New Series~

Hellooooooooooooo. :)

So, apparently my mind is going haywire these days. It can't decide what series to actually write. But that's okay, because I am trusting in God to let me know in His own timing. I don't know if I announced this or anything, but I had a series going for a little while. At first I had been so proud of it. All I had was a four-book series about four ladies in a town called Skyler Hut, Montana. For a long while, after writing about forty pages in two different pages, I got severe writer's block. So right now they are saved in my email drafts, because I really don't know what else to write in them yet. I was planning on making these books 224 pages, since that's the amount of pages the publisher I have in mind needs them to be in length. I wanted these books to be hilarious and very enjoyable. It's kind of hard when the dialogue doesn't spring out of your head so easily on paper like some authors are blessed with. I wish I could be more like that. Any ideas?
Well, until I decide what to do with that series, I decided to work on another series, or try to. So far it's been going pretty well. And you know with me having one more year of college and having such a busy life...whew. Between getting all that homework down through the already mush that is my brain, a writer such as myself needs to keep writing to keep myself alive, even if coffee won't do it haha.
So! I came up with a series of my own. You see, I don't know if you call it a blessed talent or a dark talent when you bring a Christian story, or stories, out like this. My first book of the decided series I already wrote, is about an escaped, angry convict kidnapping a woman because she'd witnessed him and his friends (also part of the series) in her hometown park. She later gets together with him, and the second book is years later when the second mean guy of the gang gets freed from prison to enjoy the start of his new-Christian life. Two more will follow. All these guys' names are Jack, Mack, (go ahead and laugh, but that's his nickname) Roland and Todd. Todd is the quiet guy who had lost his wife when she was mysteriously murdered. He'd gone to prison for killing the couple whom he'd thought had murdered his wife when it had really been someone else already in prison. Mack had killed his father and three other guys, and Roland had been a criminal all his life. Jack had killed two people he'd thought had murdered his sister, and in the first book they had all been on the run in this RV to help Jack kill the two guys who actually had.
Whew! Wish me luck, because so far it's been going pretty well. I hate writer's block, though, so I truly hope I won't have it again anytime soon. My plan is to write a half hour every day because of my busy weekdays. But since today is Saturday, haha, I will definitely write longer than that. Hopefully. Brain, please work today. Thank you.
Everybody have a great weekend!
Ta!! :)

Happy Birthday to Me~

Hey y'all, 

It's my birthday today, and you know what means? A somewhat boring day, and saying a million thank-yous to those wishing me a happy birthday. I enjoy that very much, and it makes the day a lot brighter, especially when it feels strange to be a year older. 

Right now I actually don't have any exciting book ideas. I'm just typing and re-editing books I've written years ago in notebooks. I'm eating lunch at work now, and it's a bag of Doritos Cool Ranch chips, a peanut butter sandwich on grain bread, a CapriSun Fruit Punch, and a Nature Valley Sweet and Salty Nut Almond bar. Fun, fun. Oh, and I'm getting my haircut today. Birthday haircut, birthday style. I'm thinking of getting it cut to an inch to a half an inch off my shoulders. I haven't had it that short in a while, and it might be fun to straighten every day. I'm cutting my bangs again, too, because I like my bangs. Plus, my hairdresser, when I called her the other day for an appointment, asked me to bring a copy of one of my books so she can read it, and I'm hoping the one I'm giving her will brighten her world. 

In the mean time, it'll be a normal birthday. I'm turning twenty-one today, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go to any parties or clubs. I'd rather the drinking age be 25 or 30, in my opinion. Turning twenty-one isn't that big of a deal to me, it's just a number. I matter incredibly too much to the Lord to even think of seriously drinking. Besides, I've seen problems with drinking happen with people before, and that is never going to happen to me. I will be darn sure of it. 

It's a busy week for my family, so we won't have our "birthday party" thing goings on until Wednesday evening. It doesn't really feel that exciting of a party, because I'm really not a kid anymore and shouldn't have any more parties like those. Should I? Send me your comments to tell me what you think, please. Anyway, Mom said she'll make me my birthday supper of homemade macaroni and cheese and fried chicken. My dad doesn't like mac and cheese, so we'll probably have to choose something extra for him. We'll also having chocolate cake, and whoop-dee-do. 

Thanks for any birthday wishes you may wish for me. I hope to have a great day! 

Ta for now!!
