Lores Of Lyra! Free Promotion Client!

Free Wattpad Promotions! 

 Hello and welcome to what I think will be an interesting few months. Each week I will be posting blogs about Wattpad's writers. I will be promoting finished works, no matter how long or short.

Let's start with my first client, Maja! 
Here is her profile on Wattpad.com
And here is her story!

  
So what is the synopsis?

"The Blurb: [Winner of "Fantasy - On The Rise" in Watty Awards 2012] 
Stars. For a millennia, humans have stared up at the sky, watching them light up the night. Unknown to more, they've been watching back; protecting up and keeping us safe from dangers. However, in the land of Astron, two girls are struggling to keep themselves alive. Miriam has a dark secret, living a secluded life with all the benefits that wealth provides. While Annabell, is a poor orphan with a natural born gift of getting into trouble. With the help of two handsome lads, they have to uncover the truth about the prophecy that the Elders have worked so hard to hide- which isn't easy when none of the girls knows of the others existence. Change is coming, and Darkness is growing. In a race against time, they have to find the Rising Star before it's too late. Solem, help us all." 




Name/Wattpad username/Pen name: Maja D Jørgensen, xxmajaine 

Country of Origin: Denmark

Place of inspiration:Inside my head. XD 

Current finished work(s): The Lores of Lyra - Rising Star The Lores of Lyra - Shattered Star

Genre and why you like writing in this genre: Fantasy, adventure, paranormal and spiritual. The main genre would be fantasy, and I like writing it because it gives me a chance to create new worlds and new Species. I can make my own rules.

Published works of inspiration: There's too many that I like, and I can't remember which gave me inspiration around the time I wrote it. I was mostly inspired by wattpad writers and how beautifully they wrote tales of places I'd never visit.

Editing process: Even though I've spent much time on the books, I still consider them both to be first drafts. I have a long way to go before I'm ready to call it finished.

Reaction of friends and family who have read your works: Most people compliment the originality in the story. Stars aren't that widely used apparently.

Anything planned for the future with your writing: I'd like to publish one day. But for now the primary focus of me is simply to write and have fun with it.

What goes around just keeps going!

Hello humanoids! Prepare to be amazed!
IRON MAN 3 
KICKS
ARSE!!!



Now normally, I don't get involved in random movie critics' dribblings but I am glad that I managed to get in to see Iron Man 3 and love and laugh and become immersed- gripping onto my partners arm for dear life! It was mind boggling, funny, witty, snappy, trippy, funky, harrowing at one or two times, but I loved it and... want to see it again! Extortionate prices are cinema tickets these days, I know, but Iron Man 3 is so very worth it! 

Now onto more interesting things. Had a nice chat with my publishers and they want the book, Loving In Time, out within the next month or two. Sounds class, but not sure if it's quite there just yet. I know that it will be out soon enough but there are things that need to be finished first. Well I have the cover, and I have a sporty picture of me, somewhere on the back of the book, so all I need now is the manuscript polished beyond reason and I have my awesome Canadian friend doing that for me. I shall wait until she has finished with it. After all, she's doing her PhD in English and I could not be more proud of her! 

One more thing to mention, Kingdom of Fantasy is finally out! If you have an iPad, check out here for the itunes down link. It's £2.99 a pop or $4.99 for those over the pond! Check out my column and read the beautifully created comics of Rouke and the Enchantment Agency!

One other thing :) Now that I am back on Wattpad, I'm nearly finished with one of my stories. Love Is Green. The title sounds weird, like some jealous love triangle, but it's far from it. It's about a detective who's turned into a parrot... I shall say no more than that. Click here to be taken directly to the first chapter.

Over the past month or so, it's been good and bad. My 97 year old Grandma, Sarah, passed away, I was given a permanent job (and in this climate it's rare), I was taken ill for over a week and so my job has been put back, and I now find myself feeling stuck with nothing to do. Huff and puff! The only thing that keeps me sane is reading and writing and getting annoyingly involved in Neopets <don't ask LONG story. But yes, so let's see what happens next month, shall we? Whatever happens, what goes around, just keeps going...It is what it is.
