A Bittersweet Pursuit
Hey guys! So a friend of mine has a book out and it is called "A Bittersweet Pursuit" it's really great I'm reading it right now and I really like it.You can find it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Books-a-million.
http://www.amazon.com/A-Bittersweet-Pursuit-ebook/dp/B00CQ1R0TA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370548192&sr=8-1&keywords=the+bittersweet+pursuit

Description:
Ever see someone, and when you left their sight, you could not stop thinking about them? Or have you ever been a part of something so powerful, that when it was all over, it was still a part of you for years to come? It helped to define who you were? Did that person that you saw briefly make an impact on you? Did he/she pleasantly stain your mind, forcing you to take action, and when you did, only great things came from it? Life is about the impacts people and situations make on you and what you make of them. They define who you are. Sometimes it's hard to let go, but not being able to let go is when you know, that the person you saw for a split second was meant to be more than a passerby. That person was meant to help define and create you.
Won't you let them?

Creating a Memorable Plot
Hello Lovelies!
Last time I talked about creating strong characters. Now on to the plot. What is a story without a good plot?
The answer is nothing.
There has to be a meaning. A "why does anyone care" factor. You plot is the backbone of your story...without the backbone...it's just floppy mush...lol With me so far?
I think the plot is where I have the most issues. But writing a novel/ short story...anything, is not simple. It requires dedication and patience. You know what you want to say, you know the basic idea but the problem every writer faces is how on Earth do you put it together so it makes sense?
1. Goal of the story
The plot of any story is a sequence of events that revolve around a problem or a goal your protagonist is trying to reach. The goal/problem usually involves or affects all characters in the story. It is what the story is all about.Without a goal/problem your story becomes a series of events with no cause or purpose.
In "I Hate You...I Think" the main problem is Jason Martin is unstable and angry. Oliver got him into trouble a few years before Everlyn came along and in Jason's warped mind he blames Oliver for everything bad that has happened to him. So in turn he believes he can get his revenge by hurting the one thing that Oliver has come to care dearly about, and that is Everlyn herself. While Jason's logic is messed up, it makes a great story. Unstable people make the best villians. You never know what they are going to do next...mostly because half the time they don't know that themselves.
With a relevant plot the story begins to unfold. The reader now has a context that lets them appreciate the relevance of each event in the story. It allows the reader to become emotionally involved in your novel and to care about the outcome. It makes the story meaningful and with a GREAT plot twist...it makes your novel memorable such is the case of "I Hate You...I Think".
2. Consequences
Once you have decided on a Story Goal, your next step is to ask yourself, “What disaster will happen if the goal is not achieved? What is my protagonist afraid will happen if he/she doesn't achieve the goal or solve the problem?”
Death is a pretty big motivator. Whether it is fear of their own death or death of someone they care about. Perhaps the protagonist has mere moments to save an entire city? Death and seriously bodily harm are great motivators to get a task done quickly.
The combination of a goal and consequence creates a dramatic tension in your plot. In some stories, the protagonist may begin by deciding to resolve a problem or pursue a goal. Later, that goal becomes more meaningful when he discovers that a terrible consequence will occur if he fails. Other times, the protagonist may start off threatened by a terrible event, which thus motivates him/her to find way to avoid it.
An example is Oliver was attempting to resolve a problem with Jason trespassing in his territory, but a greater problem was created when Everlyn stumbled into the mix. Oliver, conflicted by his own feelings for her and by the danger she imposed not only on herself by being involved but Oliver's whole gang was threatened by the fact that they would follow Oliver no matter what.
4. Requirements and Forewarnings
You can think of Requirements as a checklist of one or more events. As the Requirements are met in the course of the novel, the reader will feel the characters are getting closer to the attainment of the goal or climax/breaking point of the novel. The point of no return. Once you hit this marker it's a kind of understanding between the reader and author that the story is near closing. The climax of a novel should always be toward the end.
Requirements create a state of excited anticipation in the reader's mind, as he looks forward to the protagonist's success. Throughout the whole novel you are building up to the grand finally, and it the fireworks fall flat then you are looking at not only a very unhappy reader but someone who will be telling their friends. Don't buy the book. :( And that as an author is not what you want at all.
Forewarnings are the counterpart to Requirements. While Requirements show that the story is progressing towards the achievement of the goal, forewarnings are events that show the consequence is getting closer. Forewarnings make the reader anxious that the consequence will occur before the protagonist can succeed. Plus it adds a little game for the reader to play. If you only hint around the edges of what could happen it leaves the reader with just enough to be interested but not enough to give away the whole plot. Suspense sales! Remember that and you will go far.
5. Climax
Writing a climax that will have you readers begging for more is an art form. It truly is. It must be unexpected. Yes they know something big is going to happen. They have an idea what will happen but when you present it to them you want them to go: "WHAT?". Completely blind side them. I'm not saying "Huge explosion, everyone dies" kind of surprise. More along the lines of "I was not expecting that at all".
Such as the ending of "I Hate You...I Think". (If you have read it you know) It was just one surprise after another, and when you thought you had reached the climax you found out that it hadn't been that at all. So when the true climax and ending of the story came you were blown off your feet. I have had many angry comments about the ending of the book. But it made you want more though didn't it?
As you read this you are thinking what are you doing posting this crap?! I want the rest of my book, NOW! :)
The trick to being a good novelist, is keeping your fans coming back for more. Whether they curse you out and yell at you for a massive cliffhanger. They enjoyed it far more than they think. Especially if they buy the second book. And if they do that....you know you did a great job.
Just remember these tips and you could be well on your way to writing a great novel.
P.S. If anyone who reads my blog postings needs any writing help or tips I am more than happy to help. I love writing and it makes me happy to see other aspiring novelists like myself. No question is a stupid question. Even if you have never wrote before in your life but you love reading and would like to get some tips on writing your own story/book let me know. You can reach me at any of the links to the right. I check them all almost daily.
Thanks for reading :) Happy Noveling!

