Weekend Writing Sat-Sun (May 18th - 19th) Tag #wwab to join in.

Furthest two behind are Book Five of the Sorceress Series (63,621 words) and Hope of the Future (65,582 words). Now I can dive into the Sorceress book like I've been wanting to since I last left her. Had so many ideas and they are still fresh and anxious to go since I stuck with working on the others. It's been two weeks since I worked in it, last week was the other two, so that shows how long the craving can last! haha

If you would like to join in, and have others check you out, tag your posts #wwab and include link in area below. As long as you tag your post and share with #wwab, I don't care if it has to do with book writing, or just blogs.

Also wanted to let you that I updated the Always Consequences Official Page. The book is officially into Kindle's KDP Select awesome program for 90 days. If you're interested in keeping up with the free download days, you can click the link above in the navigation bar, or: http://www.arianabrowning.com/2013/03/always-consequences-official-page.html

Sunday Updates:

HOPE OF THE FUTURE

Okay, I did add a wee bit more this morning to Sorceress Series Book Five. Late so technically it's afternoon. Total for this weekend on this one 7,889 words. And the entire story is 71,333 words leaving it at.
Total to start: 65,582 words.
727 words lunch
2838 words
Insight into writing: Having to switch gears with this. Since this is a story I'm rewriting and combining with another story, I could end up with a massive word count. Reached a place where I don't truly need the entire chapter or two that describes my characters stay in this one place (don't want to giveaway anything) so I am going to condense it down into a paragraph or two. It will be telling--I know editors hate that--but it's either that, or proceed to have 10-20 potential pages of something a reader--like me--would skip. The characters in this part are not fundamental to the entire plot. The place isn't. Nothing really that goes on until the end, is of any matter. At all. It'd be like describing someone using the bathroom. You don't really need to say they brushed their teeth, washed their hands, whatever. I think we all pretty much know what goes on in there. Will cut down on my word count for the day, but I'm okay with that. In the end, this story doesn't need it and my mom is also needing me a lot so I won't be getting much done anyway.
4273 words
4880 words
Had to stop last night because my eyes were incredibly swollen and sore (like I hadn't slept in days feeling) so I didn't get anymore, but total word count was 4,880 and the entire book was left off at 70, 464

See you next weekend.

Ladies and Gentlemen….

Normally, right about now, I would feel inclined to continue with “and children of all ages” (guess I’ve been to the circus just one time too many) but this time instead of introducing some dancing bears or the Flying Wallendas, I’m simply here to introduce myself. My name is Tracie Dee . I’ve been writing for about 4 years now and got my start blogging on MySpace. I love writing but these days, I’m also finding enjoyment with vlogging. I have found that videos are a nice way to share what words alone might not give justice to and also for people to really get to know the person behind the words and the keyboard. Overall, I consider myself to be a pretty down to earth and upbeat person, whose sense of humor can be a bit wacky at times. Hey, life can be rough and sometimes laughter and levity can be our only saving grace to help us get through it all. I consider it to be our very own little light at the end of the tunnel that serves to remind us that even during the very worst

Bucket Lists

"Its never too late to be what you might have been" – George Eliot I’ve been a late bloomer in pretty much every aspect of my life. Some of it was out of my control (I mean I really couldn’t help if Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor and exercised it heavily on me during my teens and twenties) but I can’t put all of the blame for it on her, either. Some of it was also by my personal choice. And by that, I mean I used to be very shy and afraid of “what was out there” in the big, scary world so I would rarely try anything new or took any chances of any kind. I chose instead to do my best to hide away from life, tucking myself away from it safely like a tight little rosebud that had not yet bloomed. But there is a quote that says “And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This was the case for me. As time went on, my rosebud shell grew more and more uncomfortable for me. So one day I just took a c

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's GBE is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me. That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even. She said: "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life." Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works. A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w
