Scenes I should have put in book 1

Scenes I should have put in book 1

I’ve decided I’d let Mack answer some small annoyances I come across every now and again, with a couple scenes that I guess I should have put in book one. This is the first one. if I have enough fun with it I may start doing more every couple of days. I’ve been kind of missing the boys lately. Read the rest of this entry

It’s Friday! (not that it really excites me)

It’s Friday! (not that it really excites me)

I was trying to think of things to write about here a little earlier. I found I was having a problem figuring out which way to go. I could go the normal way and give updates on how the new book is going and what movie stuff I’ve seen or heard about that interested me. From what I’ve heard all the Summer Read the rest of this entry

So I realized today that I haven’t put anything up here since cinco de Mayo and since it is now the end of de Mayo it seems like a very long time. I’ve been trying to stay very busy cranking out pages for the new book (which does NOT have a title yet) as well as take care of a couple of different family things.

I’m excited and nervous that I have to go on TV for my first interview at the end of June. I’m praying that it goes well and I think it probably will as long as I don’t fall flat on my face walking out.

Strangely enough, I have not seen Iron man 3 yet, but I’ve heard bad things about it. I did see Star Trek and thought it was great. I just watched the trailer for this movie and thought it looked right up my alley. Kind of really excited to see it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Yma-g4gTwlE

The twitterverse

The twitterverse

I’ve been trying to use social media more to get my name out there. Not sure if it’s working but I’m at just about 100 followers on Twitter and I think I may be addicted to it. Not because it’s awesome or a lot of fun by any stretch of the imagination. Mostly, because I get emails telling me someone new is following me or someone responded to something I wrote and that’s kind of exciting. I use Facebook as well but That’s old hat for me now . 🙂 I will say this about twitter the 140 is way too short for my long winded ass.

 

On another note I’ve had some really positive feed back on both books 1 and 2 lately. I’m positive I didn’t fix all the grammar issues with book 1 but I may have fixed enough that it’s not noticeable unless you’re looking for it. (please don’t go looking for it now, thanks) Got a nice four star review which was one line. To me that’s perfect. BAM I liked it a lot here 4 stars! Perfect review in my eyes. Also had a couple people tell me in person that they couldn’t put it down which was very nice to hear. Not sure if they’re saying it to be nice but it’s great to hear anyway, plus they finished it in like two days so they may have enjoyed it. 🙂

 

On an actual writing note I started jumping around a bit and began writing a part that I knew i wanted but didn’t know WHERE I wanted it. It seems to be turning out pretty well so far, I’m about 3000 words into that section so it’s coming along. I don’t usually write that way but I needed to slow down a bit and figure out where I was going with the main story so I figured writing this section might clear that up a bit. So far it hasn’t but the fog may be lifting a bit.

 

Just wanted to toss out a little update. Now back to work with me.

Hope you all had a great labor day weekend!
