No Blog Post This Week

 Sorry guys, I was unable to write the blog post for this week. Sorry. So, I hope that you will hang for the next installment until next week. Sorry guys. Migraines are a pain.

Let your imagination soar as you read

 Hi,

No new chapter today. Sorry. There will be one Wed. Sunday, the day I write my blog post, was my birthday, so I did not write. I spent the time with my family. So, I am going to take tomorrow to write the chapter for Wed. 

Oh, and an update on the books I'm working on. I am almost done on the revision on Marked One Caleb and Taylor (last book in that series). I also have a new series idea underway that I am very excited to work on. I think everyone will enjoy it. Until then, keep your eyes open for the release date for Marked Ones Caleb and Taylor. Not sure when it will be announced, but I hope to enter the edit phase by the end of the month, which means it won't be much longer.

Hope all is doing well and staying safe. Those who are able I hope you get the vaccine soon as you can. Take care of yourself and remember wear your mask when you go outside or around people other than those who live with you.

Let your imagination soar when you read.

Hi,

Won't be a story chapter today. I'm sort of having a writer's block. On this story as well as the one I'm revising. Sucks. But it happens. Until I can get over it, I'll flounder around like a fish out of water. Hopefully, it won't take long. Keep those fingers crossed that I'll have the next chapter of Life and Love Lesson up for you on Wed.

Sorry MIA

Sorry I've been MIA this week with the post. I've been super busy trying to get the NaNoWrMo words written and then the holiday came about faster than I expected. LOL. There's been lots of time with family, which is great, but left me with limited time.

So, I wanted to share with you the things I've been up to.

Christmas Tree 2017

Christmas Wreath 2017

Christmas Ornaments 2017

(Dad did those paint by numbers in the middle of the Christmas stuff.)

Today my goal is finish up the free write of Human-Skinned Wolves Book 7 and meet the 50,000 words goal for the month.

Wish me luck.

Ramble Day

This week I’ve been working hard on edits on another book. (Not mentioning title yet. Sorry.) I’m trying to get this one tidied up before the middle of October, so that I can start with a clean slate for NaNoWrMo 2017. I’m super excited about that. I’ve not had much time to do lots of free writing lately, because of trying to tie up some other novels that I have ready for revision and edits. Sometimes you have to just bite the bullet and do the parts you aren’t the fondest of. (Not that I mind doing those parts, it’s just not the funniest. In my opinion.) On the good side, this means there will be lots of books for me to finish up over the next year and publish for your enjoyment.

Mythical Creature - Elves

Elves play a major role among many areas of the gaming and Sci-Fy world. Most are well-know by their ears and beauty. But . . . are they always beautiful mythical creatures. I don’t think so.

To me when I think of elves I think of conniving and trickery. Those aspects can be produced in many glamourous images, but when it comes right down to it, those two traits are the ugliest aspects a person can have. So, do you truly think elves are beautiful mythical creatures, or are they only portraying such to lure us in?

Mythical Creature Ramble

There are lots of folklore and stories based around a mythical creature. Think about it hard enough you will see the logic behind them. Each have some kind of meaning, or can for each individual. What are some of the creatures that hold a specific meaning, or lesson, for you.

Mine is the Unicorn. It is peaceful as well as beautiful. There is something about seeing a photo or statue of one of these wonderful creatures. Soon as I do, my mind finds a state of calmness. A kind that gives me a blank slate. No rushing thoughts. No murmurs of the outside life. It renews me.

Let me know if you have a mythical creature that does this for you. Or something else that assist you in your life.

This is not only a wonderful saying that we each should take to heart and partake in, but it also a perfect photo to let your imagination soar and create something wonderful.

It seems as if I have been working on the revision of Collar of Truth, Human-Skinned Wolves Book 5 forever. In some sense, I have. Not because it was a hard story to complete, but because I have been doing this in-between completing my Certificate in Media Communication. Not to mention changing my lifestyle to one of healthy living. Even writers have to put their healthy first sometimes. Not easy trying to juggle so many things, but I will find a balance. 

Surprise, Surprise.

I love surprises. Who don’t. Specially, when they are something you’ve been looking for, for a long time. Four years ago, I found two of the House of Night graphic novels. I loved the book series and was sure I would love the graphic book. Problem was, when I found those two they were number 3 and 4, but I could not find the other books. The other day, I received a package in the mail and it was the entire Graphic Novel. Can’t wait to find a nice cozy place to curl up and get lost in the wonderful world of the graphic novel.

Too Many Ideas

This post goes out to all writers, or any kind of creative thinker.

Can you have too many ideas in your head at once? I

I took a headache that lasted for three days and did not fade until I wrote the layout for two more series. There were at least ten book ideas that came from my mind. As much as the pain nagged me, I kept pushing forward on logging the ideas. As each one hit the paper, my mind eased a notch. So, did I have too many ideas?

Don’t think so. I think too many can cause me pain and discomfort, but there is a way to rid those side-effects. Jot them down for a later point.
