Among all those celebrity and random birthdays out in the world today, I say happy birthday to everyone. And I'm saying this because it's also my birthday too. ^_^ I'm so excited. I have a really good feeling about today. But to be precise, it won't be my birthday until 9:10pm Bolivia Time, which here in town would be 7:10pm. Can you guess what time zone I'm in? The reason I say Bolivia Time is because that's where I was born. But the back story to that is pretty personal. I don't feel comfortable telling that to the world, even though it's already mentioned in a Woodbine House book.

I am full nervous this month. I originally thought I could work on the survival/prophecy book and the mermaid sequel book for the NaNo. But I'm already done with the sequel and am on the verge of finishing the survival one. Friday morning, I had an interesting dream where I was writing the ending of a book and the events of that ending were actually happening as I wrote it. Very cool dream, right? The moment before I woke up, I realized I could use this as my NaNoWriMo book. It's a loose topic though. I don't know any exact details of the story and I am now realizing there are plenty of books and movies similar to it. I don't know what to do. I mean, there may be some adventures left for the mermaid, but what would those be? I suppose there is one or two adventure left for the survival book as well. I'm already attempting at one book series and failing miserably. Why should I try three more when I don't know how to complete the first series? I'm seriously ...

Half way through October and I have only posted one thing... well, f***! Lol. (And seriously, that's how I wanted to start the blog. Haha!) Anyways, a lot has been happening. If I haven't mentioned it in my last blog, I have my own radio show now. It's not on any channels; it's actually a site: BlogTalkRadio. (Dot)com, of course, and in the search engine, type in te243. Yes, it's a shorter name from my YouTube name. I've had the show for about two and a half weeks. I air on Mondays and Tuesdays, 3pm central. Up until Thursday, I had no idea what my radio name should be. Now I know - and you'll have to tune in this Monday to find out. Ha! See what I did there? You're curious, aren't you? I've been having a lot of fun on YouTube, actually. You know, reading aloud one of Ellen Raskin's popular books: The Westing Game. I do remember posting a blog about it on here. And I do hope you are watching every video I upload of it. If it looks like I...

My memory has been fuzzy to me for the past few years; mainly because I watch too much on the internet and TV. I will do my best to tell a fun Halloween memory. If I'm general about anything though, I do apologize. I remember last year's Halloween. I dressed as Nancy Drew with a green trench coat, white ascot, white shirt... and forgot what kind of pants I wore, haha. I had a lot of fun with the outfit. I rented the outfit for a week, so got to I wear the trench coat to work one day. One of my co-workers loved it, and some of them teased me. I especially did research on ascots. I wanted to make sure I wore the right kind, but none of the lady's styles I could do or were too fancy for me. I just chose a man's style, the kind Fred wore in the Scooby Doo gang. There's an event that happens every november called NaNoWriMo and my region had a meeting where it was requested to where a Halloween costume. Almost everyone had to ask me who I was. Craig thought I was...

I love Nick Pitera. He's such a talented man. Now I can see how he got so famous so quickly. He's an animator at Pixar, which is basically owned by Disney. ^_^ I'm so glad he's this awesome.

Earlier today on Facebook, I made an open-mouthed status. Something I probably shouldn't have plastered. Though this connects to the entirety of the world as well, I don't know where else to put it. " I just have so many frustrations and yet for the life of me, I don't see any. I know I may seem like a happy, crazy, and deluded woman, but in some ways, I am so not. "No one is perfect." That's a phrase used way too many times. I know I'm not perfect. And there will be times where saying this will be tiring and tedious but... I'm tired of being weak, being strong, putting barriers, not putting barriers, being gullible. I'm just tired of it all. The question is... what the hell am I doing?" I just finished a movie called Girl In Progress. It's coming-of-age and realization movies that really get to me. Watching this film tonight made me realize something. I'm still in that coming-of-age process. Yes, I know I have respon...

So we, Columbia Missouri Novelists group, got together yesterday.  Liz Schulte  hosted the meeting as kind of a "how to" thing. She taught us how she outlines her books, with colored post-it notes. I wrote them all down in my notes. It's actually a great idea; I just wish I actually like outlining. >.> Of course, these are just ideally. You can change the colors or the label of each one if you want. Orange - plot Green - location Blue - hero Light blue - hero's back story Pink - heroine Light pink - heroine's back story Odd shade of turquoise - third person Teal - third person's back story Purple - villain (three-dimensional, if needed) Hot pink - sexual/emotional ((My favorite; cause emotions are needed in a book.)) Yellow - world building Coral - series White - what's the point in the scene? Questions that come up after so much plotting Misc., character, character, character (^The direct above is just an example. You'll have...
