I’m on Chapter 12 of edits and revisions of Wastelands of Oz…I feel like when I don’t change something in a chapter I’m not doing a good job. I have been adding in descriptions and changing the flow of words, but I feel like I need to do more. Am I overthinking it? I don’t know but I guess once I get it to beta readers I will find out =] Glinda reinvisioned in this book, also adjusting character profiles and tools of the craft. I think I might be making Glinda a sorceress as well and Maryjane may overpower all of them and be a magus mortem Sorceress….I have come to realize in my own writings around fictional magick that the path of the witches in the novel is very grey witchcraft. So a character revision is in some serious planning now. “You cannot heal unless you can throw a curse.” Maryjane will take a dark trip toward the end gaining power untold. Also thinking about completely killing Glinda off like my initial idea was…decisions decisions.

This book doesn’t go into detail to much of Dorothy but it still surrounds her life through her daughter’s eyes. I remember watching the Wizard of Oz over and over at the age of three. Yes, I was that little and still remember watching it and keeping my gaze for so long on the movie that my yes burned when I blinked. I was captivated by the movie and so is my daughter

Did you enjoy the first trip to the Land of Oz? How about the second? What about the 14th? Do you remember these trips so well you can hear the sound of Oz and can feel Oz’s colors dripping on your skin? Good. It’s about time for another trip to Oz. There’s a new sorceress causing pandemonium in the cities and lands of Oz. Who will stop it this time? Dorothy? It’s been years since she has been to Oz. She is an elderly woman now. Then who, you might ask? Who do you think? Who would have the trips, the memories, the friends, and the adventures like Dorothy? It’s a tough question yet the answer is so simple. Who? Why none other than her daughter, Maryjane, a powerful witch whose powers were granted to her from the Elders of Oz. She will risk losing everything to save her mom, the trio of friends, and Oz from the clutches of evil. Love, death, rebirth, and salvation are whirling around in the cyclones of Oz.
