A Man's Strength

The strength of a man is not in his hands, 
but in the woman that believes in him--Marie Dai'Re

Different Again, Please

I’m normal only I wasn’t in my other world, Am I boy, animal or am I a girl, I was far from typical, and that meant I wasn’t miserable, I didn’t live in a beautiful house, and my father was a man, not a mouse My mother had a husband not a spouse, my siblings were not pretend but real But somehow I made a really unspeakable deal, Green grass, my ass, I could suddenly feel, I’m falling fast, tumbling through the grass, and broken trees, Have to wake up, but how, I must fall on my knees Normal’s too much, there’s no clutch, I want to go back to different again, PLEASE

Pitch Potential

I read a blog by Rachelle Gardner, I try to read her blogs every chance I get, about Pitching Your potential. Her points were, and to me are always great points. She discuss a writers,(me included)pursuit of publication and the worry we as writers have when ready to publish "What have you published in the past?" She's right when she talk about how we as writers feel about that question (worry of not being taken seriously if we haven't published any past books, or if we have, how well or not so well has that book done and how will it affects us). She's also right when she says that many writers don't have a track record. However, she gives great pointers,and information that could help-- like: HIGHLIGHTING YOUR POTENTIAL. She states that agents and editors may be swayed by your potential more than your track record. In her blog she gives ways that we as writers can sell that potential: Be Exciting (make every pitch unique and compelling, Have a large bag of tricks (don't pitch just one idea), Know how to network (have a following), Let every word shine (make people love your writing, ideas). The list can go on and on, and if you've gotten anything out of my blog, I'm happy. If you want to know more about pitching, feel free to visit Rachelle Gardner's blog, I'm sure she won't mind. We are all here to help each other. Good luck guys and happy writing!

Where's the Perfect Place to Write?

As an author, a comfortable place to write would be the perfect place. Some authors find that being outdoors--in an open space, or surrounded by people, inspires, brings out their best. Me myself, I like to write in quiet places--alone, most of the time. I find that being alone brings out my best. I am able to build my characters in ways that I know most people would find a bit insane if they actually saw me in action (So for the sake of saving them from that thought and myself from the embarrassment), I write alone. ;) But,for me, my tactic works: dialogue is so important to me when it comes to my characters. I become them-- it's my way of bring them alive. In reality, there is no right or wrong place for a writer, it's where you breed your best. There is no one place to write, no right or wrong place to sit your laptop. The important thing is bring those characters to life and getting your readers to love, enjoy,and even hate certain characters...and most important--leave them wanting more... And when and if you can pull that off-- you've won half the battle!

Your Tears, We will Never Forget...

A horrific tragedy happened in Colorado involving many. An armed man, twenty-four-years-old, I think was his age. He opened fired in a theater full of people out for a night of fun for the long awaited movie 'The Black Knight'. I guess I waited to write about this because it was just too painful to touch on. But then I got tagged in a post from one of my niece's from the website http://aminiatureclaypot.wordpress.com so-you-still-think-god-is-a-merciful-god
 ...I read the post and I cried.The lady who wrote the post had been inside the theater along with her two daughters...

 That post allowed me to understand but also to bring back to me something that I already knew, but as most times we do as human-beings, when life is just moving along and we get so caught up in self, allowing those things that are important, and some not so important to slip from our thoughts-- but the truth is Evil do exist.

The reality and outcome of that...God prevails. My heart goes out to every family that was unfortunatly touched forever by such a nightmare and especially those that were murdered by the hands of this lost souls evilness and I pray that in time they will all rest easier. And that they know we will never forget or stop praying for them...

The Reader

I was reading a blog post by Rachelle Gardner titled 'Does Social Media Leave US Over-Exposed' She touched on a subject that I as well as, I'm sure many authors think about, but may not realize the important's of. As an author, I tweet, and Facebook, although not as much as I should, but I would like my readers to know that no matter how much time I give anything in my life, I give 110 percent of me to my writing. Know that I will always give you the enjoyment you deserve... Without you, there is no need to tell my story... Thank you guys so much for your support and friendship...it means so much...
