Happy Wednesday! Today is A Round of Words in 80 Days (ROW80) check in day. I'll get to that; but first, I want to share an awesome cover with you.
*****
Available this September, BETWEEN THE STARS AND SKY is a vivid contemporary novel from Young Adult author David James. Lyrical and romantic, BETWEEN THE STARS AND SKY is a heart-stopping, contemporary read for fans of Maggie Stiefvater and David Levithan.
SYNOPSIS: "In the small, lakeside town of Huntington, the Firelight Festival marks the end of summer. A time to laugh, to live, to love. And for Jackson Grant, it is a chance to begin again.
But there is a darker side to the Firelight Festival, a deadly tradition known as the Firelight Fall. A secret game. A legendary lie. A test of bravery. Those who fall risk everything, and Jackson is on the edge. Until he meets a girl who pushes him over.
For Jackson, falling for Sarah Blake might be as dangerous as jumping in the Firelight Fall. As summer burns away, Jackson and Sarah ignite an unstoppable love game. For her, his heart is on fire. And soon, Sarah shows him life, saves him from loss, and opens his heart to an infinite and wild love found between the stars and sky."

Pretty cool, huh?
Thanks to great productivity on Saturday--although I don't like working eight hours on a Saturday and I'm hoping my family forgives me--I was able to write the last few days. My total words for three days: 1,450. Slow, but steady. Hoping to do even better for the rest of the week.
Oh, and I'm finishing up an incredible beta read. Can't wait to share more about the book when it comes out!
How's everybody else doing?

SQUEEP! I can't wait to hear more about the beta-read. :) What was that 1k+ on? LOL! You know why I'm asking ;)
Get on it! Way to go, lady. WRITE ON!
That is a nice cover.
Were the 1450 words over a week or just several days? Doesn't matter, it's more than you had to start with. I'd say it was a productive period.
That cover looks perfect for a romantic fantasy, and I'm hoping your post leads to more visibility for James' work. I also finished up a beta read last week. What a commitment and pleasure to read someone else's wip. Re your own writing, it sounds like you are at that point when you are struggling to balance family commitments with writing. Persevere. And cherish your progress AND your family!
