An update on the next book

So my next book will be published soon. Right now my editor is reading it over. Once she is done I will fix anything that needs it and then I will get it published.

I will have more information once I have the printed editing copy in my hands in a week or so.

The plan is to have it ready for publishing by the beginning of April. The goal is to have it published by my birthday, which is April 8th.

Watch for any updates on "The Fire of Night." That is the name of the 2nd book in "The Night Trilogy."

Thank you!

Just a bit of inspiration.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Live the life you have imagined.

-Henry David Thoreau

This is good advice. If you do go confidently the way you dreamed you will be more likely to succeed. Live the life you imagined because it will make you happier. 

I can say after years of not living the the life I has dreamed it makes me now even at the age of 29 almost 30 want to start living that way. I choose to do that 2 years ago when I decided to finally start writing again. Finally I accomplished one of the things I had been dreaming of for a long time. I have been happy since I wrote and published my first book. The first took me 2 years to write, the one I'm working on now is taking so much less time. I think because I am a lot happier now that I got to the start of my dreams. 

So yes, do as this quote from Henry David Thoreau says. You could be one of the happiest people in the world. I know I'm getting there. 

I only hope that this little testimonial of inspiration will help you be as happy as I am or more.

Thank you!

Love this song. It says everything to live by. You only have to be brave to go out and work toward your dreams and goals you want to accomplish.



Take my word for it. Be brave. Face the challenges. Speak up. Honestly, I wanna see you be brave. As the song says!



Thank you!

How to get inspired.

So I know that those who wish write a book want to know where to start. They want to ask another author how they do it. I have been tempted myself to do the same thing at times. Sometimes I just wanted to give and forget about my dream to write.

I started doing online research trying to find other people who give advice on how to write. It all discouraged me even more. I didn't know if I was going to finish my first book and get it to where it is today.

Nonetheless I kept writing. I could give my tips on how to write, which I will, but the best advice I can give is write the way you want to. I have no pointers for other inspiring authors. I have no way to inspire, unless reading what I wrote inspires you.

My tips on how I write is when an idea comes to me I write it down. Everything that is there I write it down on paper. As for writing the story. I start at the beginning. With "The Dark of Night" I started with the beginning, exactly what the beginning of the book starts out as, but it was then chapter one. I think when I was on either chapter 2 or 3 is when the ending popped into my head. At that moment it wasn't the end. I was still trying to figure out where to put it. It took a few days to figure out where it should go. When it finally got it spot in the book I could finally go on to finished writing.

Apparently it isn't going to be the last time I write a book that. When I started the 2nd I got the ending as well. It actually helps me get the beginning to the end. It helps me know where I need to get to. There is still a lot of work in between. One I have a beginning and an end I find it so much easier to figure out how to get everything in between.

As for other tips. I have none. I only have what it is I do. It may not be perfect, even in the end. These are my ideas and not everyone will like them. It may not be how you write. Just put it on paper, or on computer, whichever is the way you write.

My advice to you is write how you want to. It is the only advice I can give that will be the most helpfully.

Thank you!

It's that time of year again!

It's that time of year again. The time when everyone is racing around to buy presents. The time when everyone gets stressed when things get out of sorts. When they can't find the one special thing that someone in the family has been asking Santa for.

I know I'm guilty of stuff like that. Mine, not so much those reason per say.  I have other reason to stress, but none is a big deal.

I know it has been awhile since the last time I posted, but I need to post something. Yesterday on my Facebook page that on December 17th until the 19th my book The Dark of Night will be available free for all you kindle users out there.

And the count down begins!

Remember on the 17th to the 19th it will be free to download on any kindle or device you use the kindle app on.

Don't have a kindle? You can download it for the PC and you can download it on your phones and other tablets. Be sure to do that before or on the 17th to get The Dark of Night for free. 3 days only. After that I may have it marked down for as long as I can before Christmas and the New Year.

Be sure find me on Facebook and Twitter. J. R. Tyger on Facebook and @author_jrtyger on Twitter.

Thank you!

Crazy!

These last few weeks have been crazy with supposed threats and now today all of area schools are containing all activities inside because there is someone running around on foot in the area with a gun. What is this world coming to?

These are the people who need help. They need to talk to someone, not have a gun in their hands. If these people would just get help in some shape or form things would be less tragic. Even if they can't seem to get the help themselves, I would hope there is someone out there that would do their best to help them get the help they need.

Yes, I know you can't force someone to go see a therapist, but maybe all they need is for someone to listen to what they have to say. They may not need a professional. All they may need is your ear to listen to what is hurting them.

Aside from those horrible things happening in my community at the moment I haven't added anything in while because I have been writing. I ended up with an earache. For a week I couldn't locate ear drops in a store. that is until yesterday when I had to get a pack of wipes for my daughter who uses them after she is done on her potty. I finally found ear drops in the baby section of all places.

With my earache came an ache in my jaw and it my my eye irritated as well. Now that I found drops to treat the ache I can finally get back to writing.
