When short PLUS short EQUALS novella.

I’ve been very inspired lately.
First, I’m constantly editing the 1st book of my vampire saga – I had to divide it somehow to make it work. When I first wrote the book in Portuguese, it included only one POV – Maria’s – the human. Then, one day (3 years ago), I decided to write a separated book with a different POV: David’s – the vampire. Well. I didn’t work that well. So I decided to articulate both POV’s and make it more dynamic. I think it’s going along fine.
Second, the angel thing has been consuming. Like, literally. What started as an isolated, random angelic episode with blood and possessiveness [i.e., Insane Affection] became something more – a ‘to be continued’ followed, and more creatures of heavens descended to play their part in a mini-sequel. ‘Whispers in the Dark’ had been born. I thought it would be the end of the fallen angel’s issue.
It wasn’t.
Inspiration struck once again.
‘Whispers in the Dark’ had an open end. So all I had to do was follow my guts. It went on.
I gave my main character – Sarah Davis –, a purpose I never thought she would have - a central role in the story. Other characters appeared – fallen angels and archangels – all of them with a peculiar way of living and coping with condemnation.
And I’ve been on it since then.
It won’t be long enough to become a novel – but it’ll become an interesting novella, I hope. I think it has some potential. When I decided to explore this subject (angels and etcetera), in late September, I never thought the plot would evolve like this. No, for me the celestial theme was spent and I hadn’t imagination to go on. Apparently I surprised myself.

I’m naming it ‘Engel’.
Not in a thousand years I imagined Rammstein would be my muse.
