Well its that time again. Another week gone by, still no further along than last week. It is almost painfull waiting for my drafts to come back so i can edit AGAIN. I have no one to blame but myself though, I should have taken the time to do it right the first time. Chasing your dreams is a tough row to hoe. I know I will never be a beautiful 120lb hard body again, I have pretty much given up on fame and fortune, but getting published is within my grasp. For me if I sell ONE copy to a person who does not know me, and they give it a decent review, It will be worth it. I love that I have other friends that are walking this same path right now. Though, they have better rescources than I, I feel akin to them and their journey. I hope that they do not see me as a joke for trying to do this by myself. I am not trying to make a mochery of thier work, I have been working on this for almost three years now, and I have been so happy to have someone to talk with about things. So you go girls! T...

It has been a rough week for me. I haven't gotten much writing done. I had a sick kid and a person from my group home pass away. For lack of a better word life has been a bit surreal. This aside, I did get a few things penned and I had time to sit down with my child and go over what kind of a book she would like me to write. Here is what we have: epic adventure: Like the hobbit two kids go in search of a flower to cure a great plague that has consumed the land They meet friends along the way that help them  they travel through an enchanted Forrest extinct volcano swamp with aligators desert there is a water castle at the edge of a rainforest where a witch guards the flower a wizard gives them an orb that will transport one of them home beyond the rainforest is a portal but it may not send them to the right time or place an old lady warns them not to go through they meet someone who brings them home  happy ending Now i am no JR Tolkien or CS Lewis..and I cant ...

Welcome to this week’s throw out!! I have had a busy, yet creative week. I got some good feedback about my first released version of muse that I appreciated. This resulted in a new project, since I was reminded that I cannot let my daughter read my work until she is MUCH older…so now I am going to sit down and hash out a new concept with her involvement so that she can share what I love to do with her friends. I also came up with a new project concept that revolves around my experiences growing up with my group of girlfriends. It will be loosely based on some of the tricks we pulled and things we did in our late teens and twenties. The premise will be that five girls in their thirties take one last girls vacation and reminisce about their lives and friendships. I already came up with a title, “ The last hurrah of those girls”. Ok maybe that needs work, but I love this concept. On to the teaser!! Muse Vol. 2 Prologue   1200 B.C.E   I walk through ...

I have discovered some things in the past week. First, it pays to have friends that tell it like it is. Second, it helps to know ALOT of people who love to read. Finally, never doubt your own instincts. I did not trust my gut, and now i am afraid I will have to work even harder to get Muse out. It is OK, I would rather put in the extra time to get it right. I have a new beta helping me out on one of my projects. She has the thing done( on her end) after one week. I am pretty sure she gave me whiplash, but I like it.  Hoping to get together to discuss soon, but it is hard to make time. So as far as that goes, I am just excited to have her at this point...freaking awesome <3! This week I am doing something different, I am breaking one of my primary rules about my throwout. I am going to share one of my favorite scenes from one of my books.  I hope you like it as much as I do! Scarred “How long have you been standing ...

Sometimes all you can do is laugh to avoid crying. After two years of work I finally publish Muse, only to take it down after less than a week. The irony is that I had been waiting for it to post on KOBO because it would not let me delist it until it officially published. Tonight I go to check to see if it had listed yet...and there it was loud and proud on sale in the European market. It was nice to fool myself for a second, into thinking it was back on the market. Then promptly hitting delist (sad face) I bopped over to post my weekly ramblings. I love that there are people in my life that will tell me what I need to hear, and talk me down from my neurotic spaz outs. I really appreciate that they will say "hey, this has a ton of mistakes!" or " stop freaking out, you are taking things too personally!" These friends know who they are, and  I thank you and love you all!!. That being said, I continue my search for content betas, and have enlisted some new spellin...
