Everyone Has A Story

I've just finished editing my first romance novella, The Perfect Stranger. My goal for 2012, is to post my books on Amazon to sell. I don't usually write, or predict resolutions for a new year, but this year I did. I have too much to do, and I don't care what it takes, posting my books is my main goal. I have three books sitting on my computer, because I don't know how to format them, for kindle, e nook, and smashwords. What is wrong with me? I wish I could push a button, and poof it's done. I started this blog to talk about my books, but I can't until they're up on Amazon, so you'll have to hear stories about me. Ugh! LOL!

I can't believe it's Christmas tomorrow. It seems like just yesterday, we were bringing in 2011. Wow! Time's flying. I had to sit down my kids, and tell them, I have no money for Christmas. I feel like such a bad mom. I went to the Target for a pack of Under-jams for my youngest child, and tears started rolling down my face, when the woman in front of me, bought three gift cards, for over $400. I had just enough money to buy the Under-jams, which cost $10.06 w/tax. As I drove home, my '94 Dodge Caravan, which I just purchased from a man, started acting up. So not only do I not have any money for my kids, I don't have money to fix our only transportation. Great! Any money I have, is used on bills for the home. My oldest son understands, but my youngest son does not. As a mother, how do you explain to him, why Santa didn't bring any gifts to his house? I'm not looking for people to feel sympathetic for me, because I'm doing the best I can, being a single mother. What I'm trying to do is show people, there's always someone out there who has it, worst then you. I know somewhere out there, someone's story is worst than mine. I am grateful, for my family, to have a roof over my head, and food on the table. Tomorrow I'm going to enjoy every minute, being with my family. I feel Truly blessed. From the bottom of my heart, I want to Wish Everyone a Merry Christmas.

Am I The Only One Who Needs Computer Skills?

Yep, it's close to Christmas, and my kids still think they're getting something. LOL! I had to put boots to asses today.Too crowded! Everywhere I went, it was either crowded, or I had to sit in traffic, because of the Christmas rush. I found myself arguing over a parking space today. This is crazy. What happened to the recession? Am I the only one in it? People are out there shopping hard.

Someone told me, "As much as I talk, and write, I should be tweeting more." What do I say to that, when they're right? Nothing. I'm so ready to post my erotica's on Amazon. But I have to wait, for help, since I don't have a clue, about a computer. That's why I don't tweet that much. I don't even know how to put a hashtag up. I really need to take a computer class, or buy Computer for Dummies. This is sad. I hate for my books, The Perfect Stranger, Deja Vu, and Chocolate Sweets, to be sitting on my computer, because I don't know how to format to HTML. On top of this blog box, it has Edit HTML. If I don't know how to HTML, how will I know, how to Edit HTML. This is very frustrating. If there's anyone out there who knows how to post a book, leave instructions. PLEASE!

Okay, on the X-Factor. I have two out of three contestants, who I predicted would make it. I did not expect Chris Rene, to make it this far. I'm SHOCKED! I'll be happy if either Josh or Melanie win. They both deserve to be in the finale. Both are very talented.

Am I a bad parent, if I encourage my kids to watch, Beyond Scared Straight? They're nothing like those kids, but I'm trying to make a point to them. The choices they make, have consequences.

I just want to say thank you to all the people following me on twitter. I'm proud of each of them. Let's keep writing!

Getting What You Pay For?

I'm tired, but I can finally smile. I just finished editing my first two erotica short stories: Deja Vu, and Chocolate Sweets. I'm so happy, I did this myself. I can't wait to share my stories with the readers. I've already selected my book covers, so the hardest part, is getting it right for kindle, e-nook, and smashwords. I want to make sure, readers are getting what they paid for. I want the best, and know the readers do also. Now I have to start editing my romance novels, The Perfect Stranger, and Mixing Pleasure With Business. I had to beg my kids, to let me finish, editing my books. I think if food doesn't kill me, my kids will. Oh, I lost a few inches, exercising. Trying to bring in the New Year right.

Okay, I've reached another milestone. I have 12 followers on Twitter. Happy to have, and follower each one of them. Thanks for all the great information, and tweets!

News-TOO much of it. My mind is spinning with news. I will say this though, my prayers go out to the Virginia Tech families, who lost love ones today. I couldn't believe this happened again. Sad. Everyone please be safe. Live and Love life, like it's your last day. Peace!

The Computer is my Enemy

Hey family. Hope everyone had a great holiday. Spent my time with the other family and loved every minute of it. I've been working out since the end of October, just to enjoy myself for Thanksgiving.(LOL) I just realized Core Rhythms makes you lose inches, not weight. I weighed myself, and hadn't lost a pound. Well, at least I'm exercising.

Okay Reality T.V. I love the way Modern Family ends.As much as they argue during the show, at the end, they always come together and support, one another. Love that!

Yes, it happened. Leroy Bell, was voted off X-Factor. He was one of my favorites.Since he's gone, I'm predicting the final three: Josh, Melonie, and Rachel. All of these contestants are excellent, but these three definitely bring it when they sing.

I formatted one of my books, for Amazon.com, and when I previewed my book, I lost some chapters. What Am I Doing Wrong? The computer is my enemy. It hates me! I will prevail and post my books soon. I hope! I want to tell my Cowboys, keep winning. Yea! My kids are still getting on my nerves, but this love I have for them, keeps me going.

P.S. I have 9 followers now! Moving up!

Where's the damn book?

Hey! It's been a up and down week. I have a problem with the publisher's, pushing writers books back. I've been waiting since July for Adrianne Byrd's book, King's Pleasure. It's not the author's fault. It's the publisher's. The first two books of this series, the books were available in stores. Not this one! What are they doing?

