A Writer's Life

  I know that I haven't blogged for awhile.  I think I was in a transition mode.  I cleaned my room, organized my writing supplies and started to write my newest novel in longhand.  I know that computers are easier and that is the future. My printer stopped printing.  I don't want to buy a new printer at this time.  I don't want to type the book into the computer, and not be able to print it out. I like to read a hard copy.  I forget what happened in Chapter 3 when I am writing Chapter 15 and then I have to scroll up and find out what I had written.  I always print out what I type into the computer. So I decided to do it in longhand first to get my ideas on paper. This is going to be a 500 page book.  I am shooting for a longer book, there is alot of stuff I want to put into it. It is a quest book.  The characters are on a quest and will meet alot of different people and places. So I am going to write the book in longhand, because I know...

  I was just on  KDP   And they are working on Hard Cover Books you can select when you are Self- Publishing.  I think that is great news. I never really cared about whether it was Paperback or Hard Cover, but now the book that I am working on is a longer book.  Goal is around 500 pages.  That would be so cool to have that book in Hard back.  I realize that it might be more expensive, but this will be the longest book I have ever written, and I would like that to be in Hard Cover, just to hold if nothing else.  So I am excited about that. They are still working on it.  But that would be cool.  Something to strive for, something to look forward to. So I know that I have not posted for awhile.  I have been in thinking, plotting and organizing mode. I have an idea of a Fantasy Novel, though I don't know if that is what others would call it, because it is connected to the Bible, anyway.  I organized my room, gathered my writing sup...

 Here I am in 2011, This is the first book I Self-Published.  I now have 80 E-Books on Amazon and some of them are in Print. Does anyone care if I write and get published?  No.  No one around me cares.  That is a fact of life.  If I write or don't write does not affect people around me. I write because that is who I am.  I am a writer.  I can not stop writing.  I have tried.  I would like nothing more than to sit on the couch with a bag of chips and dip and watch movies, but the voices in my head, won't let me.  They want their story written.  So I write. I write for myself.  I don't write for anyone, except God. God has told me the books to write. I started out as a Zombie Writer.  I like writing Zombie Books. Then One day, God spoke to me.   God said to me, "I let you have your fun, now I want you to write the books I want you to write.  that is what I am doing. I have written The Cross, That Bible La...

 This is new for me.  I started out as a Romance Writer,  Moved to Paranormal Romance Writer to Zombie Writer to Christian Writer.  Now I am venturing into being a Fantasy Writer. So I will blog on how my writing is going.  This is what I have done so far: 1.  I googled world building and found a great PDF to print out  (Google The Ultimate Worldbuilding Template and print it out or save it on your computer. 2.  Went and bought new notebooks and 1 sketchpad notebook.  The sketchpad notebook I am using for my drawings (Not that I can draw at all) and to place important ideas or whatever for a quick reference. 3.  I went online to find pictures of my characters.  I looked at book covers to find my pictures  (Google premade bookcovers)  I printed out the covers, cut out what I wanted and placed them in my sketch pad.  I also Goggled Fantasy Characters.  Just to find pictures of what I want my characters to look like...

  Amazon THAT CRAZY CHICKEN LADY   AMAZON It is easier than you think to publish a Print copy on Amazon.  It might take some time but basically you download the template for the size of book you want and then insert your file into that template. I am very proud and excited about That Crazy Chicken Lady.  It is a romantic comedy about a Megan you inherits her Grandmother's farm and Megan hates the outdoors and ends up raising chickens.  It is a fun read and also talks about living in these last days. Believe it or not, but this world is a mess and these two books Prepare Yourself for the Rapture and That Crazy Chicken Lady is all about how to survive in these last days before Jesus comes back. Chickens is a great food source. for eggs and meat.  All you need is a Rooster to do his thing and you can hatch chicks over and over again.   Even if you are not a Believer of Jesus Christ, you have to see the signs of what is going on in the world. So ...

Amazon We are living in  the Last Days before the Rapture. and That Crazy Chicken Lady and Prepare Yourself for the Rapture is for today. I am excited about these two books. Keep writing.
