Updates, and How I felt about The Conjuring

So, I've committed to making sure I write at least 1,000 words a day...no matter what. I'm ready to get Awakening Spring's first draft finally finished and handed over to my wonderful team to rip it to shreds. For me, I think I have the most fun during the re-writes. The first draft, for me, is like the perfect outline for me to build off of.
For awhile I was dealing with some serious writer's block. It was of my own doing. Making excuses, being lazy, you know, the normal things that keep people from doing what they need (and in my case, really want to do, but can't seem to pull myself out of the rut) but damn it all, sometimes I need to know how those kids on So you think you can dance are doing.
*shrug* I'm hopeless, I know.

But, fear not, I'm back on track and have already moved through what I felt was my rough patch. Please keep your fingers, toes, and whatever you like, crossed for me!


The other night, my husband and I decided to hit the movie theaters. I had wanted to see The Conjuring since I had caught a glimps of the trailer a few months back. Anyone who knows me personally, knows that I am a huge paranormal fan, and since I was very familiar with Ed and Lorraine Warren's work I knew I had to go and see this movie.


Based on the true haunting of the Perron family, Ed and Lorraine attempt to help the family who are being terrorized by spirits.
Right the hell up my alley..
Though, personally, I wasn't scared or nervous watching this film (I'm weird, I eat this kind of stuff up in my normal life...so there's that.) I think people would really enjoy this movie. If you want to look up the real story behind the film, I suggest this site to start you off. http://www.chasingthefrog.com/reelfaces/conjuring.php

I did find it hard to suspend my disbelief since I have followed a lot of the Warren's cases, so I knew about the creepy "Annabelle" doll, and even heard about this family's case. 
If you feel like being creeped out, go see this film. But, just keep in mind, this stuff had actually happened. (Some things were dramatized at bit for Hollywood's sake)

Now, you'll know how weird I really am.

So, as you can see, I don't handle writers block very well.

Silliness aside, I really am trying to get Awakening Spring finished.

Signing at Mysterious Galaxy bookstore.

Got to meet some fantastic people at the local author book signing at Mysterious Galaxy.
Like James Matlack Raney who has written "Jim Morgan and the King of Thieves." (We bonded over our nostalgic love of 80's adventure movies)
James Morris who wrote, "Skybound" had just graduated high school that day. He was a creative juggernaut even passing out free copies of his C.D. along with his book.
The only thing I would have changed would have been my rambling speech I made. I was terribly unprepared to speak at the event and rambled on like a teenage vampire fan girl. Thank god there isn't pictures of that.

But, I do have a few pics from the event.






 I know, I NEVER can take a serious photo. It's a problem, I'm seeking help. (No, not really)
This is my excited face.

It's update time!

Well, after a long...long...long procrastination session, I'm back up and running. Working hard on the next installment of the Blood Season Series, and I haven't been this excited about how it's going to go down in a long time.

Just wanted to give you more pictures of my inspiration and where you're going to be taken on in the upcoming adventure.

Ah,ChretienPoint. Isn't it beautiful? Since I don't want to give to much of the game away, just do me a favor and keep this "little" home in the back of your heads.

Plus, some lovely art done by http://blackbirdink.deviantart.com/ (whose art is amazing. You should be clicking that link and indulging yourself in all of her awesomeness.)


Look at them! Quinn and Spring!

More news to be coming soon.
