tHURSDAY THROW OUT!

Well,Well..it seems its Thursday again. Thus I am faced with the daunting task of figuring out what it is I want to bring you this week. I have been working so hard on edits that I have had little to no time to write..I just want this thing done!!! I fear that all this time I have been talking about this book I am writing, and it is going to fail to measure up to your expectations.

Oh well, I cant let the fear of striking out, prevent me from playing the game right??

On to the teaser!!!

Concept:


I leave Jesse and Cody at the front doors and go to find a parking spot.  The parking ramp is adjacent to the hospital so I make my way across the street. I drive  to the fourth floor because I know there is a sky way that leads into the hospital. After five minutes of driving in circles I finally spot an open bay.  Locking the doors of the BMW I turn toward the sky way only to find the passage blocked by construction tape and cones. Cursing under my breath I start to walk toward level three where there is an elevator to the bottom.

I round the first corner  when I hear a car approaching from behind. I move to the side so they can pass, only to hear brake pads squealing.  The black sedan slows to the same pace as I am walking and lingers beside me for a moment. I turn and glare at the window but they are tinted so dark I can’t even make out a shape through the black glass. Suddenly the car speeds away, chirping its wheels as it takes the curve toward the exit. I shake my head, reminding myself about the shifty people in this neighborhood, before entering the elevator and hitting the button for the ground floor.
*****
See...vague as hell right..trust me it is shaping up to be a great book, I am just having trouble finding things that will not give away huge chunks of the story...i hope you understand...Come back again next week and hopefully I will have something with much more muchness!

Downward spiral throw out.

A word of advice. Never become a writer. Why? Well, I will tell you. Eventually, you start to believe your own bullshit.  Delude yourself into seeing things that aren't there. You are convinced at first that situations are innocent, then your friends say they are not, and you believe them. Just trust your instincts. Fairy tales are just that. Never going to happen. Especially not to me. So I open my mouth, loaded with misconceived information, that I didn't want to believe to begin with, and now I am pretty sure I fucked something up that could have pretty awesome. Ugg, I should be used to this by now, but I guess it never gets easier. I have deleted two posts this week, which I never do. I over stepped, caught up in a moment of irrationality, that I should have been smart enough to avoid. My apologies world, for not being better than my illness. Not this time. -------->BATSHIT

With a little help from my friends Thursday throw out

So I was given a some constructive criticism from a beta who's opinion I value greatly. She was not a fan of my original prologue for one of my books. I redid it with the suggestions she gave me. After several drafts, trying out different concepts, I finally had something I thought was acceptable. Unfortunately, I am still in love with my first idea. This is where you come in! Tonight I am posting both prologues for said book. I want to put it to a vote. If you could please read both versions posted below. Then, either leave the coinciding letter in the comments below or on the Facebook post that brought you to this page. You may also leave any comments or critique you may have below. The comments are not published unless I approve them, so if you would rather them not be visible please specify. Here We GO!!!!!

Every picture tells a story

So I have had time to process the suggestions given by my Beta and I have now organized them in such a way the my brain can process. 1. revamp prologue it sucks..well at least reword and add to it 2. Decide weather or not you want to take out things that personalize it to me...how much of myself do i want to leave on paper. 3. re-evaluate the refrences 4. it needs more muchness 5. suck it up..you can do this So here I sit staring at the picture that my daughter drew me, the back of which, where the first words of muse were laid out on paper.  It took me only a few seconds for this picture to inspire my story. Maybe if i stare at it long enough it will tell me how to proceed.
