Which Way Is Up?

Oh dear lord, what a crazy two weeks.  I haven’t accomplished anything and yet so much has happened to me.

I’m written up to the climax of my newest novel Time of Prophecy.  I decided to take a step back and visually story board it.  You see when I write it tends to play out like a movie in my head.  If I’m coming up on a complex or difficult scene, I just let it run in my head and gleam information that way.  It helps a little.  Any who, while I was taking time out for that, the shit hit the...

My Center

If you haven’t seen Rise of the Guardians, you should.  Not only is it a cute animated movie about childhood, it has some pretty good messages.  One of the themes revolves around Jack Frost as he tries to figure out what his center is, the reason why the moon choose him to become a Guardian.  Most people spend their entire lives looking for the one thing that makes them who they are.  There are a lot of things that make up a person but their center is what pulls all others towards it.

For me,...

I can see it…..

the light at the end of the tunnel.  The end of the writing phase of my novel.  During the school year, my time is so crazy that I don’t always have the time to sit down and bust out some word counts.  I do a little writing, but not like what I can do over the summer.  The only sad thing is that by the time I’ve gotten into a good summer groove, it’s almost time to head back.  I only a few more weeks left before I have to go back to work and I have two chapters left to write.  I’m in overdriv...

My Newest Obsession

HAMILTON

I don’t think I really have to explain this one any further.  I swear go on youtube or spotify and listen to the album.  I love musicals anyway but this one is steadily taking over my life.

I absolutely love it!

I really need a bookcase

Like I’ve said before, writer’s block is a b****.  Today I sat down at my computer and just stared at the page.  Nothing.  I re-read what I already wrote.  Nothing.  I tried to do some free writing…nothing.  SIGH!

I even BSed around and cleaned up some of the files on my computer but the muses have abandoned me.  I wallow in my despair, trying to figure out how in the world did I offend our lovely ladies of the arts and search for the means to get back into their good graces.

I tho...

Bookaholic

Hello, my name is Kristen and I am addicted to books and I don’t want any help.  Honestly, I don’t know where I would be without books.  They have been the one constant in my life for as long as I can remember.  I don’t even remember learning how to read.  One of my first memories is me picking up a book and reading it.  I can’t tell you what it was about, but I remember reading it.  I have swam with dolphins and walked the ancient streets of Egypt.  I have learned magic and fought against mo...

New Challenge

When I was in my teen’s my favorite show was Gilmore Girls.  I have many a fond memory of my mother and I curled up on the couch watching the show.  I often dreamed of being like Rory.  She was smart, funny, and very much her own person.  While surfing around the internet one day I came across a list of books from my favorite tv show.  The list had every book ever mentioned on the show.  Now, of course a few of them aren’t real but the vast majority are.  So I have decided to embark on a new...

Writer’s Block is a B

The two more dreaded words in an author’s world are writer’s block, or otherwise known as when our imaginary friends stop talking to us.  I’ve been pretty fortunate lately.  Even on days when I really didn’t feel like writing, I could without too much trouble and once I got into the groove of things, it all turned out pretty well.  Alas, I should have known that could not always be so easy.  The WB monster has finally caught up with me.

Yesterday I could not for the life of me even get a sing...

What May Come

[image error]As an author, there’s nothing I love more than to create new, fantastic worlds from nothing.  Well, almost nothing, most of stories in the world came from a tiny seed of thought.  Whether it’s a scene playing out like a movie in your head (me) or just something that comes pouring out of you while your doing something else (also me), these ideas implant themselves into your mind and with careful nurturing, become the stories that we all know and love.

But that’s only one way.

The other way is...
