Dark Illusions the name was born in 2012

Dark Illusions the name was born in 2012 – after it was published

I’m sure you’ve seen the “memories” that Facebook pops up in your face to share. This one just came up on my Timeline.

Sunday, February 12, 2012 at 5:23pm – Which Title grabs your attention?

Dark Dangers
Night Awaits
Soul Dangers
Unwilling Destiny
Shadows Calling
Secret’s Bound
Dark Illusions
Arisen

That is too funny. I published Dark Illusions at the end of 2011 and back then it was titled “Awakened: The Beginning.” I noticed too many authors who were publishing books with that title “Awakened” and wanted something different. I knew I couldn’t compete with established authors and didn’t want the same title as everyone else.

Dark Illusions was born shortly after that post! lol Granted, back then I was also under a different pen name, and then I changed it again (advice: don’t ever go that route – live and learn) just recently. For me personally it’s been a good choice, but changing a title or a pen name is like a reset button. You’re going to have to work doubly hard to get the attention back and say HEY, you who liked my books? I’m over here!!! That means: it is a lot of work. DON’T follow what I did.

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...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

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...
