She may kill me…

Since she posted it on my facebook page, then it should be okay. (cough cough) This is my beautiful cousin. —————->

She ordered my book & it just came in the mail. She was awesome enough to take a picture of her & my baby (novel).

Thanks for the support, Monica! ❤

 

I am so lucky to have such awesome support. My friend, Christina, took a picture, too, but I don’t want to end up missing, if I post the picture. (she’s feisty) Maybe, I will post it with a smiley face in place of her face ???Hmmm….I better not risk it.

Well, I hope everyone had an amazing 4th of July (even if you aren’t from the USA). Happy Wednesday, may your workday go by super fast.

Happy Reading, As Always,

S.E.Isaac

Decisions. Decisions.

Let the guessing begin…

Happy Fourth of July, everyone! Please, stay safe & don’t drink and drive. The risk is NOT worth it. Too many lives will be in danger, including your own. Have a designated driver, call a cab, walk, anything but driving drunk.

Those who do not drink, please, offer to be a DD if you can. Let’s help one another on this Fourth of July.

The stinkin’ truth

I had debated on blogging about this, but I feel that I should, since I want to show the true side of an author & what it is really like to be ‘one’. Grant it, not all authors go through the same things. Not every author has to deal with an autistic / mood disorder pre-teen or deal with battling their own anxiety & depression, but nonetheless, this is my struggle…

The struggle of trying to feel like a good enough writer is real. Everytime I convince myself that my writing isn’t complete garbage, something arises that makes me think the complete opposite. Example: Yesterday, I saw that I received a review on my latest published work, which is my very first novel, “Train to Anguish”. I was super excited and decided to do some research into who the reviewer was. We have a mutual friend, so I shared with my friend that I was appreciative of the review. They then told their reviewer friend, who shared some of their more in depth thoughts of my novel. I should see it as positive criticism; however, I believe that the way someone words something goes a long way. Certain words are just natural soul suckers and should be avoided, if you aren’t trying to make the person give up on their dreams. Not saying that I will give up on my dream of being a worthy author, but nonetheless, their ‘words’ struck me hard to the point of tears. Again, positive criticism is welcomed, but certain words I (and most writers) take as ‘you f*cking suck and probably shouldn’t ever write again.’ Probably not the person’s intent, especially, since they didn’t know their comment would be shared with me, but again, words do hurt. So here I am writing this blog trying to motivate myself to work on my current project. I have 0 willpower at the moment because of one simple word. The comments bothered me but one specific word is what did it for me. I went from being so excited over their review on Amazon (5 stars) to ‘why even bother?’. Extreme. I know. Chronic depression can probably be to blame for this hot mess attitude, but in the end, I am my own person and make my own decisions on how to feel about myself…sort of speak. A doctor or biologist would probably argue with me over the control of my decision and how chemical imbalances are to blame. :-p Okay, I’m rambling but that’s okay to do on a blog, right? Probably not. My apologies.

 

 

So in the end…

Feel free to comment about your latest dilemmas with life. I’d love to hear about them. Or even if it is something positive. I would love to hear about that too!

So it begins…

Too bad that I am nowhere near “The End”. Hell, I am nowhere near “Chapter II” (HA). I have spent most of this evening’s ‘writing’, actually, researching and taking notes. Again, this is quite an accomplishment for me. 1) Means I am learning something new. (2) Means that I am writing a book that is outside my comfort zone & want to ensure accuracy!

There is no peace with this family! Sheesh!

First the adopted brother, Loki, bitches and now this one. Sheesh! Fine. Fine. Asgardian gods, you shall have it your way. Off to write the next best thing. ❤

Hope everyone is having a safe and happy weekend. If you are an author, you should listen to Loki and Thor. Just saying.

I can’t write no more! Zombified!

So sad! On the original, title of this post. I wrote “I can’t right no more! Zombified!” This just goes to tell you how sleepy I am. I don’t even know the difference between ‘right’ and ‘write’! (shakes head in shame)[image error]

I can’t do it anymore. I’m not sure if it is the traditional Japanese music playing, Venom energy drink power left the building, or because I’m old, but I am sleepy! Very sleepy! I feel like a damn Zombie! I probably look like one, too. I will go investigate this theory shortly after I post this. Would post pictures, if my theory stands accurate, but don’t want any lawsuits against me for blindness! :p

I have made it five pages into my latest creation. I even have an outline and a timeline. Those who know me, know that it is rare for me to have both or those let alone one of them! I usually just wing it. Quite proud of myself. I’m sure, tomorrow, that I will look at it all, scream “YOU’RE JUNK!” and get rid of it all. But for now, I am proud.

I hope everyone has a safe night, sweetest of dreams and if you can’t sleep…buy a book! Any book! ❤

 

Happy Reading & Sweet Dreams,

S.E.Isaac

Is this available in Venti anywhere? If so, please, share the location. I could definitely use a cup…or two. I need to get serious about my latest novella (May end up being a novel. We shall see.) The kids are in the pool. You would think that I would have written, but what did I do? I cleaned! I freaking cleaned! What in the hell! Why on Earth would I waste valuable time cleaning? Hmm…am I an alien?
