It's a record of the writing of a novel, from the tantalising first inklings of an idea, through to the final draft. But above all it's an exploration of the art and

Quest to find oneself

Last night I couldn't fall asleep because I began to think about things. Some years ago I had joined an interesting site and decided that I should write about what I'd been through. You may have heard of it. MySpace? Sound at all familiar? Well, anyhoo, I had joined there and found a new love of writing that I hadn't found from much else. Through the encouragement of my best friend, I decided that I would start to post my poetry, then I moved on to telling people the things I'd been through. Which, ended up practically being a lifesaver for me. It started the urge to pursue my writing career, which I was fortunate for, since I had never really felt  a passion for anything before and once I started to post things for public consumption, I really loved it. Not just that, but people actually enjoyed  reading what I posted.  Imagine that! My writing career was born. Then came the few people who surround me, which still to this day, manage to criticize eve

Decisions, decisions... pennies or copper

So it's that time again, when I begin to research hair colors. I am having a little too much fun playing with different colors. Now, I still technically have a month before I'll be doing my hair, perhaps a little bit longer so I'm just "researching" and like usual, I feel like being bold. Let's see how that works hmm? I have been all sorts of different versions of red , so I am keeping to that family because well, I'm naturally a red shade girl. My profile picture is my natural tone, if you can't see it, here it is below: Those are the two best shots I have of my hair colors. You can see the hair has red and gold tones, depending on the light. In the winter it turns darker, but in summer that long hair shot really shows the lightness I get. Almost a strawberry blonde tone. I've never been told my true hair color, or been able to compare it to anything, so whatever you want guess is good with me. I've had some say "light brown&qu

Show Some Book Love on Amazon.com and Smashwords

I had a wonderful idea and I wanted to implement it! It came from this site on Indies Unlimited and this post:  This Love Train Stops at Amazon.com They offer up "likes" for your Amazon Author Central page. Post your link, get people to "like" your page, get some more attention, as well as their site does. I mean come on, we're all up for that right? So to follow that idea, I thought it'd be JUST as great to get our books some attention. Not just the author page. So in the post below, feel free to post the link to your BOOK on Amazon.com and/or Smashwords to get everyone to add some "likes" to it, to share some love. How to get the link. One of the easiest ways for me all the time: Go to Amazon Author Central Click on the book Copy the url in the address bar Paste in comment below Another way:  Go to Amazon.com Search out your book Click on title Copy url from address bar Paste in comment below For Smashwords:  Head

Question of the Day (January 9, 2012)

Okay! I worked my bottom off all weekend, trying to go back to Blogger's templates and then customize from there. Shadowing text, pictures, making my own comment system (I love it!) and then come to find out that Facebook's comment system was removed in the process and the comments which DID show, are no longer showing. Boo. I still see them in the moderator area, but that's it. Oh well. At least I've got things up and running properly now! It's a little interesting to have my comments notified when I'm on Facebook, then I just click the link and it takes me to the site. Fun though! I'm still adding a few things to the blog so if you log on and something is funky, give it time and I'm sure it'll fix itself.  Oh! And in case you haven't noticed my post on Facebook, (you can click the sidebar tab under "Smashwords") I have posted my book: AWAKENED: THE BEGINNING to Smashwords! Yay!  Answer here, or whatever service you're on
