Fresh and airy

As you can see, Ive updated my blog. I thought a fresh look was in order, though I do tend to go toward the darker side of images, I thought a good dose of pleasant would go easy on the eyes. So there you have it. I'm still working out the kinks with all of this, being a newbie to blogging. Ive seen some eye-catching pages that really draw me in and keep me on the page, I hope mine does that as well. On a side note: Have you voted today for Write Club 2014? If not, here's your chance to make your choice from the first two entries here .

We need your votes! Every one counts. And congrats to the two entries posted today!

-till next time

Muse Sunday :-)

Well, today I can say that I exceeded my word count goal! All day the words just flowed out of me. In addition to that I went and did some revising to early chapter, (because I just cant help myself :/). Now, I realize its 10 pm and I missed Game of Thrones :(. But, what that tells me is that there are good days and not so good days in writing. Today, was definitely a good day. And tomorrow, fingers crossed, is the Write Club 2014 post of the 32 contestants that made it past the submissions. Which I hope is also a good day. Good luck to everyone that entered and thank you to all the judges that took time out of their lives to read all of the entries.

Good Luck to everyone that entered. I'm nervous myself, this being the 1st contest I've ever entered. Though I find myself more excited to read the entries and have the chance to vote along side everyone. All in all this is a great way to connect with other writers and hopefully get the chance for feedback and learn some things along the way. A big thank you to DL Hammons for making this possible. The first step is always the most difficult ;.

I'm anxiously awaiting the post of the 32 entries that made the cut to round 1 of Write Club. Good luck to everyone that entered, I look forward to reading all the submissions.

Rainy Days and Writing Breaks

I usually love rainy days, the gloom outside my windows is suprisingly....inspirational. But the last week here in NE PA has been, to say the least...uninspirational to the 10th power :/. So today, I saved and closed my best friend for the last year (said word document containing a world that I imagine would scare the hell out of me if I was really there), and signed into my neglected blog. Ive been feeling guilty with myself really, sometimes the story im attempting to write consumes every thought in my head, and sometimes it refuses to come out, i imagine the story itself is stopping me from going any further....you see, it wants to go one way, and I of course, want it to go somewhere else entirely. So at the moment, we are at a standoff, silly as it sounds, eventually the story will gain its strength and push me to follow down its rabbit hole, instead of mine. My green must be showing as far as being a blogger, I dont know if anyone could relate to this, but when im not writing my manuscript (or giving it the stare of persuasion), I feel like any other writing I do could be better spent working on said manuscript. But I digress, any writing is good and as im filling in the blankk spaces here, it does feel good, connecting, sharing, telling, releasing.

I look at blogs probably daily and I've come to an opinion, we all want to share something that will inspire someone even for a brief moment, If you're reading this, then I hope you somehow connected with even a few words, and I think my therapeutic exercise in blogging has pulled me over a hump that I thought would last for days. Write, write, write -- if its all you can do but to sit and get words down, then you're meant to keep sitting down and getting those words down. I'm pulling for you, without ever knowing who you are, because in the end, anyone passionate enough to store a world not of their own inside their head, and spin that into a story to share with anyone who will read it. Is EXTRAORDINARY..til next time :)
