Update on Book Trailer

Hey!
I'm sure people are getting sick of me saying that the Book Trailer for 'End of the Line' is on its way. However, it is on its way. I'm home from school this weekend so I'm able to see my friend Amy who said she'll do the images! I'm going to be seeing her tonight to hang out along with to give her a copy of 'End of the Line' because she read it back maybe 3 years ago. So her memory is a little fuzzy. Yay for working process!! I'm having fun figuring this out. Also 'Family Ties' I'm pretty sure I'll be looking for agents for it soon, so that it'll be book number two out! I'm pretty excited about that! Further more, book number three, 'A Pirate's Life for Me' is about a little more than halfway through being edited! All so exciting especially since the semester is almost over!

featured!

Hey!
Sorry I was working on to essays yesterday so I wasn't able to spread some of the news. It's a lame reasoning, but it is a big grade for a class. My blog was one of the new sites featured on a lovely reading site! The link is listed below! Be sure to check it out!!

On other news I might be going to try a new route for the "End of the Line" book trailer. I am allowing one of my camera happy friends lose and have fun taking pictures. I'm looking forward to see what she comes up with. Like me, Amy, is a a college student so it will take a little bit. I do not know still about the music, but I'm pretty excited that Amy was excited about this!

comment

Hey Everyone!
I really should be asleep, silly college sleeping pattern...
So my friend Alex read the chapter from 'A Pirate's Life for Me', seriously did not expect such a long comment, but none the less appericated and highly enjoyed! I'm saving his comment at the bottom of the story as a reminder. He really helped me understand the male mind a little more, a better prespective. The poor guy has volunteered to help any time i needed it...I'll try to not abuse that offer.

poor Project US

Hey,
So I wrote "Project US" freshman year in high school, even though I wrote before this story, this was the story that really helped me want to really write. That probably doesn't make sense at all. It is also that story that no matter what I do, I feel like it will never be done enough to make me fully satified with it. My friend Patty, might be annoyed since now I will editing it so that two factors will be different. One has to change because I saw a law that would help the plot line along that I didn't know about. Then another scene if I want to have the story located where I'm thinking I have to change that scen which I'm not fully sure how I'll do since it overlaps two chapters, but I'll see how that goes...

weekend

Hey!
I hope everyone is preparing for the weekend! I hope everyone will have a better weekend then me. I have a bunch of homework this weekend, especially since Halloween weekend I have a huge family thing that I will not be able to any really. To help the no pressure time, November, project month and finals in December, so exciting...let me tell you. I really wanted to get more of the Book Trailer this weekend, but I am not sure if I can because of the homework. I'm going to try, because I really like sticking to a schedule. I'm going to try to get a hold of the guy to see if he is interested. Just to prove my needing to stick to my plan, I'm having my friend Alex read the chapter in "A Pirate's Life for Me". He is brutely honest so I'm a little nervous.

I've been talking to this author on Goodreads and he has been helping me with questions about self publishing vs. traditonal publishing. Along with comparing notes about agent letters. It was all good information, but my mind is spinning with all this information.

images

Hey!
So I'm hoping to try to contact someone this weekend to get images for the Book Trailer for "End of the Line". Sorry about the process taking away. The person is a friend of a friend so I'm really hoping this works! Also having a friend, Ryan, read part of "A Pirate's Life for Me" because I'm really stuck on chapter 7's point of view. It is from a guy's point a view and for some reason, maybe I'm being over critical, but this one chapter is making me a little ansty. I'm hoping he reads the chapter soon. I'm halfway through of editing this story! If my line-up stays the same this will hopefully be book number 3! I'm nervous about only letting him read one chapter with not much background, but I'll see how he does with that. Also I want to thank the people I've been meeting through Book Blogs and Goodreads! You all have been seriously helpful with aiding me through the networking and seeing different views!
