Reading List

It's 10pm. My son is asleep and my husband is at work. So, what am I doing? I've been reading.
Now it's time for me to to get into the writing mode. I was going to go to sleep but my brain seems to have awaken now that it's getting late.
So, what am I reading?
Why, Kristen Ashley of course! I'm currently on Lacybourne Manor. It's pretty good but I've still got a bit to go. I think however, I prefer her Rock Chick series, Mountain Man series, Colorado series and so on. I'm still not big on paranormal. She does however have a fan-freakin-tastic writing style that I just can't give up.

I'm trying to figure out what I want to read next. I do NOT want to read a book that is short. Oh! On this thought, this is another point for KA; her book tend to be longer. I LOVE this fact!

OK! So, anybody know a good editor? One that isn't waaaaayyyyy expensive? I've been doing my best but... well, I want my book to be well put together and I want success. This means I will have to do all that I can in order for it to be as good as it can be.
ALSO, how can I market this thing?
Ideas??? Anyone??

Click, click, click

mic check.

I'll do my best to write something a little more fantastic next time. Right now I'm dead on my feet and I have lots to write..

I don't know a good title...mostly RAnDoM

I have been reading, like A LOT!
YeS! A LOT!
I've been trying to write but within the last week I've been kinda...slow about it. This sucks.
I want to get this book finished mostly to get it out of my head. But I also want to do a good job and write something people will like. So there are flips sides to the coin. There always is I suppose.
My most recent excursion has been through Kristen Ashley's Fantasyland series. Wildest Dreams, The Golden Dynasty and Fantastical. 
I'm not big on otherworldly things and crazy stuff like vampires and werewolves but thankfully this doesn't have those but it does take place in another world with witches, curses, a place where birds speak and crazy things happen.
That said, I freakin LOVED these books!
I have officially read Thirty (30) - yes THIRTY of Kristen Ashley's books. I'm thinking I need to open my mind to her other books. And I am going to. I'm a little nervous to open my mind up to the genies, vampires, werewolves, ghosts and such BUT I'm going to do it! Then she has more she is releasing soon, therefore I'll get my KA fix soon enough without all the crazy shizz happening.

Anyhow if you haven't, please go over and check out my prologue and Chapter 1 of Surviving on Fiction Press. I need reviews badly. Someone needs to tell me if my writing is halfway decent.

It's a rainy day

A rainy day...

It's a day...that is rainy. 
My son doesn't understand that we can't play outside on this rainy day...
I don't understand why I can't get any work done. I have no point to this particular blog, besides the fact that I want to write. Write out crazy thoughts that have no meaning. I feel like being silly and lazy and productive all at once and it is not very conducive to getting ANYTHING done. 
I have looked at some choices for my book cover. I saw something I liked but NOT quite perfect yet. I want it to be perfect. Although I really shouldn't be tooooooo crazy about it. I tend to be a perfectionist. 

In my book I have gone over one chapter about a million times just to make sure I what I said and how I said it and what I did not say. I know I'm crazy. 

Can I be a mechanic when I grow up? I know random thought. But seriously, we should all be mechanics...we all have cars...and they all mess up...and none of us ever have the money to fix these dang cars...

okay enough about that. 
Can I take a nap on this rainy day? OH wait! I can't I have to leave for work...my real work.......soon. 
What do I do? 
Well, that is for me to know and for you to...
