BENEFITS OF A WRITING BREAK

I've been kicking out manuscripts in four months stints for about 2 years. My goal is 3 months, but something always happens in the writing frenzy to stop my progress. Is it a bad thing? Nope, not at all.WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU CAN'T FIND THE TIME TO WRITEI always try to get a draft outline completed. That way during those times when I'm unable to write, but ideas are floating around in my head, I

TRUE BLOOD and VAMPIRE DIARIES Addiction

My True Blood addiction has captured my husband and several of my friends. This show is definitely not for teenagers. It's hot, bloody, risky, sensual, gritty…and so much more. It deals with some taboo topics, werewolves, shape shifters, witches, Christians depicted as zealots, vamps, and demons. Lots and lots of blood. I have to admit though, season two didn't meet my expectations. Season 3

PROPHECY OF DAYS by Christy Raedeke - Reviewed by Nyia

Prophecy of Days by Christy Raedeke - Reviewed by NyiaPlease welcome or guest NYIA - TEEN BOOK REVIEWERLoved it from the very beginning, even the prologue wasn't boring or too long. It wasn't a wordy first person book that spent tons of time explaining stuff. The main character, Caity and her friend (a hot boy) helping her had me laughing because they sounded just like me and my friends. She was

RESIDENT EVIL - 3D Movie Review

Okay, I went to this movie with low expectations, but what a RUSH…yep, I was keyed up the entire movie. The special effects were awesome (think the Matrix but with Zombies) and the 3D version was so worth seeing. If you just want to go to the movies to see an adrenaline packed movie and you like zombies, this one is so worth the ride. Now, I got to tell you, there were lots (I mean lots) of

MOCKINGJAY by Suzanne Collins - Book Review by Nyia

Please welcome our TEEN BOOK REVIEW, Nyia!(She stayed up all night reading this and I had to beg with her to get her to review it.)First off, I loved the series, but this book made me mad. I didn't want to write a review. Now don't get me wrong, it is a good book. A good series, but the characters I fell in love with were different from the characters I thought I knew before. They changed so much

DRAMA IN BLOGGING?

You know I'm fairly new to blogging books and sorts. I'm going on my first year. During this year I've grown as a blogger. I love it. It's been a way to meet new people, to learn about great books and to find new ways to improve my craft.However, what I've also found is several bloggers that have taken blogging to a different level. Who have in some ways become celebrity bloggers due to great

Oh No! I'm an Ebook lover!

When did it happen? I couldn't tell you. But within the last year, I've purchase more ebooks than I have actual books. Since I write YA, I pondered over the usefulness of my YA book being in ebook format simply because I didn't believe the younger book buying public would purchase more ebooks than actual paperback. In that summation I'm correct… for now. Although, I believe that within about 5 to
