Story of the Year

This is probably my favorite New Year quote because I am a writer and so to see the New Year as the next "book" of my life is so great. 2015 is the new book your writing. Do something new and exciting. There will probably be lots of twists and turns and some of those things may not be good but by the time this year disappeared you will have a whole bunch of new memories. New chapters. Good and bad. So, get out of there and write a good one.   Plus it snowed! Last night as the snow came down it looked like the sky was raining glitter and it was beautiful. Everything is all white and sparkly.   What do you think of this quote and has it snowed wherever you are yet?  

1 Peter 5:7

Give God all of your fear and anxiety. Cast it all on him and he will take it and help you and comfort you. If your having a bad day or week just look at this verse and know that God is with you always.  Have a great week everyone!  

2015 Goals!

  Sorry this post is so late today! I totally spaced! Anyways this year I have a few goals that I hope to meet. 2015 is a big year for me. I'm starting college, I'm working on revising the second book in my series, and plan on writing the fourth and final book that snuck up on me. And I plan to get the first book in the series published this year. I am praying for guidance and I'm just getting started on the road to publication. I know that it will be hard but I have my hopes high. So I guess my New Year Goals are these: Get through my first semester of college. Finish revising Windstar Write the fourth book Get Stargazer edited professionally (if only because of the fact that my grammar is atrocious) Get a literary agent Get Stargazer published That's all. No big deal... just starting college (which is super scary!) and getting published... Piece of cake right?   What are you're 2015 goals if you've got any? Have a great we...

The Many Plots of 2014

First of all, Happy New Year!!! Hope everyone has a great time celebrating the new year.   Book 1: The Young Elites by Marie Lu: And here is the back cover blurb:  Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites. Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to de...

Writing is Reading Insideout

I found this quote and thought it was very intriguing. When you read you're enjoying some else's work and just soaking everything up. Whereas when you're writing it's the complete opposite. Instead of soaking everything up you're letting everything leak out. Instead of reading someone else's creation, you're making your own.  What do you think of this quote? :)

Good Books Never End

I believe in this quote whole heartedly. If it's a good book and you love it then it will never end. Like the Percy Jackson Series for me (the first one). Those characters will never leave me and there will always be different endings popping up in my head. What are your favorite books?  

1 Peter 2:21

Jesus gave us an example to follow. He was kind, gentle, caring, strong, wise, and understanding along with many, many other things. We need to strive to be more like Him every day. Of course we aren't perfect but we can attempt to be more like Him.   Happy Monday!