Release Date!!
It is official the release date for "Love Me Always" is June 25! I'll have some more updates and maybe another excerpt. :)
May 4, 2013
Excerpt from "Love Me Always"
I stepped into the house and through to the living room where I came to a stop. While everyone else went about sitting down or wandering off I just stood there staring at the floor.
In the middle of the living room carpet a perfect circular stain glared up at me. Someone had clearly taken bleach water and scrubbed the tan carpet, but no amount of scrubbing could take the blood away.
It was like a sledgehammer hit me in the chest. My heart skipped a beat and the feeling almost dropped me to my knees.
"Ever?" Kimmy frowned glancing over her shoulder at me.
"I need to lay down," I muttered to Kimmy not taking my eyes off the spot.
"Uhh. Okay, come on. This way," Kimmy ushered me quickly out of the living room and to a set of stairs.
It hurt my body to walk up the stairs as I was using muscles I hadn't used in a long time. We went to a door at the end of the hall.
"This is Oliver and your room."
Looking around there were posters littering the walls and a couch in the corner as well as a TV stand. Against the far wall sat the most comfortable looking bed in the world.
"Will you be ok in here?" she asked hesitantly.
I nodded. After a moment I heard her shut the door.
I can't tell you how long I stood in the middle of the room. I was waiting. Waiting for anything really. Any kind of flash of a memory, but nothing came. Deep down I felt empty. Since I woke up it was like I was a different person. I feel different, I feel like everything inside of me is wrong.
I headed for the closet. Throwing the doors open I looked inside to find guy clothes, as to be expected. However, there were also many of mine as well. Running my hands across one of his black band tees I shut my eyes.
Still nothing happened.
I'm not sure what I was waiting for but it didn't seem like it was going to come.
Groaning in frustration I flung myself down on the bed. I felt like screaming at the top of my lungs. What is wrong with me? Why do I feel like there is a hole in the middle of my heart?
That's when I noticed the picture frame. Reaching to the bedside table I lifted it up and looked at it. Tears sprang to my eyes as I looked over the faces of myself and the boy I assume was Oliver. We were wearing some ridiculous hats. He had his arm around me and was pressing me to his side. His lips against the side of my head. The ache in my stomach started again and made it's way to my heart.
I truly seemed to be in love with him, but if I'm so in love why can't I remember anything about him?
Was working on the book and thought I'd be nice and add a little spoiler :)

