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.

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...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
