, because I know Ryanne will have more to say. “She didn’t know you, and suddenly you take up a lot of her thoughts. She may not want you to, but you do, and she doesn’t like that.”

“That comes with—”

“Being soulmates,” Ryanne finishes for me. At a crosswalk, Ryanne stops and looks directly up at me. “You’ve known about soulmates your entire life. Lily hasn’t. Growing up, we dreamed that someday our prince would come and sweep us off our feet. We dreamed of a happily every after, but as we got older, we knew that a dream was all that was. There was no such thing as our perfect half. Relationships are hard work, and Lily’s still in that mentality. You’re too good to be true for her.”

“How can—” she interrupts me again.

“It’s all new to her. The magic. Soulmates. A few months ago, she never knew any of it existed. Her life did a complete one-eighty, and she’s still reeling from that.”

“What should I do?” Ryanne reaches out and presses the button on the crosswalk.

“Be her prince,” she whispers and motions across the street. My eyes follow her hand. You sneaky little girl. Ryanne stopped up at the crosswalk that leads directly toward Lily’s neighborhood. “You’ve been brooding all week. Lily’s probably doing the same. Go to her, Logan, and give her back her slipper.”

Right now, I have about 50K written in Eternal Endings. I'm about halfway through what I want to write. I think I'll still be able to finish it by the end of the year, but this novel probably won't be published until early 2015. I've been going to my college's library to write almost every night, so hopefully that schedule sticks. *fingers crossed* I'll let you know more the closer I get to finishing.
