Wowee!
It’s December, start shopping yet?
I did, but there never seem to be enough hours in the day for me to get all of my work done without drowning in the stress.
No, I unfortunately haven’t written anything yet…I’m working on marketing and the business end of my books. Yes, I’m still editing my second book, but you know, there’s a ton of stuff that I still need to do.
That’s the story of my life, still need more time…..
Working working working.

I tell ya, it’s hard to write when teachers are always giving you homework to do!
I’m always working, working, working, doing boring analytical thinking and writing.
This is right before Thanksgiving too!
So when I literally have five minutes to myself, I post or update something somewhere.
Thanks so much for reading!

Well hi there, those of you that visit!
I’m pleased to say that even with my busy scheduole, I have been editing my second manuscript! I’m almost half-way done with my first editing pass. I’ll probably edit it 2 more times…
Then I’ll publish, it sounds pretty strange that I’ll edit 3 times, but when I go around editing the first time, I totally rip up my mansuscript.
Working hard.

Hi there!
I spent hours writing yesterday, I am so thrilled! Yesterday, I wrote a play, one that was inspired by A Doll’s House.
Play writing is easy and hard at the same time. One has to visualize what is going on as well as keep the exchanges short, short enough that the viewer knows what’s going on yet, not write a whole novel.
It is like writing the short story or a haiku, it’s an incredible experience of liberation, yet one has to control himself/herself.
Writing is the easiest hardest task I set out to do.

Friday the 13th!
Let your imagination run wild! What mystical things are happening today? Does the weather inspire you? What about what you read? Let the muse take you today!

You the worst thing about getting sick? You can’t get any work done!
I’ve been so under the weather that I couldn’t even write! Oh sweet gods, these past few days have been utterly unbearable! The agony of it all!

Wow!
It’s November already! I can’t believe how quickly time is moving! On Halloween, there was no one around, no trick-or-treaters! This is most unfortunate! I made my costume this year!
As per my writing, hmm….it could be better. I don’t have much homework today so I will try my best to write a bit. I have finished all the background (exposition?) and now my story is ready to begin!
Thanks for reading.

Among preparing for the scariest holiday of the year, wrapping up the first quarter of school, and marketing. I find that there is little time to write.
However when I do, I focus completely on what I am doing. I find that it helps so much because I actually get to write. I know it sounds weird, but it is amazing how much I can get done without multitasking.
Also, I like so share a bit of my work with my friends, the close friends that I can trust. They give me awesome advice, you know if I am not telling all the juicy details or what to scrap.
Thanks for reading.

Hi there, hello there, how are you?
Halloween is just around the corner and teachers are feeling it too! This means for me, little homework to do! Oh yeah! I rhymed!
So, here’s the deal-e-o. I managed to get half an hour of writing in today! Isn’t that grand!
Also, two people bought my book! YAY! No onto marketing strategies. Do I have any? Yes, is it working yet, nope, but I still have hope.
Thanks for checking in!

Hi there,
It seems that I am too busy to come over here, but that is not the case! I found time today to post a little something! Right now, I am writing a ton of press releases to various newspapers and online PR sites (OpenPR, Clickpress, Pressbox…..).
That’s my report so far.
I’ll keep ya posted.

Here I thought that with school starting and no work I could have time to write and update my blog! But NNNNOOOOOOOO!!! I have AP Bio taking up my life, usually leaving me awake until midnight just doing homework, forget about studying. However….the writing club at school is starting up again so I will be writing with short prompts. Does anyone use prompts???
Thanks for reading.

The summer really kills! I am working, working, working, and the worst part is that I never get a chance to relax to check my e-mail every day! It is more like every week and a half. I wrote an entry in the Chronicle of Inaya, that is something I have to finish. It’s good that friday is my last day of working this summer so I can actually finish something! Oh! I almost forgot! I started Tae Kwon Do, something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, so I am really psyched about that!
As per publishing, I sent in the edited interior galley, and I am praying that by the end of the month, The Assignment will be in print!
Thank you for your patience and putting up with me! I appreciate it!

I’ve been writing, I promise! I wrote a college essay today! Ha! Beat that! Seriously…..it’s kinda sad, but it doesn’t really matter, because I am busy at work….trying not to look like I’m falling asleep. I don’t want to get caught writing you know. I still have to finish the NNA Chronicles. I finished Zephyr’s, but I still need to finish Inaya, Starlynn, and the NNA. It’s a bit of a tall order, but I’ll get it done and finally start working on the dream snatchers, once I’m done with Halloween costumes of course…….
Thanks for reading.
