Please help my niece!
My beautiful niece, Kayleigh, is trying to get some funding for her trip to Germany in the summer. Every dollar helps!
This is her official “About” from the page:
Hello my name is Kayleigh Bradshaw. I am currently 17, almost 18 years old, and a high school student. I am a Senior this year and also a National Honor Society member. I am in the clinical program perusing the medical field as either a Neonatal Nurse, or a Pediatrician. This is my last year in high school and I was presented with a once in a lifetime chance to go to Germany this summer for an exchange program with some of my class mates. I am a very focused on my goals, I have a BIG heart and have a strong will. I know if I set my mind to something that I can do it. I have two sisters and a brother at home and money can be strapping on my family at times, as I am sure you can imagine. This is where you come in. I need your help funding my trip to Germany. I have never traveled outside of the United States and I know this would be a great learning and life changing experience. Please help me make my dream come true. Anything you can do to help me get there would be greatly appreciated.
Please help my niece. Thank you guys so much

Oh the Ruts You’ll Get Stuck in
So, you know that thing called “writer’s block?” Well, it’s a bitch. I have tried to hard to get started writing, and already I am failing. I think in the past couple of weeks I have written less than a thousand words. It’s annoying, it’s maddening, and I just want to write my book. I just moved and I thought that a change of scenery might make a world of difference… I was wrong! I have been pacing the floor trying to come up with the rest of this book and I continue to fall short. I am hoping that a short road trip to New Orleans will do the trick, but I’m concerned. I want to write a great book that people will like, but I have to finish it first. Everyone around me is busting out novels and edits and here I am, in my corner, with nothing. I will keep trying, but I am just so stuck.

New Year’s Resolution
2013 started off at a great pace. I completed finished and published my first novel, and I was feeling amazing! Then life happened. I changed jobs, got so busy that I lost motivation. From April 2013 to now, I have been battling chapter, book and over arching story line problems, losing my focus, self doubt, and so many other things that I couldn’t possibly know exactly where to start. I had so many people asking me when I was planning on Jeremy getting completed, but I couldn’t come up with a realistic answer. I was supposed to complete Jeremy before Christmas, but that didn’t happen. This year after Celine came out has been me disappointing myself time and again. Add to that the glaringly obvious fact that so many people were wanting me to deliver something that I just couldn’t. So that little voice in my head that is all too familiar to everyone on the planet came along and let me know that I wasn’t good enough to do this.
I tried to fight it off
I tired participating in NANOWRIMO, being an admin in not one but two Facebook groups (New Adult Fiction Addiction and Authors To Watch)… anything to get the creative juices flowing and it just wasn’t happening. Every once in a while the spark would come back and I would knock a chapter out. That clearly didn’t happen too often because I am staring at an outline for Chapter 9 wondering if this is too early for Silas to have a few minor revelations. I have been wondering whether my putting it off has something to do with the fact that Jeremy is a preacher, and I am not religious in the slightest. Everything has started to seem like a big waste of time and I have often thought of just giving up here.
But with the new year comes new beginnings right? I started thinking about things going in to 2014. What are my goals? What is my dream? Didn’t I start this to see it through to the end? I think I may have come up with an amazing plan for 2014 and I am actually excited to see 2014 get here! I decided that I would share that list here, and I hope that you guys help keep me honest. I have a lot I want to do, so let’s get start with that list.
Maegan’s New Year’s Resolutions for 2014 (Literary Edition):
1. Finish Jeremy- This goes to the top of the list because I really want to get it done and move on. There is so much of the story left to tell you
2. Do more features- I want to start doing interviews, and features for some of my friends. I obviously like to feature more than just authors, so we’ll see. I may extend this out to strangers, but I still want to have time to write.
3. Promote more- I don’t expect to become some international sensation or anything like that; I just want people to read my story.
4. Work on Zombie Novel- This is pretty much self explanatory
5. Launch promotional service and other (currently secret) ventures- So much room to grow!
I plan to stick to this as best as I can. Wish me luck!
What about you? What are your plans for 2014? Comment below or give a video response.

A little help goes along way
I am reaching out to you guys because I really need your help. My mother-in-law lives 4 hours away in a crappy house and my husband and I are trying to do everything we can to bring her up here so that we can keep our jobs and help her out. We’re trying to raise enough money to either put a down payment on a home or buy some land to put a manufactured home on. If you can’t donate, that’s totally fine, but spreading this link will be more than helpful.

Hop on over, share some love, and also be sure to like the Facebook page (which is still very much under construction) http://www.facebook.com/NovelIdeaPromotions
