FF~Reasons Today is a Good Day

 

Today I'm going to share five things I like about today. You ready? Hold on because its going to be quick 'n dirty. Ah maybe not that dirty.

1. Starbucks – live for Friday Starbucks runs.

2. Closer to California Turkey Day trip.

3. Getting ladybug tattoo in honor of beloved and very missed grandmother.

4. Payday!!!!

5. Writing weekends are the best!

The Agenda

I swear I have one. For starters let's talk blog. I'm going to be working hard to bring back some of my favorite features. Things like Music Monday, Temptation Tuesday, and the Friday Five. I'm especially excited about Temptaion Tuesday where I get the priveledge of chatting with my fellow authors and learning more about what they have in store for us. 

Now let's talk writing. The work in progress pile is looming over me and it is quite large to say the least. I need to narrow it down. Currently, I have someone looking over Blood & Moonlight. The second book has an opening and is slowly progressing. I also have a story in the works. First in a trilogy. A contemp western of sorts that will follow three brothers if all goes according to plan.

Excited? I am. Now if I could just find where my Muse ran off to….

A Zombie Love Song?

Yes one does exist. I know – you had no idea right? Me neither. A friend of mine was helping me brainstorm and he says, what about a zombie love story? To which I reply, there is nothing sexy or romantic about body parts falling off at inopportune moments. Plus, I could've sworn I'd heard of a zombie love story. So I did what anyone would do. I googled it. To my amazement, quite a few things came up, but the one thing that I didn't expect were the zombie song videos that popped for youtube. Being the curious being I am, of course I clicked on the link which led me to videos of a zombified Taylor Swift wannabe which was kind of funny and this little video which gave me plenty o laughs….

 

Yep, there you go. Zombie video of the week. And yes, I did actually think of something to write. Just one more thing of many to throw on my writing to do list. Happy Thursday everyone!

A New Found Love~

Yes my Sons of Anarchy addiction has reached this level. Charlie Hunnam is my new eye candy. He has hero written all over him!

Addictive Shows

I don't have cable. A crime I know, but it was supposed to serve two purposes. Keep me from watching tons of television and save me money. However, I still sneak in a little television courtesy of Netflix. Usually means they have stuff a season or two behind. Addiction is still possible though. My two latest addictions are courtesy of one of brainstorming partners -

1. The Walking Dead

2. Sons of Anarchy

These shows definitely have their addictive qualities. Zombies and Bikers. Two totally opposite ends of the spectrum and I love em both. Talk about action packed and a bit gory. But it has everything. Romance. Betrayal.

The Nightmare Before Christmas Poem

I have loved The Nightmare Before Christmas since it came out. Tim Burton is a genius, if not a wee bit odd. I think it is truly part of his brilliant artistic vision. This is the first year my kids are old enough to even show interest in watching it. So I'm super excited. I found this online and just had to share. It's a little long, but of course if I didn't think it was worth it I wouldn't share. Plus I found it fitting since I've entered the poetry section of my English class. Not my favorite section, but this and Edgar Allan Poe might sway me yet.

Toe Tapping Tonight Tonight!

Thanks to a friend, I recently discovered this song. The lyrics crack me up and I can't help but smile as I and sing it at the top of my lungs (in the privacy of my car of course). Happy Friday people!

Chasing Dreams~

Once you discover what your dream is, what would you do to achieve it? How long are you willing to pursue it? Is there something that would keep you from reaching that tasty sugar coated dream? I mean besides the brain eating zombies. Focus people.

Sometimes, it's a matter of priorities. Where do your dreams rank among other things in your life? For me, the dream is pretty high up there. While I may not be blogging like crazy, I'm striving to achieve my dreams. Going to school to hone my craft while dealing with children and still working on novels is challenging at best, but will be so worth it in the end. I see the goal line and have every intention of reaching it. Nope dear readers, I'm just getting started, so stick around while I continue chasing my dreams. And while you're hanging out with your Guinness or Triple Venti Irish Cream Latte,  share your dreams and what you are doing to chase them down.

Got Music?

It's been said before, I've got a huge thing for music that triggers my imagination to run wild, beats that send my characters into a frenzy, and lyrics that just give voice to emotions. Songs that stick with me and just brighten my day when they come on. Here is the most recent song to be added to that list.

Priceless~

Thanks to Silke Juppenlatz, I can't get this out of my head since she shared it the other day.