Modern Family, last night was okay.Phil is SO weird. The X-Factor?I think the judges were tough last night with the performances.(Simon)! More than others. As much as we want to hate Simon about his criticism, majority of the time, he's right.He gives, great advice,but his presentation sucks.I adore him.What a hotty!

Well have a great weekend. GO COWBOYS!

P.S. FREE THE OCCUPY PROTESTERS!!!!!!!!

Don't Give Up!

What a day! First, let me say, "I'm HOOKED on Twitter." I'm not big on social networking, but I love this one. Shout out to all FOUR of my followers. I dare someone to beat that number. LOL

Secondly, I almost did something, I never thought I would do. GIVE UP! The pass weekend, I was dealing with writers block, so I tried focusing only on my book. Nothing work. No sitting quietly, not music, not even going out and being inspired by others. I tried channeling my energy into the characters, I was writing about. Well that finally worked. But then another curve ball came out, and that's when my faith to my craft was tested. I've been writing stories for myself, for almost four years. Earlier this year I was inspired, with the Amanda Hocking story, so I too decided, to publish my own books on Amazon. Well, it's easier than it looks. I have so much respect to all of the writers who've decided to self publish. It's SO not easy. If anyone told me how difficult it was, I would've thought twice before deciding to try it. LOL. Like Amanda, I kept getting denied. I still have my letters as proof. But yesterday, I questioned myself, on if I could really do this. Could I be that great writer, who inspires people? I know, I'm no Amanda Hocking, but we share the same beginning. So today, I sat, and thought about what I wanted. I loved the craft, before I became it, so how can I give it up? Please don't give up! As much as we get frustrated, we can't let one, or two problems, stop us from reaching out goals. DO NOT GIVE UP! I HAVEN'T!

Writers Block

I'm so happy tomorrow's Friday? For the past two days, I've been bothered by writers block. Ugh! This is a terrible feeling, when you're trying to write a series, and have nothing creative to write about. In my head, I have so much to say, but when I start typing, it's not coming out the way I want it to sound. I decided if I don't have anything good to say, to not write about anything at all.

I did the unthinkable. Yes I'm on Twitter. I can barely remember to blog, and yet I've joined another website, where I'll have to share my day to day activities. What was I thinking? This is so not good.

I feel so sorry for all of the victims in the Penn State case. Let's remember the victims, and stop thinking about the revenue the college is bringing in.

Everyone have a safe and happy weekend!

What's going on?

Hey everyone! I wonder if everyone's emotions are going crazy since yesterday's verdict, regarding the Michael Jackson trial. When I heard they'd reached a verdict, I too ran to my television, to find out what it would be. I'm not going to comment on whether he's received a verdict well deserved, but I do want to comment on we're still without a great man, entertainer, and father. It's sad no matter how we look at it. It's hard for families dealing with addictions.

I'm so ready to publish my books on Amazon.com. I've seen a version of how it would look, and I'm very excited for it to happen. I must thank my sister, who is helping me bring my dreams into a reality. Without her, I know I would not be able to do it. Thank you so much, Stone. (lol)

Tonight a new episode of Glee comes on. Yes, I'm a Gleeker. You can never be too old to love Glee. I must admit though, I'm having mixed reviews about this season. So far, I'm not to happy with the season. Borrring! Sorry! It's just my opinion, but I'm not enjoying one episode yet.

People, let's remember to vote today, if your state is voting, you should be out there making a difference. You have no right to complain about the problems, unless you go out and VOTE.

Heart is broken. Just found out a truly gifted man has died. HEAVY D! Prayers go out to his family. Will miss him.

What Are You Watching?

I'm exhausted. Writing a book was more than I expected. My sister who I love dearly, gets information every day about writing a book, and she shares it with me, which means I'm constantly changing my book. She's just looking out for me, so I should be grateful, someone's out there doing that for me. Thank you, sis. When my books are finally up, I'll really mean it (lol).

I saw Modern Family from last night and I loved it. I'm a huge Kevin Hart fan. I sure hope he's on the show more. Ty Burrell who plays Phil, is this the craziest man on TV? My oldest son loves his character. Another show I've gotten into, the X-factor. Leroy Bell, WOW! Cannot figure out who to vote for! Everyone is so talented. This will be the most emotional show, when they are voted off. Haven''t watched tonight's episode, but can't wait to see who's staying.

Take care of each other.

I'm My Biggest Critic

I'm so busy. I finally made my decisions for my book covers. So excited! Now I have nothing stopping me from putting my books up, except for fears. It's time to put up or shut up, right? There's this excitement to see my books up on Amazon, but a fear of failing with the readers. I'm my biggest critic!

News! It's too much! I cannot go anywhere without hearing about Kim Kardashian. People? Let's focus on more important news than her divorce. Let's focus on getting our troops home. I want to send out my prayers to Former First Lady Hillary Clinton's family.

Everyone please be safe, and happy.

Why I Decided To Blog

I started writing three years ago, and I'm just finished editing my third book.  When I wrote my first book,  I just knew a publisher would sign.  NOT!!!! I got denied. Then I read my book, and realized why I got denied.  It was <b>Horrible</b>!!!  I've been denied 4 times with a known publisher.  They were sending me great feed back, but it always came to, "Just not what were looking for at this time."  Honestly I didn't know what they were looking for, so I had enough of denials, coming in the mail. My plan is to self pub.

<p>
I'm a big romantic, so my first book, "The Perfect Stranger," is about romance. Reading so many romance books, I decided to write about now only romance but erotica also. So I'm working on my first erotic short story, which has no title yet. Let's see where this goes. It doesn't hurt to try.
<p>
Enjoy Life!
