Well Happy New Year!
I've been super busy with school and work and haven't had much time to write.
The book isn't nearly close to being finished, but I do love everything I have so far.
SO there is no timeline, I'm just going with it.
The cover will be produced next month so I'm hoping that will kick my butt into gear.
I've been writing on my iPad like a madwoman lately as well so we're definitely getting somewhere!
I have to admit, I probably read way to much which is my downfall to writing.
BUT no one has written what I'm writing and in the process, I have 3 more book ideas crammed into my head so I loose track and have more notes on my iPad on various stories than I can count.
I'm having so much fun though and I can't wait to share them with you!
Hopefully whoever reads this is patient with me :)

Snow Day
SO I must admit I LOVE Snow Days, but I mean who doesn't? So that means I'm typing away at my favorite place in the world; Barnes & Noble, literally my home away from home.
The book writing process if just flowing out of my fingers lately and I'm a whirlwind of ideas!
Side note - Everytime I post, I get a comment from myself on it saying exactly what I said in my blog .. weird. I still haven't figured this out.
That's all for now! Holidays have put a little bit of a hold on writing, but that also means thats classes are ending (this week) so I can write more!

hi everyone :)
So sorry I have been MIA for the past 10 days. I had started a post a few days ago and the just never sent it, and well no it's irrelevant. I am very excited for this book and I'm loving every second of writing it.
I completely scrapped the first draft because I had no clue where I was going with it and it stopped making sense. This new one though I am in love with and it's just flowing out of me like there's no tomorrow.
This week is crazy busy between work and the holidays and well being your typical 21 year old. I will be writing as much as possible, gotta love the nanny life! I have ample writing time while they're busy playing and doing homework!
My goal is to get 10,000 words don't by the end of this week which I will definitely do. My first draft was over 10,000 and that took me maybe three days total to write, so hopefully I can do the same with this, just make it a million times better.
February is quickly approaching, I hope to have the majority done by New Years that way I can lock down in editing mode as well as Beta-readers, getting it out to be reviewed prior to release date, and to get some solid advertising in !
Hope you all check it out when it's finally released!

Two books?
I have ideas running through my head like you would not believe
I have TWO, yes two stories mulling in my head right now … if only they could meld into one, but they cannot be.
So here I go sitting at the coffee shop writing what I hope will be an amazing book for everyone to read! I cannot wait for my first book to be released. Go figure I haven't decided on a name foe that book, but I do have a name for my second book which I love.
I can't thoroughly grasp the correct word for my first novel, but when I do I'll know
Happy writing to all and I cannot wait to share!
Excerpts to come shortly :)

Title Issues
This is the worst I just can't get a fitting title since well the characters took me somewhere completely different from where I had originally intended. I absolutely love the new direction of the book and I'm super excited to be charing them with you, I'm just struggling with a title.
I realize most people also don't talk about a book months in advance, but this is a new experience for me and well I like letting whoever wants to read this where I am with my progress! I can't wait to share this story with you, and please be patient with me !

NaNoWriMo?
To get involved in National Novel Writing Month or not to get involved, that is the question.
Hmm, I mean it would be a great way to give myself a deadline for getting at least 50,000+ words in by the time November is up, but I really don't understand how to use it so that could be a problem. Plus if I don't get it done on time I'm gonna be upset with myself ! I have almost 5,500 words complete and a conundrum or editing to accomplish before my deadline of January 1st
That is how long I'm giving myself, in which I hope to have the novel done and have the first round of editing done before I send it out to Beta readers. (Early February) while the book cover is being complete. Then I will take in all the criticism and critique and tweak the story to fit what my readers believe will help me produce an amazing story! It will be on sale Early March 2014.
I know a lot of good authors are publishing novels around that time, so I will be doing heavy research not to have my release on the same day as theirs because well you're more likely to go for a novel where you've already read what that author can produce then going for a no name author.
Anyhow, midterms are calling my names as well as my Dunkin Donuts coffee. It's going to be a very looonnnnggg night. I am hoping to accomplish some more writing tonight hopefully break 6,500 words.
