Well...this does exist...

So much has happened since I "moved" to tumblr.

I guess I gave up on Death Inc. Got a few more rejections. Some helpful. Some not so much.

I finishes a second novel. My Nano Novel. Like with most other writers I find I like my second book much more than my first.

That was in 2010. It's 2012 now. I have a new job. I like it a lot...Still in insurance and all.

I guess the biggest thing that has happened to me is that I have started making nail polish.

Ha I know that you are probably wondering how one "makes" nail polish..well it takes a ton of work and research, but it can be done...and my shop has acutally been very successful. In fact I may be able to leave the insurance world and do nail polish full time (keeping my fingers crossed)

I haven't written full time in...well years. It's really sad to think about that.

I still want to be a writer.....and I will revisit my manuscripts one day...maybe sooner than later.

I would love to clean up my new Sci Fi and get it out to Agents again. This time though....I am going to take my time. I think I rushed into sending out Death Inc, and I don't want to do that again. Ever

I will try to keep this blog updated fairly often. Maybe with some writing here and there.

:)

Good Night World

To TUMBLR

Finally


I did it!!!!

It's Over!

I'm a winner :)

Finished on the 29th it was an awesome time and I will DEF be coming back for another round next year. Still need about 15k more for the story to be over but after 50k in 30 days it doesn't seem like much:)

Updates of a Busy Month!

Wow, I never thought that November could be this busy!

Tim and Eric, Harry Potter and 1667 words a day!

Right now I am 1 day behind on Nano. I did not have time to write yesterday since I was going to Harry Potter!!!!

As an aside I do love the movies, but they will never live up to the books. I think that's impossible. Being at the second to last Harry Potter movie however, made me a little sad. Harry has been a part of my life since I was 10 years old! I will be sad to say goodbye to the franchise next July. I hope by then there is another wonderful series for me to explore!

One could dream that by then I could have an agent and be on my way to publishing, but there is so much work to be done on both my series! Death Inc needs editing and polishing, and Skylark Assassins needs to be written!

Well I will get back to NaNo-ing :)

See you on the flip side of 50k

30k down 20k to go!

Last day of the first week of my first NaNoWriMo

Lol! That's a mouthful!

Today is Sunday! Did I mention that I LOVE the end of daylight savings time?! Well I do! Who doen't want to gain an hour of LIFE! :)

Anyway Nation Novel Writing Month is going GREAT! I am right on track to complete by the 30th. I am currently at 10100 words, and 4 chapters in.

This novel is a young adult Sci Fi, in the vein of The Hunger Games.

I have introduced almost all the characters now (there are only about 5 important ones in this novel.

Well that's about it for me ATM :) My boyfriend and I are going the the TIM & ERIC show tomorrow night! It will surely be a good time. We also already bought our tickets to HARRY POTTER and the Deathly Hallows part one!! We are going the Friday it opens!! WOO!

NaNoWriMo Begins!

I'm off to the Races!! The NANO Races that is. I am working hard at my 50k word in 30 days goal. Everything, including gaming, reading and photography is taking a back seat.

Good Luck to all the other NaNoWriMoers :) See you on the flip side!!
