Kinda Cute


I don't  know why, but I really like these. In fact, I'd rather have these then the smiley faces. Although, I think flames would be pretty cool too. 

Yeah, I'm silly. I found these when I was doing research for Muse's for my characters.

Book Progress

So I stole this idea from a great writer's blog, but here's my progress on my new Death book. It is completely different from Andy and Keegan and a little hotter. It could go in the Romance section if it wasn't about a teenage girl. Oh well. Here's the progress on that:

Yummy :)

So, I need a muse for one of my main character in my new series. I've narrowed it down to 3, but I may need some help with the major decision. #1 is more of for your benefit. He's 30 and very handsome!!!
          
:)
#1:  #2:     
#3:   #4:    

[Edit: So, I just found out that #1 (Daniel Henney) is in Wolverine... and I am so there to see it!! ;). I thought he was just in Korean movies, but lucky me, he's in American movies too!!]

Delay

So I have a pleasant delay right now in Ghost Whisper.


I started writing my Death story, and so far, I REALLY like it. It has action, romance, suspense, and I've only written 2,536 words!


I'm in a writers block on it right now, but the block is coming from the fact that I can't think of a good name for the main characters. I want the girls to be something with meaning. Like Faith, Charity, Patience, or something like that. But not those.


If you have any suggestions please let me know. I may just make her name G so that way I can keep the story going. And B for the guy :D.


My delay actually started because I can't afford to print another couple copies yet, so me being a masochistic person, decided to pile more onto my already full plate and start this story that's been bugging the pooh out of me since I thought of the idea.


And so far it's seeming as easy to write as Ghost Whisper, if not easier. I wanted to try a different style of writing, a less sarcastic (oh of course it's still there) more fluid and descriptive way of writing. Hopefully I'll like it (and you of course:P)

Hmmmm

Psychiatry. a condition of general emotional dejection and withdrawal; sadness greater and more prolonged than that warranted by any objective reason

That's the definition of depression per Dictionary.com. Here's my definition:

When in 6 months your: disowned, spited, disqualified for your main goal for the past couple of years, you gain weight, lose weight, gain weight back, have 5 periods in the span of 2 1/2 months, you are sick since September with every single little thing that is going around by just breathing in the same room as someone who's sick, you can't go into interviews for a better job because you are tied M-F to the place you despise with such passion it would rival Amber vs green beans or alfredo sauce or seafood, your significant other won't help you for ONE month so you can at least get the opportunity to go to a better place where your not constantly nagged or bitched at.

... Anyway.. yay...

Second Printing

I am trying very hard to be able to print my book tomorrow. I have an interview with a placement agency early tomorrow morning and I have no idea where it is. So hopefully I'll be awake enough. I may need to grab some coffee, but I think I'll be fine.

I had to buy Microsoft Office Publisher to be able to get it to the size and formatting I want. I'm going to try something a little bit different. Maybe make the font a little smaller and the paper size a little smaller, that way it feels like a regular book. Although, it might be either more or less expensive. The pics might turn out okay. Hmmm..

Anyway, that's all I have for tonight. Don't worry though, I have been keeping my receipts for all my writing expenses and I'll use them as a write off for 2009. I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot of that. I'm even using my receipts from buying books. I'm using the books as research and as educating myself on what sells and enhancing my writing skills with alternate words, etc.

Okay, enough tax talk... I'm kind of bummed that I don't get to spend my return. It's going to my credit card... bummer. I'm such a shopaholic.

Death's Call

So I thought of another story that will be way good.

It's about a girl that escapes death where everyone else she loves doesn't. But since her escape she's chased down by death. She travels by herself in the city (not sure which one yet) by night because death sleeps during the day....

Okay, so lame, I know... but I was in my best place for thinking earlier (the shower) and I was thinking of all the action that could be placed in there.. and I already started thinking of the girl and her sidekick :) and of the love interest!!! muahaha

Oh, hey, I started an official website for my writing. I was kind of going to make this my "official blog" for writing, but it became just an update that I sometimes put writing on...

so if you're interested, post your email as a comment or simply go to: http://slaglebagel05.webs.com/apps/auth/signup?next= to register. You can also check out my site to see if you like it. I just did it.... Monday night I believe so there's still a lot to work on.

And no, as much as I wished I was, I'm not published yet, I just heard that having an official website that I update often is a good way to show dedication as a writer.

Later gator!
