Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

Filler words also play a role in the development of the narrative voice. An omniscient narrator might use different filler words compared to a first - person narrator. The choice of filler words can also change over the course of the novel as the character grows or the situation changes. For instance, a character who becomes more confident might use fewer filler words as the story progresses.

In novels, filler words can also be used for character differentiation. A nervous character might use more 'um's and 'ah's compared to a confident one. They can be a subtle tool for characterization. Moreover, in some cases, filler words can be used to create a regional or social dialect. For example, certain words might be more common in a rural setting's dialogue, which can help to paint a more vivid picture of the world in the novel.

Well, common filler words like 'um', 'uh', 'like' in a more informal sense, and overly used adverbs such as 'very' can often be cut. For example, instead of saying 'He was very tired', you could say 'He was tired'. Also, words that don't add much meaning to the sentence, like some redundant prepositional phrases, should be considered for removal. Look at your sentences closely and see if words can be removed without changing the core meaning.

What Are the Most Common Filler Words to Cut from Your Novel?

Well, 'just', 'maybe', and 'sort of' are among the filler words to cut. 'Just' is used so often but often doesn't add much. For instance, 'I just wanted to say' could be 'I wanted to say'. 'Maybe' can make a statement seem less certain than it should be in a novel. 'Sort of' is a very weak expression. Instead of 'He was sort of angry', you could be more definitive like 'He was angry'. By removing these filler words, your novel can have a more direct and engaging style.
What are some filler horror stories?

One filler horror story could be about a haunted doll. The doll was found in an old attic. It had a cracked porcelain face and empty eyes. At night, it would move on its own, and people in the house could hear faint giggles coming from the room where it was placed. Another could be a story of a cursed mirror. Anyone who looked into it for too long would see a distorted version of themselves and then strange things would start to happen around them, like objects moving on their own.
