#365DaysLater: Day One

-
So today I thought I was going to be able to write. A lot. Since I have most of the words I want to put down in my mind, but I had a pretty busy day.

1) I went to Lowe's and bought potting soil for my garden (yes, I have one). Everything I planted were seeds, so there is a 75% fat chance not many will grow and succeed. It took me about 2 hours to finish that, but it is done. It was a pretty cold day, then it was a bit hot. Today (Sunday) it's supposed to be warm. So hopefully the seeds understand I planted them on cold, rainy today for a reason.

2) I needed walking shoes, so I had to run to the store and get some. By the way, I stopped by Payless, because they sell amazing comfortable shoes there. And I found them! Two pairs. Around $50 both. And I got a coupon they gave me there for 20% off my purchase, so it came out to be $40 for both pairs of shoes, which I love...wearing one pair right now.

3) I had to do laundry, and all my clean clothes are now on my bed. Hopefully not for long. I will try to fix them before I go to bed, or I'll just move them... You get the idea.

4) I got a call from an aunt that a friend of a friend of hers needs 2 (TWO) huge pinatas, so I will be working on those really soon. I am charging her $30 for each one, since she put the price tag on them. So $60 dollars for about 4 hours of work. I could do worse.

5) I went to practice with the cones for the driver's test, but I SUCK. I SUCK BADLY. The thing is basically impossible. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA. Not. Funny. I find it hard. So I have a lot, a lot of work to do. I think the cones will be ran over by my car so much by the time I learn, I'll have to buy my godfather new ones.
PS: My brother also sucks.

6) My day ended with me going to the store and basically buying a BUNCH of books. Let me count them and I'll tell you just how many....

Around 12 new books. I didn't REALLY buy them because I want to read them and love the story. I bought them because (and I hope I'm not the only who does this), when I sit to write, I like to take breaks by opening a book just wherever and...read. Just read. Words. Words. Not mind the plot. So yeah, fat books.

7) Right now, I am writing on folders. Physical folders, because I have so many ideas. Random ideas, and I want to be able to place them somewhere. For example, they might fit in a scene for a book I'm thinking of writing.

If I can manage to fix all these folders, and write AT LEAST 1,000 words, I will share the first page of the new content I have for my novel T. R. Orbs.

Rustic Stars: Release Day!

It’s Release Day for RUSTIC STARS!* *Throws glitter in the shape of stars as he dances around you* I honestly didn’t tell a soul when this book would come out. So about two weeks ago, I decided to do it on December 4, , 2015. Then I went from there. It was a lot of work getting everything together in such a small time frame, but it happened. Cover, design…everything. I had a lot of help from a very special friend to do the Ebook, and I can’t even thank her enough! *Bear hugs her* Any who, if you know me, or have ever heard me talk about my book, you should know that my book has a gay character. Fair warning. I had a lot of people tell me bad stuff about it, which ALWAYS made me want to stop. And when they heard it was romance, more bad comments. But fantasy is good, right? Comments such as: “Gay people don’t read,” “Gay romance is BORING,” “I wouldn’t read that book, because it sounds sad.” Among others. None bad, but all made me question. My book is not intende

Inspired by tradition... A weekly blog hop where writers share their inspirations. Please join us! I entered Facebook and saw so many pictures! I love pictures. As you might know, this week is Holy Week . It is celebrated in the town where my novel takes place, which is why I was inspired to write this post. Whenever I see something, I always think of ways I can incorporate elements in my work. This happens to be the case. The tradition is that a bunch of guys dress in colorful cloths and mask themselves! Are you following? They have a whip! Some have bags filled with seeds. They chase people (usually children) still, people, and ask for money. Creepy yet? If you don't give them money, they will WHIP YOU! I'm serious! They will literally hit you with their whips. And it hurts like hell. What I'm saying, if you don't have change (money), stay away from town! So here I am thinking: masked men, asking for money. Now, there is s

Inspired by a friend A weekly blog hop where writers share their inspirations. Please join us! This week I've been struggling to edit my novel for two reasons: no time, and lack of knowledge/closure. As you might or might not know, my novel takes place in Tlazazalca, Michoacan . Tlazazalca is a town, Michoacan is a state in Mexico. If you are wondering why my novel takes place there, well, it is because I am from there. Okay, I lied. My novel takes place there because it tells a folklore legend that exists there, although  it is dying, because not many people know it. The old generation tell it, the young generation don't care about it because their minds have been stuffed with reality. Anyways, me being away from the town where my novel takes place is a struggle. I had to do a lot of research, get places right, things, facts, etc. I spent two months reading the history of the town. Did any of it stuck in my head? NO! I was told by someone who knows a lot ab
