I had an idea. . . I was thinking of making a small review corner on my writing blog. I have been reading the book The Marshall Plan for Novel Writing and it says to read my genre. However I have learned I write in several genres: Paranormal; Occult; Vampire; thriller; drama; and mostly Horror. My favorite authors are Anne Rice and Stephen King.

Top Headlines: Muse saw it shadow and went on vacation 6 weeks of writer’s block and counting

I was just really burnt out after editing “The Whispering Path.” It was 772 pages 6x9 in large font, and 180K words. I didn’t realize that editing was that draining: it took me March to May to get the 3rd edit completed I feel like muse needed a ( Read more... )

Top Headlines: Doing Everything but what I need to do. . . Sighs.

I have noticed that lately my life has been like when you go to the grocery store and buy everything, but what is on your list. My impulses lately have been taking over what needs to be done. I need to take the time I have awake and focus on finding a house and working on ( Read more... )

I have a few things to say referring to writing or the lack of. . .

Its official I am a published author, and I have the book to prove it. I honestly thought that it would be more exciting. However I am sitting here looking at my book: a little blue the book is done, a little depressed that I have to walk away from my character Lyric that I ( Read more... )

Yesterday Tom and I went to the bank, out to lunch and to do a few other errands as I mentioned in yesterday's blog http://rebekah1213.livejournal.com/140963.html (However it's a bit more bitter than this blog is is.)

I was sitting on the bus as the entire month of my grandma's sickness in the hospital and death (October-November 2009) replayed in ( Read more... )

I need to clear out my head before I can continue with my writings. . .

I am so behind on my writing, but part of it wasn’t my fault . . . our computer’s fan has not been working right. I opened the computer and cleaned it like my father told me too, but I just think two years of barely being off, the fan is just saying “I’m done.”  (We leave the ( Read more... )

I have so many things to write blogs about, I’m not sure where to begin

Okay. . . I’ll start with NaNoWriMo . . .

First of all, I thought it was weird to word count and now I realize it wasn’t a big deal. . . I use to page count, but there are times when you can only get a half of page written, but that could easily be 150-200 words

Secondly I ( Read more... )

There has been so much going on with my life in the last two months that I don’t know where to begin. . . I think I will start I can’t wait until 2011 to be so much better than 2010.  (However I am getting about a week ahead of myself.)

I should probably start with October-November and just go in order. . . Well in the end of October Tom’s 3 month ( Read more... )

Write about what you know . . . I have heard this all of my life. I do write what I know and enjoy learning about and this novel for NaNo is no different.

I was going to write this piece that I written once before, but I had gotten rid of because I had religious boyfriend at the time. (I was convinced there was too much lustful sinning going on in ( Read more... )

It's been a really busy week. It started on Monday when Tom and I went to visit Mom to go grocery shopping. We had dinner, got some ie cream: I had Pumpkin Ice cream with marshmellow, crunch, and whipped cream. Tom had a huge monster banana split with chocolate chunk ice cream, brownie ice cream and black cherry ice cream and extra cherries. It was ( Read more... )
