Hey Lovelies!
I don't know about you, but I keep a mental list of what needs to get done. Not a real set in stone list at times, in additional at times can cause more stress then an actual hand written list! I'm a pro at adding un-needed stress to myself. Well there were a few things I wanted to get done during the summer, didn't really successed at some of that, oops! Well onto the bad news I start classes on the 30th (next week!) crazy too soon if you ask me!
Things that were done for the writing world! End of the Line, I finished going through it, waiting for Sam to finish editing it. And Amy and I have decided it was best to have a fall background for the cover so we are going to have fun with that! New author picture! Made the Book Trailer for Family Ties. Finished and sent in the short story for the Charity contest, waiting to hear if my story was accepted. Got a few stories outlined well my verison of outlining. Finished writing the end of Pirates part 2, and having a friend start reading it before I submit it to BCP publishing! Started the rewriting of Project US and hoping to get that done before or almost all of it done before classes start up. I really want to get that trilogy done before considering publishing it. The second just needs to be revised a little, and well the 3rd only has 2 chapters done and notes written on how I want to end it! Seriously wish I could spend more time writing, but we'll see what the semester holds!

What's going on!
Hey Lovelies!
I'm terribly sorry that it has been almost a week since I have updated! I know I keep saying I'll do better! I figured I would share what is going on in Ottilie's writing world. I figured I'd start a behind the scenes type entry for my books. I'll do one for Family Ties probably this weekend, I'll share tid bits on what I was thinking while writing it and little fun facts about it, I hope this makes up for not writing in awhile! When End of the Line gets closer to being re-released I'll do one for that story and so on! Hopefully everyone will enjoy them!
I am actually almost done writing the end of Pirates!! I can't believe that this is almost done, my baby is growing up! I know that sounds a little crazy, bare with me. I'll be doing revisions for it this summer, the end will probably be finished this week, hopefully by tomorrow! While the revisions are going on, I'll be working on Project US, Runaway, Beaker to Life, and the short story for the charity! Curious if after the revisions if Pirates will be one story or two, and if only one will I use the title A Pirates Life for Me or Heart out at Sea. There will probably other projects as well, like figuring out what I'm doing for a cover for End of the Line. Taylor is usually pretty busy so I'm not sure if she'll do another cover or I'll take my friend Amy's offer, she offered to do a photoshoot for the cover when the rain finally stops here! Don't mind me today was barely overcast and today was the first sign of sun in a week. I'm in dire need of sun and beach! Hmm I feel like I'm missing something else....hope not and talk to you soon!

montage of news!
Hey!
So not even sure if I spelt the title write, but I'm going to go with it! So yes I have several news, but first I am sorry that it has been a week since I have last written!! Okay so I got in my email yesterday a very lovely piece of mail!!! I got the edited verison of Family Ties after much talking to the awsome editor Jenn!! I know hell week is over, though I'm in college hell weeks never fully end. I have started to read through it to make sure I approve. It is so exciting!! To see something I have written in a book format, it's still on word, but still it's amazing. I don't care if this is the second book I'm producing, it all feels new and exciting and I love it!!
However like I said, it's still busy in school and I'm trying to balance school which is slowly eating away my soul, and looking over Family Ties before saying the okay!! I'm ubberly excited, even though I have not seen the cover which I am itching to see! Waiting and I do not go hand in hand too well...
Hmm what else did I have to say...Oh! Yes so End of the Line is competely and utterly awaiting those with e-readers to enjoy! I am still not very happy with Xlibris, calling when they want money for something else when I keep telling them I don't have a job, but they dont' return my calls when I have a problem. Along with other cat and mice games so I am thinking of canceling my service with Xlibris, while looking for another self publisher or something for it to be in print I'm going to keep the e-reader form up till then!! I have spring break in like 2 weeks and I'm hoping to do all of that during that time! That way hopefully the print form will be cheaper for yall!! I'm probably keep the cover for End of the Line because I love it!
There was more news...
Oh yeah so I'm still attempting to write the short story for the charity, edit Project US, write part 2 of Pirates and school, silly school getting in the way!! Spring break in 2 weeks I'm hoping to get stuff done and not feel guilty about school and stories...

ugh
Hey,
So I'm still sick, go figure I'm never sick, and I get sick for the first time in years this week. Winter is bad enough without having the chills. I was at the food store and I forgot the sugar and cinninom for toast, that sounds about right. Good news is I figured out a story two ideas for Elizabeth's charity collection. I gave a small summery to Ryan and waiting for him to tell me what he thinks! :)

oh the joys of school...
Hey Everyone,
So I was so sick yesterday I could barely get out of bed. I'm doing a little better today which is also the first day of classes. I would be so lucky to be sick when classes start up. So I'll see if I can find a job this semester, we'll see how that goes. Though I'm suppose to be really focusing on school this semester so odds of a job are slim which drives me crazy not going to lie! Thoug I'm also to see if I have time to write, I really want to get Pirates 2 (Heart out at Sea) finished this year, and work on Project US 3 (Project Not Again). I will also work on a short story that MIGHT go into a collection of paranormal fiction that a fellow author is trying to put together for the charity that fights illiteracy. When I finish writing the short story my friend Ryan says he doesn't mind reading it. Poor guy I keep turning to him to read my stuff!! I do not know what I'm going to write yet. We'll see how that goes!! I'm excited though!
