#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...

Thursday’s Children March 21, 2013

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 kno...

TrueTwit is Spam

Why I will Block you and report you for SPAM (you read right) if I receive a DM like this: “____ uses TrueTwit validation service. To validate click here: ____” minutes/hours/days after I took the time to follow you. Spam: When you use this service, it will send me a direct message with a link to click to confirm THAT I AM HUMAN, right after I follow you. There, does that sound like spam? I followed you to know more about you, to see what you tweet about, not to be followed back upon confirming that I am REAL. Clearly, SPAM. First : I don’t want my DM to be filled with links—from people I followed—to CONFIRM what I am! Thank you very much. Second: my DM is for private messages. How about you send a tweet, mentioning me, saying: “ARE YOU HUMAN? YOU FOLLOWED ME, I WANT TO FOLLOW BACK, BUT I’M TOO LAZY TO LOOK AT YOUR BIO OR RECENT TWEETS TO FIND OUT.” Block: If I report you for spam, I will also block you. If you read Spam , then Block is just th...
