February For Looovvvvee!!! ~

Hey, y'all,

So!! It's been a real busy month, so very little time for writing. Although, I have written a poem that I would like to share with all of you, but I can't because the copy/paste thing is not working so well right now. It's called "There's Literature In All of Us." Why did I write this? Because when I graduate from college this May (yikes!!) I will be seeing a whole new brand of literature. Anyway, lately, I've been trying to figure out on if I should write the book (still) called "For Better or for Worse." It certainly sounds like an interesting book, doesn't it? Why, yes, it does, but today I was looking over some past novels that I've written and I realized that the excited and thrilled spark of love I had when I wrote them isn't as much there when I think about writing this book, or the two books I have still yet to finish (very slow going, unfortunately). When you write or read a really good book, there should be that magnificent thrill you have. It should be there and stay there every time you read or write something totally awesome.
If it's not there, what's the point? If there is a point, it's only the need to get it out of your head. Sometimes that's all right, and sometimes, it is not all right.
Right now, lately, I'm trying to figure out which one it is. With God's help, of course.
So anyway, enjoy the poem. February is a month of love, so maybe I'll get blessed with finally having my love for reading and writing grow as much as it had before. Wish me the best in that!!
Until we meet again, read, write, love, and love God with all of your hearts!! Be blessed!! :D
Ta!! TTYL!! :D

May Day~

Hey, y'all!!

Did I mention my new book? In the past month, I've gone through exactly three or four book ideas, getting serious about each one, until finally finding a book idea that would work and in which I can spend time writing. It's called, "Living On A Prayer." I know it's a song, so that's why I got the title idea from playing Guitar Hero. (I'm ten times better on the drums than the guitar any day.) I got the story idea partly from watching an episode from, "Wizards of Waverly Place." I know, I'm a serious sucker for Disney shows, movies, anything Disney, really. I'm a Disney freak.

But anyway, this book is about a high school couple who fight so much, hating each other's guts so much to the point that one day they realize that they don't hate each other at all. They're in love with each other. Cool, huh? I'm trying to make the first main character, Damian, extremely annoying, so ridiculously annoying that even the readers might hate him. And then there's Sarah, who at first is far more crazy about driving him up the wall than ever having anything to do with him. But once they finally get together, Sarah mysteriously disappears when her suddenly alcoholic dad goes crazy. I cut this part from a previous book I'd wanted to write and don't want to anymore. I just wait for the good Lord to give me great book ideas. While I write the books, I think about how it would go in my head if there was a movie version of it. Who knows. Maybe every one of my books will get to be in a movie someday. Only God knows if that will happen.

But anyways again, when Sarah disappears, after two whole months of waiting for an answer, two whole months where Damian becomes a completely different person with waiting for the police to find her, he decides to find her for himself. That journey brings them both on an inspirationally, emotional, and hopefully unforgettable journey. Not to be too corny about it, but the show must go on. The good Lord gave me this gift, and I'm eternally grateful for it. :D

It's finally May, though!! Everybody enjoy the spring weather! It's raining where I live right now. :)

TTYL and Ta!! :)
