Serendipity

Well, yes. I am watching that movie while I write this. But that's not why it's the title.

Unexpected friendships or relationships, brought on by a serious of serendipitous (unplanned) events.

I like it. Might have to take advantage. I'm picturing it and it's amazing.

This is it.

80,000 words - 120,000
Do you see this book as part of a series?
As much as I would love to write a series I don't feel as thought the project I am working on now will evolve into something that needs multiple volumes to get the entire story out. If it does make that kind of transformation I will willingly and graciously accept it.

Back in the day

Yesterday I did research. Lots of it. I found some blogs that I added to my blog list so that I can go to them whenever. They post a lot of helpful entries. Now, I need to get back to work on that book. Later.

Busy Bee

I've been reading Meg Cabot's book Size 14 is not fat either. The main character Heather drinks her coffee with hot coca in it and every time I read it I would want to try it. So I did. Good stuff. I plan on mixing other drinks now.

Next. Stephenie Meyer's book tour. Asked my dad about it. He is going to talk to my mom tomorrow and see how we can go about that. My sister and I want New York or Seattle. LA isn't an option b/c I am trying out for color guard that day. We are a bit upset that we can only get one book signed. No pictures either. Kinda stinks. She isn't personalizing anything. That, in my opinion, is dumb. Why should someone be able to sell your book on ebay and get twenty/thirty bucks more than the book cost when you signed it for free. (I think the twenty dollars is for the guy that is singing.)

Third. Need to write and outline tonight. Morning. Oops, it's late. Did not know that.

Last. One of my friends is not being supportive. He won't talk to me at all. It's upsetting. Someone I thought would have my back...well, doesn't. I'm not sure what to do about him.

Almost but not

Almost crashed today. I drove my mom to the hospital and on the way to get my sister's hair done the car in front of me hit the brakes and I hit mine, but we slid. Must have only been an inch away. We ended up stopped on the train tracks. Scary. My chest hurt for a bit after that.

All write now. Baby, It's all write now!

Watching TRL right now to see what they have to say about Stephenie Meyer's tour. I'm stoked. My parents are talking about letting my sister and I fly to one of the four events. Cross your fingers. Meeting people that inspire you do to better is something that everyone should get a chance to experience. Last year I had the opportunity of meeting Scott Westerfeld at Dragon*Con. It was absolutely incredible. He signed a preview of his book Extras for me. It blew my mind.

This kind of stuff is proof that EVERYTHING you want from life is in reach.

Oh! One more thing...

The post about time.... I forgot to say that my plan/ goal is to have a book published by then. If I get my act back together I know it can happen.

Dream Big. Aim for the moon and the worst that can happen is that you'll land among the stars.