Forming your Characters
So you have your setting as we talked about before....but now what?
Well the most important thing in your book comes next and that is: who is your protagonist?
There has to be someone at the center of the action. This will be the person your readers will be rooting for. (And make them real. Every being is flawed. Everything has a history.) Everlyn Fox is deeply flawed. She comes from a rough home, her father died when she was young and her mother after she meets Oliver. She has temper issues and somewhat trust issues, she is not perfect. But in the end, you care what happens to her because she's likeable and real. Oliver starts out as a hard ass and cocky but as you get into the story he is revealed as a sweet loving guy. Every great novel is character-driven; your protagonist must be a character worth caring about.
You mold and construct your characters as if they are a real people.
Think of your character as the sun in the solar system of your story. Without it, all of the other elements will freeze or burn up or hurtle into space. Without strong characters that are compatible with one another, your story cannot sustain life.
Steps to creating a good character.
1. What is their name? Their name says a lot about their personality. I use unique baby name generators (for first and last names). Just go to google and type in baby names. There are millions of names out there don't just settle for any common name. You look until you find a name you know will fit the idea of your character. (If you name an assassin a girly silly name no one will take them seriously. Unless you give them the name and the assassin shoots people in the face when they laugh about it.)
2. What do they look like? Short, tall, thin? Hair color? Hobbies? Think about yourself or a friend. You can find good characters in just looking at the people around you. Write down everything about this character. You might not even use half of what you write but you'll know your character as if they are someone you see every day.
3. The most important part when creating strong protagonists or characters in general is: what is there personality? Smart, cute, clever, mysterious, strong, gentle, the list can go on forever. But, whatever you choose make it consistent. I have mood swings of my own and it comes out in my characters. But if you are writing about a character that is not like you at all and you throw something in there they wouldn't do you will have your readers confused.
Another important part when creating a unique story is the protagonist’s relationships with the other characters. Think about who your character likes and dislikes. Why does your character feel that way about them? How does your character act around them? How do they interact with one another?
These are just a few tips to help you build solid characters that are believable.

Update
Ok so it's been awhile since I posted. My youngest sister got married and I've been busy.
My college finals are coming up in a week but after that I am dedicating all my time to "Love Me Always" :) the cover has been chosen and the editing is still in progress but it'll be awhile till it's ready for publishing.
If you have bought "I Hate You...I Think" already I'm sure you know of the spelling issues and other mistakes. However, I have gone through it and have others helping and an updated version will be replacing the crappy one. In the meantime here is a preview of the cover to "Love Me Always".

Imagining your story
Sooo....Yesterday I began the editing process of "Love Me Always" yep that's right, it is finished and just needs editing. This time around I know what I messed up on and hopefully I'll get it fixed so it looks like a normal book.
So I think I'm going to start doing writing prompts/exercises, whatever you'd like to call it.
We'll start with shaping your world.
What I do (which I know many people do it differently of course) is I take a deep breath and shut my eyes. Visualize what is it that you want to write about, for example: Say you have a fantasy book in mind, dragons?
Well first you need to decide what does the world look like? Is it here on Earth? Will dragons coming swooping down Los Angeles streets? Or do you want to create your own world? If so what will it look like; a barren wasteland or a lush green field. Perhaps a sea side village/city. Either way while you are imagining these details write it down. It doesn't have to make sense, it doesn't have to have a plot or a reason. Right now you are planning out what you see, what you smell. Is the wind blowing? Is it summer/winter?
These are very important details, if you can see it then so will we. But, now don't go overboard. No one was a two page description of a house.
"The house was yellow and had windows and walls and a fence and there was a tree..."
That is bland and boring. If this is your description then you did not visualize enough. There has to be a story behind the details.
"The house was a two story Southern belle style plantation home with a white picket fence. Every inch of the dilapidated structure had a little bit of history in it from the once a vibrant yellow walls now paled from the searing summer sun, to the twisted oak tree hanging precariously over the front porch. "
Make it interesting, keep their attention. Now the reader can see the house and its flaking paint. Their imagination will go wild and that's what you want. Keep your reader hanging on your every word. Give details but not too much, let the reader fill in the blanks. Let them become part of the story.
If you can see it they will too.

Greetings!
Hello!! So this is my first blog Ever! I was told to make a blog to help promote my book but on here I will also be giving updates about other works I have going on as well as helpful tips. I'll walk you through the steps of writing and ways to put your thoughts onto paper (or in this case digital format) all the way to publishing and marketing (Which I'm still learning myself! So we'll learn together lol)
As of last weekend I published my first book "I Hate You...I Think", and it is taking off like wild fire. I never thought the book would go this far so quickly. I have already many fans and tons of response to the book.
First and foremost- I do realize that there are A LOT of spelling and other issues wrong with the book. I had it finished and edited myself best I could then just threw it out there. I have been working on the story since 2009 and thought I just need to do something with it. I was editing it to death. Needless to say it's out now and I'm letting the pieces fall as they may.
Second - Yes, there will be a sequel! Of course! lol The book is titled "Love Me Always". I wouldn't leave you hanging the way I did without one that would be cruel. But, I did leave it hanging because it encourages you to read book two. Even if you hate me now because of it you still love Oliver and Ever and must find out what has happened, am I wrong? ;)
I have many other books in the works and they are not all gang stories, there are many paranormal romances and fantasy novels. The next series of books I am working on will be called the Ashling Chronicles. I'll give excerpts from those books as well as "Love Me Always".
But, until next time my lovelies.
