A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To This Post

I know that today is Wednesday and that would generally mean new video blog, but a funny thing happen along the way. See I have to record the video and add it to the music and set it up so that everything flows correctly but unfortunately I didn't have the time to get everything set up this week. Add in that next week in going to be hard as well and we probably won't have another vblog for a few weeks.

I apologize but it is a new genre for me. I have to get use to the schedule of it and coming up with interesting info to share and then there's wardrobe :). Just kidding on that last bit but it does require thought. So I didn't want to leave you wondering what happened this week or next so I am posting to let you know not to worry and as soon as I can get back on schedule then a new vblog will be up for your enjoyment.

That is about it. Until next time, keep writing.

Sum It Up Sunday

I guess "Sum It Up" can go for either Saturday or Sunday. LOL, so this week it is going to be Sunday.

Unfortunately there isn't a lot to tell. I almost have this site set up exactly as I want it. There are a few additional things I would like to add but they can come in time. I started working on my edits to Intersected but I haven't quite gotten the two chapters a day down yet. I need to get it finished because I have a few people that I would like to read it and give me there honest opinions before I send it off to be published and the sooner I can get it to them then the sooner they can get it back to me.

I did come up with a new idea for an original story. I am still working out the finer details but I think if I can get the concept just right then it will make for an interesting story. I don't know if I will do it for the June writing contest that I mention, mostly because I went to the link and it didn't pull anything up, or if I will make my own writing concept and challenge myself to finish it all on my own.

Lastly, I found a new publishing site that I think I will work with to put out a book of poetry. I am really, really excited about this possibility. Although I love writing poetry is my first love and will always be were my heart is. So if I can get out something really great with regards to it I will be really happy.

Other than that there has just been life and the day to day of living. So until next time, keep writing.

Flow With It Friday

Okay so I didn't really want to have specific days for anything that I post here and yet I have come up with names for at least two days worth of postings per week. So with that thought I am going to try to post a new poem every Friday. They won't always be new poems but they will be poems that I have written unless I find one that is really amazing and decide to post it here. Also seeing as they are my poems they are copyrighted to me and I would strongly appreciate it if no one uses them without my written permission. Thank you so much and without further ado here is your first poem.

All on my own
And living my life.
Trying with my all
To make everything turn out right.
Knowing that the world
Is resting on my shoulders.
Feeling the loneliness
As the walls around me get bolder.
This life is so different
Then anything I could imagine.
Yet I'm here because
I'm following my passion.
As hard as it may be
To be here on my own.
I know in my heart
I can always find my way back home.

This Just In VBlog 1

Just letting you know what I am working on writing wise. Who knows what will be in next weeks. See ya then.

Suming It Up Saturday

I thought that was a fun title for my weekly review. I don't know if I will stick with it but maybe I will. I guess you will have to check back with me next Saturday to find out :).


As for this week, it was full of ups and crazies. First off I got this blog set up almost exactly like I want it and found a great background for it. I don't want to even tell you about the insane google search for a background that I liked and that worked. Let's just say that this one is my number two choice but my number one kicked my butt and leave it at that.


Still I have most of my pages set up. I still need to add content to my "About Me" page and a few extra's that I might want to post. I also haven't come up with my title for my video blog or the music (if you missed the drama refer to the previous blog post) but I do know what the first one is going to be about.

I also started my genealogy blog which I have to admit is where most of my time went this week. I found some interesting family names and have been working to put the pieces together. It's been hard because I am about a hundred plus years back. It is crazy when you say it that way but when you are thinking of who's father it is and how many great's there are it doesn't seem like so much. So unforunately my writing hasn't been what I wanted it to be. Which is okay. At least for one week.

Next week is going to be different. I have a plan to divide my time so that now that all of the blogs are set and proper then I can concentrate on updating and posting at regular intervals and get down to some serious editing and writing. I really want to be done with the first edit of "Intersected" by the end of the month and I am still debating whether I am going to do the April month long writing challenge. That announcement will be made next week and will depend on a number of factors.

In a bit of exciting news, I found a writer's workshop that is being held here in April and I have put in on my calendar. I am really excited and looking forward to speaking with other writer's in the area and hopefully finding out about maybe some writer groups that I can join or other workshops that I can take that can help me to develop as a better writer. So I will be filling you in on that later.

That is about it for my week. I will sum it up again for you next Saturday and you'll be able to see if I kept the same name :). Until then; keep writing.

It's So Hard

I am working on a title for my first vblog and let me tell you that it is hard. I want something fun as a intro. Something that sounds and looks like me. But finding the right pictures without looking like I am completely in love with myself is not that easy and don't even get me started on music. Not to mention, where am I going to record my wonderful video's each week. I would normally say my house but like the only rooms in this place that doesn't look like Santa threw up in it is the kitchen, bathroom and my bedroom. And even the kitchen and bathrooms have a few Christmas knick-knacks in them (that would be thanks to dad). Now don't get me wrong, I like ya'll but I'm not sure that I'm ready to invite you into my bedroom. That might actually be a different type of video blog and I know that I'm not ready for that. Which brings us back to the original question, where am I going to record it?

Then there is music which is a bigger problem. I love music. I am a huge fan of almost every type of sound. So how do you sit down with thousands of songs and find one that works really well for what you want? Right now I am leaning toward three different one. Ooops, make that four. I thought about using one at that beginning and a different one at the end but I'm still not sure because even if I do that then that still means I have to narrow down my four to two. So many decisions but one way or another, even there is no musice, there will be a video blog next week. And maybe even this week if I can get it together.

Until later, Keep writing.

What's To Come

Hello everyone, I think I have finally figured out exactly what I want this blog to be. I will admit that at first I was trying very hard to copy and not to copy another writer's blog but then I remembered, I'm an original :).

I like things how I like them and the idea of making a schedule to keep me on track and to thinking of different things to play up to a theme just doesn't work for me. I am more of a free spirit which anyone that knows me can tell you that. With that being said, I do still think that this page needs structure. If I don't have a plan of attack then I will either write one a month or not update at all. Or I will try to write everyday like I did when doing NaNoWriMo. This wouldn't be a bad thing if I was doing another month long writing contest but at last I'm not (at least not yet). So I have come up with some ideas and ways that I hope will keep it interesting in here.

Each week there will be a video blog for your enjoyment. I'm not sure what the topics of each one will be but I will work very hard to make them interesting. I will also be posting poetry here. I would like to post a new poem every week but I am not going to promise that. Unlike a story or novel; to me poetry is something that has to be written in the moment. The feeling has to be there in order to really make it good. That or you need a strong theme. Lastly, since this is my writing blog and is set up mainly so that I can keep everyone posted on what I am working on then I will be updating you all on my writing each and every week.

There you have it. At least a much as I can give you now. So until next time, keep writing.

A New Beginning

Welcome to my new home away from home. I know that during NaNoWriMo I had my other website but with a new year always comes a new look and this is my new look. I figured that I was trying to do to much with the other site. As much as I would like to believe that I am a world renowned writer unforunately at this stage of the game I am not. Thus why I decided to scale back some so that I can keep up better with updating and posting my writing progress and letting you all know when anything exciting is coming out. With that said I am trying to come up with a schedule of post so that I'm not bombarding this site with post when I should be writing or not updating at all. I am also looking at continuing my video blog but adding it here. That should be interesting. And I am getting back into my poetry writing, at least that is the goal, so I am going to work that in here as well. In other words this site should be pretty busy. Once I get on track though I am committing to sticking to the schedule even if I don't post until 11:58pm :). I guess that is it until I get a better handle on what I am setting up. Until then, Keep Writing.
