Chat with other fans, friends, and family.

I've been trying to think of a way to bring all of us together. Some place that wasn't Facebook because not everyone is on there, not everyone is on G+, and for me personally, it gets really difficult to deal with a bunch of different sites, only to lose time better spent on my books. As you'd like, and I would too.

Honestly it's also a matter of being tired of abiding by the social sites rules, versus my own. I would like you to have the freedom to chat with me and other people, not just when I post something. I may end up spending more time in the Forum/Message Board (whichever you like to call it, haha) than most social sites too.

I cleaned up my Forum/Message Board and would love for you to come by. Introduce yourself, start posts, threads, whatever you'd like. I'd love for you to share with me images that you've come across that perhaps have made you think about one of the books. Or videos that have done the same. Discuss what you think is going to happen in the upcoming books in whatever series I write, and simply enjoy yourself.

Share about your day, too. It's not just about me. If you're venturing into writing or have, you're more than welcome to share things with me and everyone else.

If you're interested in asking me questions about the books, you can too.

The forum that I use has recently gone through an upgrade so here are some of the fun things you can do.

  • Post status messages. They show up in your mini profile so when you post a message, or start a discussion thread, they will show up under your name.
  • Make friends. Find others you'd like to keep track of even closer? Well then you can add each other as a friend. Post comments to each others profiles, that have nothing to do with the group.
  • Private Messages. You can message each other without it being public.
  • Customize your profiles. Signatures, notifications, and even who can see your profile. 
  • I believe you can even @ people and it will link them up. Notify them, I'm not sure. I haven't found much information. I think they just make it easier so you don't have to add the person's name when you reply. There is a small icon in the top right area of the box you type in that has an @ symbol and then a little icon of a person. That's the button for that. Type in their username and then a box of choices pop up for you to click on.
  • Right next to the above button is a Spoiler button. You can click on that one to create a spoiler for posts. If you discuss a scene in one of my books, it would be a good idea to highlight the words and click that button so that they are hidden. Then if someone hasn't read the full book yet, it's their choice to see that and it's not BOOM, right in their face. :) 
  • There is a mobile app! It works great for my Droid. Love it. You can find it under the istore or Google play (name: Proboards).

If you're interested in the fun stuff above, and MORE, I would love for you to come by the Forum/Message board - www.arianabrowning.proboards.com and say hi!

Come start a discussion about Dark Illusions: The Beginning here: http://arianabrowning.proboards.com/board/50/dark-illusions-series

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....
