Inkfeather Pages

Inkfeather Pages is where I share the messier, more honest side of writing life — drafting, revising, the odd garden-fatigued Sunday, and everything in between. Expect notes from the desk, behind-the-scenes glimpses of works in progress, and the occasional ramble about what it actually takes to finish a novel.

Jemma Weir is a Scottish indie author of paranormal romance and urban fantasy with bite: magic is messy, love is fierce, and family means everything. Fantasy was her first love. Now she writes the kind of stories she always wanted to read — gritty, heartfelt, and just a little unhinged.

Looking for ARC for Buried by Earth – Book 1 Paranormal Romance

I’ve finished Buried by Earth, and it is now ready for ARC readers in advance of its being published on the 5th of January. What is an ARC Reader An Advance Reader Copy (ARC) is an unpublished version of a book that authors send to reviewers before the official release date.

Rebranding the Rift Bloodlines Series to Highland Rift Pack

Over the last week, I have rebranded my entire Rift Bloodlines series to Highland Rift Pack. Why Rebrand to Highland Rift Pack? I was on the edge of sleep last week, thinking about all the various plans for this particular series, and it occurred to me that I wanted to write some other characters in this world. But those characters weren’t shifters and weren’t part of the main arc that flows through the books I’ve

Finished Proof Edit of Book 1 + 2 of Rift Bloodlines

It’s done! I have finished the Proof edit of Books 1 and 2 of Rift Bloodlines (almost…). I bought Grammarly after I finished book 2 read aloud, so now I need to go back to book 1. What did my proof edit of Rift Bloodlines 1 + 2 involve? Each edit I’ve done has been slightly different, and this one is no exception. So what was my process for this edit? Read aloud – Editing

September Update – How is it almost Q4 already?

I cannot believe we are nearly in to October! This year has flown by. I’m already looking forward to what I want to do next year! That may be my impatience to get Rift Bloodlines ready and out there. This month has been up and down in progress as I came down with the flu and was unwell for over a week. But I’m finally feeling better and getting back into the swing of things.

Finished Draft 3 of Rift Bloodlines 3 – Battered by Storms

It’s done! I have finished Draft 3 of Rift Bloodlines 3 – Battered by Storms. This one took longer than expected, but not for the main edit itself. I did another review after I finished the main edit to make sure I’d got the changes I was making right. That Proof Read as I called it, took a lot longer than planned. The start of this book was the hardest part of the proof read,

2023 Week 4 July Camp Nano ends in 85702

Week 4 July Camp Nano ends in 85702! I hit my Nano goal on the 23rd, and on the 25th I finished the book. It came in at 85702. Before I can officially mark this draft as done, I need to double back fix chapter one, and a POV issue. My writers group kindly reviewed the first chapter and gave some fantastic ideas on what was wrong and how I can fix it. So, after

2023 Week 3 July Camp Nano ends in 74002

Week 3 July Camp Nano ends in 74002 words! That’s just over 17k words on last week, so a much lower word count. It was mostly expected as I knew there was going to be a sticky point right inside the fight scene. But after much back and forth, the fix finally settled into place and it worked! My writers group has been taking a peak at the beginning scenes in this book for me.

2023 Week 2 July Camp Nano ends in 56658 words

Week 2 July Camp Nano ends in 56658 words! That’s nearly 37k words on last week, and I hit the 2/3 mark, way above target. With this weeks fast progress this week I’m nearing into Act 3. Act 3 is going require a lot of work in places, but if this progress keeps up I might be able to finish this up early. Keep track of my progress here – https://nanowrimo.org/participants/jemmaweir/projects/rb3-battered-by-storms-draft-3
