Edits Done!!!

Well I have finally finished the edits on The Connelly Chronicles: Family Connections and sent them back to the wonderful Jamie DR.

I have also emailed Steve L to find out the update on the edits for Experimentals: Blessed With A Curse.

I still have no cover art for either of them but when I do you know I'll share them with you all. I think getting the covers is just as much fun as writing the stories.

Summer Is In The Air

The days and nights are starting to heat up so soon I'm going to need a new air-conditioner in my office. I don't want to lose another tower to the temperature.

I'm still doing the last read-through of The Connelly Chronicles: Family Connections before I send it back to Jamie DR... So thankful that I listened to her.

I hope it rains soon as our tanks could use a top up. we have been here for 5 years and haven't had to buy water yet... nor do I ever want to have to. Though I hope when the rain finally does come it's not another flood.

Memories & Dreams

Lately I've been having some of the some of the strangest dreams ever, and we all know that when I dream it's a new story trying to get out. I'm not sure if they are all the same story or bits and pieces of a lot of stories...it's weird but Vlad tells me they are important...so like a good author that I am I've been jotting down notes. One day they'll all suddenly come to fruition and I'll realise why my dreams have been so vivid.

The truth is; sometimes I'm not sure if they are dreams or I'm recalling a memory that I may have shoved to the back of my mind.  I think most writers pull inspiration from their own lives. Isn't the saying: write what you know?

But I think most of my inspiration comes from dreams... and maybe a line of lyrics out of a song I've been listening to. Why am I telling you all this I hear you ask. Because, I think everyone has it in them to be a writer--whether it be a writer of books, poetry, songs, TV programs, or movies. I think I'm trying to say that maybe if you have a thought however strange it is, you should write it down. That strange thought may be the one to make all your dreams come true.

Updates & Changes

This is the picture I have as my desktop background... he looks great in a pair of leather pants - even Em had to agree. So beautiful is Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

I have received today and started on the 2nd round of edits for The Connelly Chronicles: Family Connections. I hope to get them done and back by tomorrow to the wonderful Jamie D R.

I also revamped and tried to de-clutter my Blog page... I've decided to only display the 3 current WIPS I'm working on at a time so people know where my head is at. well I can hope at least.

So Much To Do...

Why is it when you are busy as hell your life seems to be on fast forward and everything ends up in a total rush?

Okay, I know life's rules are always chopping and changing... but for once I'd just like it to slow down long enough for me to actually have the chance to enjoy it.

I now have to get as much writing done as possible so I have time to enjoy my sister coming for a visit - My luck I'll be inundated with edits.

Hopefully when the hubs gets home this weekend we can finish putting up the shelves in my office so that I can get the rest of my stuff put away.

Today I Am...

Today I am... doing last minute revisions on The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows.

Today I am... writing up a synopsis & blurbs on The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows.

Today I am... going to submit The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows.

Tomorrow I will... begin the long wait to see if I get a contract.

NaNoWriMo

Okay, I've been mulling through a few thoughts for NaNo this year. So I thought I'd share my rambling mind with you. 

Like should it be one novel or two novella's - I still have no clue? Though, I think I'm going to try my hand at Sci- Fi - here's hoping I don't suck at it. 

My other thought is should I use NaNo to finish a project or should I start something fresh?

What kind of characters should I have - soft, hard, jerks, twinks? (That came out sounding so wrong).

Should I write Young Adult? Or, should I stick with what I know best?
