Hobbies and Random Things

One of my favorite authors is Jessica Verday. She wrote an amazing series of books The Hollow, The Haunted, and The Hidden. This trilogy in and of itself is amazing, and now I'm reading The Beautiful and the Damned. It's just as great as her other three books.
Reading has always been a pleasure of mine. I love being swept away to places like Sleepy Hollow, or taking a trip into the future in Shatter Me. It makes me happy to read a great mystery by Todd Strasser.
It's no surprise to anyone that along with reading, writing is a passion of mine. I am going through the ever so painful editing process now. I'm almost done my first edit, and then I'll move on to the second, third, or even fourth.
Writing for me is a mental release. It calms, soothes, and helps my scattered mind to find peace for a little while. I am so grateful for the ability to write.
I also like to help others by reviewing their work, beta reading, and even just giving an opinion here and there. It helps me feel as if I am still a productive person even if I am limited in what I can do now.
My other hobby besides reading and writing is collecting movies and tv shows. Right now my son and I are addicted to Enterprise. It rocks. We have a ton to choose from so we are never at a loss for something to watch. We actually have the opposite problem. It's hard to choose what to watch when we have so much to pick from.
Listening to music helps to calm me as well. I love good music like Evanescence, Metallica, and Three Days Grace. Music can definitely help calm me down,
and make me feel better.
Well, now you know some of my hobbies. Until next time!

It Has Been So Long!!!!

I haven't blogged in such a long time. I have finished the rough draft of my novel, and have moved onto the rewrite and revision department. I love it so much!!!

I have also been doing a lot of reading on my own and with my family. As a family we are currently reading The Immortals series by Alyson Noel. She is one of my all time favorite authors. On my own I have read My Blood Approves and Fate by Amanda Hocking. She is so amazing. her books are almost impossible to put down once you start. I am blaming those books for not being closer to finishing my own novel. I've also started reading Anne Frank and Me by Cherie Bennett and Jeff Gottesfeld. So far an amazing read! I have also become addicted to The Hollows series by Jessica Verday.

I am really hoping that my book will get published. It is every author's dream to see their book on a shelf in a book store, or seeing it on the best seller list. I would love to know that my books make some sort of impact in this world for good. We shall see!!!!
