The Art of Whaaat? Quiz

http://www.goodreads.com/quizzes/2203...

A liitle quiz to jog your memory in anticipation of Book 2.

Take it with a grain of salt

I really need to learn to stop reading the status updates on my book. Why do I torture myself like that? Morbid curiosity, I suppose. But why must I be so sensitive? It's been this way my entire life. I really try my best to take things with a grain of salt and look at all reviews as positive criticism.

And honestly, for the most part, Goodreads reviews have done exactly that: Provided honest feedback and positive criticism. There are those comments and reviews however, that just hurt.

I know, I know. I'm whining. I love to write and I know my book is not for everyone. I completely understand that. Truly.

In hindsight, I wish I had written my book differently. I have even tried to edit it and re-edit and re-re-edit it to make it more enjoyable. But alas; it is what it is.

So I'm giving myself a bit of advice: STOP READING THE UPDATES and TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.

But most importantly - I need to reread all of the kind words and wonderful reviews that I have received over and over again until my fragile ego is fully restored. ;)

Thanks for listening. Now back to your regularly scheduled program... (And back to writing Book 2 for me)

A little too much? Yes, I think so.

I've got my head down and I'm writing like a maniac. I'm working on three stories.

Editing and putting final touches on Tempered by Fire: Angel Bound #1

Writing Book 2 of my "Art" series and attempting to finish a rough first draft for NaNoWriMo.

Started writing my short story for the Kinky World group: All She Wants for Christmas.

All this in addition to working full-time and trying to keep my VH and daughter entertained. I can plan on getting very little sleep for the next 6 weeks.

Think I've bitten off more than I can chew? Yeah. Me, too.

NaNoWriMo?!

What have I done? Why did I agree to write an 80k word novel in one month? Am I out of my mind? Yes, I must be. Technically I only have to write a 50k word novel but my novel needs to be at least 80k. Someone please slap me now.

My scary story for October....

This is my weird, creepy, and downright terrifying scary story that scarred me for life:

It was a sultry night and the humidity was thick. I only tell you this detail because I was sweating an unusual amount while me and my BF were getting busy. When we finished, I walked into the bathroom, still naked, and passed in front of the large mirror. What I caught a glimpse of horrified and disturbed me. It was.... Wait for it.... MY OWN ASS! It was sweaty and horrifying!

You think I'm kidding, but let me tell you, God put that thing behind us for a reason; so we wouldn't have to see it. And I swear to everything holy and unholy, that I wished I had never laid eyes on it. I mean seriously, how could I have gone on my entire life and not known what it looked like? HOW? I should've gouged my eyes out right there and then, but I didn't have the cojones.

Why oh why did I have to see it? That was some 15 years ago and I'm still reeling from the trauma of it. Not once have I ever looked back there again, because with age, there is one thing I am certain of; it hasn't gotten any better.

I wish I was making this up or it had only been a very bad dream, but alas, no. This is not a work of fiction. This is fact, people, FACT. I saw it with my own two eyes! I still have night terrors about it to this very day, and occasional fits of rage, as well.

The moral of this story? Unless you're a runway model or a masochist, do not, I repeat, DO NOT look at your own ass, however tempting it may be. This goes for both men and women alike!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
