I've been kinda on a dry spell lately and yesterday I finally got a moving in the story which is making me excited. So, in two days, yesterday and today I've been going at it and hand written 11.5 pages, back to back, making a total of 23 pages. I've written two in a half chapters in two days and that'll be a new record, I'm lucky if I can get that in a week.
I'm loving the feeling and hoping I can keep the momenta going and then I'll be done with the first written draft in no time..... :) Let's just hope my hand won't give out on me.....
But don't worry I won't forget about this one, to those who read it. I created this for my book series, to talk about it and it's progress and nothing more. But I have more I want to say. So that why I created another. I'll be doing book reviews (I've gotten better....I think), tv/movie reviews, and other random stuff I want to talk about, stuff I can't talk about here, on this blog because it would take away the point on why I created.
The new blog was in hopes of co-hosting it with my sister but right now she's not so sure about. But between you and me I'm pretty sure she'll change her mind. When, don't know but she can start whenever she feels like it. :) Time to have some fun....<3
Monday mom got back the rest of the chapters from Donna, 11-26, and yesturday I just started to dive into the editing for them.
Today it just dawned on to me that this might actually happen. I just have one more person that needs to read it, get a cover, copywrite it, then work on self-publishing it. Sounds crazy, right? So as I'm going through it, sometimes I'm catching myself as just another reader, reading a book I just got off a shelf and I'm seeing that this is actually pretty good and I get sucked in at moments with two of my favorite characters. A little weird but it gives me confidence that I might have actually found my calling and it brings chills. :)
You know what would only help out on my confidence even more is a full on detail review from Donna which I have asked my mother to get from her and I can't wait to see what she likes. Over all, all she's been saying is that she loves it, but I want a little more.
I adore this song and it's even going to be on the soundtrack for my second installment, Taken, and I can't wait to write down that scene.... :)
rythem & beat it's a big part of a writers, scratch that, it's a big part of any bodies world. Whether its rap, pop, r&b, or even country....yes, even country. It's there in our lives where every we go. So today I'll be talking about one song in particular.
The first time I heard this song was on a show called, Harper's Island, the best show I've every seen that had all my favorite elements and I was truly surpised in every episode as I watched them one by one. Sidenote: right now I would like to say sorry to all those people that I got hooked onto the show, truly sorry...sorta.
Anyways the song is called, Letters From The Sky by Civil Twilight. And I fell in love with it the moment I heard it. Though in the show it's a very sad scene, so every time I hear it I tend to vision that specific scene. So here's the scene,
This song is actually going to be the theme song for the main girl and the guy she's slowly falling for but it's going to be a part of the third installment and yes, I already got that scene planned out and it's going to be closely to the end. So excited. :) But sadly I can't get to it right now because I have yet finished the second. Then again, with me, I already had the ending for book two in my mind before I even got started on the first. But, trust me, I will not forget it. It's going to be a truly powerful scene.
So my quick edit was sent to my moms other friend, Donna. Which her job is to help edit, make sure nothing is confusing, and over all that it is a good story. And just to let you guys know she wanted to do this and I truly appricated it. It's nice to have another pair of eyes.
Today when mom got home she dropped off what Donna had already edited, Chapters 1-10. On her view on it right now is that she loves the concept and it's very dynamic though I need to work on the technically stuff. Like, grammer, repeating, and short on the details in some spots. And I know I need to work on that but isn't it better to have more details than not much at all. You can always cross out.
So, soon I'll be working on edit number two and I can't wait to see what else she has to say about it. :) Me very happy!
Okay short, short blog but I just wanted to say wow.....125 pageviews, that's like amazing. Whether they're reading it or not something grabbed there attention about this blog and that's pretty cool.
I've noticed on the stats that I've had some viewers from over the pond, in the UK and someplace over in the lower part of Thailand.
But anyways, Dr. Pepper is celebrating their 125th anniversary this year and though my blog hasn't been here for 125 years, I just had to show case their design for their cans this year.
I spotted my sister drinking a can one day and I just thought they were too cute. I love it from the colorful can to the diner girl.
For some reason I have a thing for the years between 1920's to the 1960's. From what I've seen on TV, whether it's true to the year, they just seem so colorful, so lively unlike today.
So hopefully one day my writing will take me to one of those timelines. *crosses her fingers*
