PSA

Just wanted to let you all know that we are made of awesome. Of really cool, ass kicking AWESOME.

Now you can all comment here and confess: none of you really expected us to win this year’s NaNoWriMo, did you? We already knew, that was the only reason that kept us going through the entire month: the pleasure of looking into your disbelieving eyes and saying: We made it! So here we are now and we are saying it, well, rather we are screaming it from the top of our lungs: WE MADE IT! Besides the personal pleasure that we are getting from winning something in our lives, we also got something else. We got two new drafts that will soon become the first two books in this new series we have been talking about for the last few months. It’s still going to be a while before you’ll be able to get pre-reading manuscripts because writing that fast didn’t allow us much time to stop and polish the details, but we will get to that soon. For now we are going to leave you with a teaser about this new series: You will get to meet 11 different forces from the universe that happen to be brothers and sisters (seven and four anyway). You sure have heard about them before, but no one has ever told you their true story; that’s what we are here for. So I’ll stop here for today, just let me add one last thing… …

… 

WE FRIGGING WON NANOWRIMO 2010!!!! 

Update from the depths of the literary void

Hello everyone!

Yes, we know it. We know that news from the front have been scarce in the last months and that some of you might have feared that we had fallen before the enemy. However, I can assure you that this is not the case, we are both alive and kicking.

In fact we have been very productive lately. As we informed you some time ago, we held a meeting in Paris. Yeah, something like a very secret reunion surrounded by some people that we then had to kill because they had heard our best kept secrets… Well, not really; but we did meet. During this week we managed to come up with several different things.

To begin with, we finished the first draft for The Forge of the Prophecy. Yes, you read it! The story is now written, we know how it begins and – most important – we know how it ends. After lots of plotting, planning and some crying, the story came together as a whole. Needless to say how proud we are. Soon enough we will start working on the final draft, we already have a lot of ideas of what needs to be included or changed. The wait is slowly coming to an end.

But that wasn’t the only thing we did in Paris, not by far. As we were there NaNoWriMo started. We had already planned a new series (yes, who wants to write a book when you can write a whole series?) and decided to use this opportunity to write the first two novels. We love the concept and we had really good ideas, and we are confident that you will like them as well when the time comes for you to know more about them. I also have some cool news from some of you: this new series will be written in English! We had a really fun NaNoWriMo kick up with some other writers.

I know you want the information about this new series, but you are still gonna have to wait a little bit, though we will be sharing more and more information regarding this series with you.

I hope this update is enough to prove that we haven’t disappeared into the abyss of literary doom and we will try to update you as often as possible. As usual, we are going to need “beta readers” for the new series, so if you are up to the task just let us know.

Cheers!
