Must share my excitment with the blogging world. For the first time ever, I participated in a bid on ebay......and i won! So now i am about to be the proud owner of a cute black real coach purse. I just fell in love with it. and forty dollars? Yes, sir, sign me up. I've had my last coach purse for a few years now and i wanted to change it up a bit. I've gone from being a shoe girl to a purse girl. and i love love coach.

And my house is completly moved around all ready and clean to have christmas decorations put up. I havent written in a few days. I needed to clear my mind.

My father had a near fatal heart attack...but he is going to be fine. Time to cut down on the ciggs, the eating not so good food and stop working so damn hard. All things i've tried to tell him all my life, lol. Connor was so sad with his grandfather not around as much. But he will be home this week (woo hoo!) and everything can attempt to resume to normal.

Which means writing as well. Hopefully.

And it's blisteringly cold which is lovely weather for warm butterbeer (a harry potter drink, i have an amazing recipie!)


Movie:N/A
Book: Just finished Wicked Lovely, By Melissa Marr
Music: holiday music channel stuff. Fun stuff!

short

Offically, Iam one of the many NaNo winners. I am so happy its over with, but on the flip side, I'll def. do it again next year. I was in such a bad writing slump, I had zero idea's other than ones stored away in my idea book but none that i felt truely passionate about. And then, Ava and Lucian's story came to me.

And i tend to use the same names in so many completly different stories, i cannot help it.

But Nano is done for me, I can focus on my Beta work, i can clean up my nano story titled "Dark Moon." Because it was awful. Really, silly, cheesy and awful. I need to literarly go through and re-write entire chapters, nix some chapters completly and give it an all over make over.

The only thing I dread about the after of the story is writing the query letter. Not a bit excited at all.


And....I was a huge Twilight fan. No, it wasnt meant for my age group, but it certainly made me feel like a teenage girl again. Yes, i bought the i love edward shirt off of hisgoldeneyes.com.
and yes...i couldnt wait for the movie to come out.

But then, Harry Potter got bumped to July and suddenly Twilight was having a midnight showing. I decided I, in no way, wanted to go and deal with all of the fangirls, screaming and shreikeing their way through a movie. So i'm going to wait a few weeks until its on a daytime showing, when all the little fan girls are busy in school, and go see it.

I thought the guy they had to play Edward is handsome--although his hair drives me crazy--I loved him as Cedric in the H.P movies. I still don't feel right about the girl they chose for Bella. I just can't get over that deep monotone voice. And i still picture her as that little kid from panic room who i couldnt tell if it was a boy or a girl.


But I guess I'll find out soon!

So last night was a pretty much another insomniac kinda evening, unable to sleep but i should have known after two regular sized monters and one x-large monster that it would happen. But something really awesome occured to me that made me feel reassured with my writing.

I was watching across the universe, possibly one of my favorite movies, and it was the scene with the song "strawberry fields forever." and i most certainly remember writing scenes to that song for my story, 'love story' and sometimes, when i think of certain novels i've written, i can actually remember being in the places i created...for love story, i remember being in the tea shop, the sweet shop, i remember being in the school or in the garden outside of the hospital.

When writing lonely creatures, i remember being in the classrooms, spending time in my charecters room.

and now im kinda messing around with a new story, and i feel like i've been in the hardware store, like i've been in the abandoned playground...its just so surreal sometimes, i love the places i've created in my mind and yeah....end crazy writers chat there.


When i finally did fall asleep, i had a crazy dream about a russian czar. it was beyond crazy.


Movie: Bram stokers 'dracula' (yes, with winonna ryder, i love this movie)
Music: Brighter than sunshine-aqualung
tv: n/a
books: still none!!


Only two days left until Nanowrimo!! yay!

I must resist the notebook. Any temptation to write, now that my writers block has passed, is to be ignored. I see my lap top, my new notebook, new pen, all beckoning me. Instead i settled on a small little outline of sorts--with names and places only (i swear). But i'm really excited to get this project started because A) I'll be able to dwell once more in the world with werewolves, and b) because i think theres a small possibility i'll be able to make more than one book out of this--something i've never done before.

And i'm officially done with decorating for Halloween, looks very neat. Although i need to go buy another pumpkin--who knew a carved pumpkin would get eaten by bugs outside?? I've never had that happen before but i guess Texas is warmer in Oct than it was in Maine.

I'm in a real slump for reading material, i'm not sure what i'm in the mood for--maybe something paranormal-ish, or straight horror. Its that time of year, so why not.

We finally watched 'the strangers', connor included, and it was so/so. I mean, for a horror movie it was a bit of a let down, semi-scary, but what made it scary was actually putting yourself in the situation and BAM...suddenly scary. And, through blockbuster online, i have the entire friday the 13th coming my way, so excited. and i saw the preview for the brand new friday the 13 coming out on...feb. 13(friday the 13), and it actually looks scary--where as the halloween remake sucked, and i typically hate remakes.

I think this blog is another way of avoiding writing at all costs. we have like, what, five and a half days? Fantastic.

Books-n/a...anygood suggestions?
Music- Time of the season--Snowden
Writing-not yet!
Movies: Monster house

I Do, however, have a small idea for NaNo, and i'm not sure yet how to um, expand on that idea, but we shall see. I dont want to go too far into it, because i want to wait until Nov.1st to really develop it!

So today there has been a friday the 13th series on sci-fi, but why have i never heard of these before? they are obviously old. Why do they rip off the movie's name if they have nothing to do with them?

Books: Nick and Norah's infinite playlist (love it!)

Movies: N/a

Tv show: Tyra banks (god i dispise this show, but yet i still watch it and yell at the screen)

Music: N/A

So i sent a query letter to InkWell Management on Monday evening, i've wanted to for a long while but i was dragging my feet unsure if they would want my work (i am my harshest critic, of course) and tuesday afternoon i recieved my third request for a partial. SO i have three partials out there and i am crossing fingers and toes praying and waiting. I am excited that i've come this far with my query....which was by no means easy to write. it probably took me a few months to tweak the query. ANYHOW.

I am stuck in-between stories. I have ZERO ideas in my head floating around. Of course i have a notebook filled with ideas to write about, but i have no umpf or passion for any of those stories right this moment. I hate writers block. I need to get past this.

And it's october, lovely wonderful start to fall--i love fall. I love Halloween. Today I made candy apples and chocolate chip cookies. Delicious. And my lovely friend stephanie made me a "twilight" pie, which is actually fresh strawberries and whip cream, so good. Connor had a fun playdate with her son Kenyon yesterday, they were so busy and loud and just exhausted each other right out.

I really should get some cleaning done, i cannot believe its four already, today is flying right by.


Movies: none
Music: little red riding hood--rolling stones
Books: Nick and Norah's infinet playlist

So, as i've admitted before--i've only ever gotten one request, and it was for a partial for my new ya novel, "Lonely Creatures". Well, last night, on a whim after reading a thread on Bradford lit, i remembered them well from rejecting my "love Story", i sent them a query for LC. Guess what? Today, i recieved a partial request for the first thirty pages, a synopsis by mail. I'm very nervous, very excited. She said it seemed intreging and that she looked forward to reading my submission, ohhh how my week has been made.

Tomorrow i am going to get my hair cut and styled, a treat to myself after the yuck hurricane.

Movies: Love in the time of Chloria (sure, i'm probably spelling that wrong)
Music: none
Book: Nothing at the moment. in between books.
