The Musings of a Bored and Browsing Girl

Bored.

Browsing the net.

Chatting with folks on AW, laughin my ass off to be honest. But it's not fast enough to keep my ADD (or so I call it) in check, so I do other things at the same time.

The point?

I've been sitting here listening to some music on my new MP3 player (shush, I'm broke), and so I decided I needed some new music. I make up this whole list of songs that I want to find and someone says they'll do it for me. Sweet!

Yeah, not so much. They said, "I'll do it right now." But it's not done....and this is three hours later mind you.

Next subject:

I was wondering why, when I'm typing something like this I can go fast, faster than a hot rod. My fingers just fly across the keys. But then when I go to type something from something that's handwritten, I slow down. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I am already Queen of the backspace key, but it only gets worse when I'm typing from something longhand.

And finally:

Are you completely bored with my nonsense already? I don't blame you. I can't believe you're still reading this to be honest. I probably would have given up already. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz That's what this post brings to my mind, but oh well. As I'm the one who's writing it, and not stopping, I can't really say much on that subject. Anywho, so my last subject is on.... crap, I got nothin.

So what was the point of this post?

There wasn't one.

Haha, made ya look. :P

My First Time

This is my first time doing this. I don't know if it's going to last long or how long I'll keep remembering to do it but I'll do my best. Yada, yada, blah, blah, blah. You'll probably be seeing a lot of that in here cause I do a lot of that. Ramble on and on about uninteresting things and barely is there ever a coherent thought in it.

I'm a writer trying to be published. It's hard work. My first book was finished in a few months with the first draft and it's been two years since then. Two years of rewrites and editing and more rewrites. I'm still not done. It's a work in progress and I will not stop until it's done as well as can be by me. I refuse to give up on this, it's my baby. I also have 7, yes I said 7, other WIPs. My first book is in the M/T/S genre, as well as another 3. My other 4, one of which I just started today, are in the Fantasy genre.

I like writing in the M/T/S genre a lot but I LOVE writing my fantasy novels. Witches are always my MCs, I have one story with a vampire in it, but the others have various different demons/evil entities/creatures/whateverthehellyouwannacallem.

I could write about witches for hours. I love doing the research for my fantasy novels versus my others. I could just write it all without doing any research, you know, make it however I want to, but I like to use mythology, demonolgy, all different avenues of information for my work. It's tremendous fun to read up on all those things. To check out the numerous websites devoted to that sort of thing. To browse the killer pics, even if I don't plan on using them, that people have created and put on the web. So cool!

So much going through my mind that I want to say but half of it I can't seem to find the words to use that will do them justice.

Oh! Yes! My opportunity to talk about the best place freakin' place on the web for an aspiring writer. Absolute Write (http://www.absolutewrite.com/) is the most amazing website. The best part about it, aside from all the help you get there (their information seems endless) is all the people that are there. They are all so helpful and don't sugarcoat critiques if you don't want them to. They tell you straight out what's wrong with your writing and try to help you fix it. They are the best! Of course not everyone gets along with everyone else, this is the real world after all, but anyone can make friends there. Trust me, I know. :) That place has helped me so much in my writing it would take days to describe it all. They have everyone ranging from new writers to writers who have been published once, and even more than that.

Ok, I think that's enough for today. I'll try and keep this up.
