Something’s gooonnna happen

Official---Anora

Good word count today. I’m happy that I boosted myself back up. Last week wasn’t as fun in how many words I got. One of the drawbacks of writing about the word count every day, I end up letting my own mind get sucked into that realm of I have to hit a certain number so I can keep up the word count publicly. Rather a stupid thing in the mind if you think about it. But it’s something that will worm its way in there and suddenly you’re all . . . oh great.

Either way, back up there, and that makes me happy.

We’re gonna see some action this week in the story. I think Anora is about to find out what she is capable of.

It’s been really nice today (80’s) so I’ve been getting some much needed yard work done (weeding), which is another one of those projects that just . . . not sure. Makes my mind settle down, and things work out better when I think about them.

Over the weekend, I took some time to play with some of the notes Jeanie gave me about Daughter of the Red Planet and I had a wonderful epiphany. There was an idea that I was playing around with. She didn’t think it was great at first, but after reading the book, she agreed that it may be good. Well . . . then I played with her thoughts with that idea, and mine too. I printed out her notes and there was this one sentence. I think it was something along the lines of “follow her” that my mind shifted and went, no, not follow. Hunted.

Then it became hold on for the ride.

The creative brain took over and the idea took off. I will be sharing what I discovered in my next newsletter first before I share it here. Gots a lot of updates to do at this point, thanks to that idea! Love it.

It is also looking like my original plan for Daughter of the Red Planet to be a Science Fiction Horror-ish, will change into it being more of a Science Fiction Fantasy-ish. It even fits into the realm of being Space Opera. Never would’ve thunk that. (Pairing something I do with Space Opera.)

I also uploaded a new video of Kona harassing me, haha.

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
