  • Beautiful Demons: My First Novel is Out Now!

    Haven’t blogged here in a while, but this news is BIG. My first published novel is available now! BEAUTIFUL DEMONS is the first book in the Peachville High Demons series. All together, I am planning five books in the series. The second book, INNER DEMONS, is my NaNo WriMo 2010 project. If you don’t know what NaNo is, it’s National Novel Writing Month where thousands of writers across the globe pledge to write 50,000 words in a single month. It starts tomorrow night at midnight, and I can’t wait! If you want to add me as a buddy, my user…

  • Plagued by Headaches

    The last couple of days, I have been feeling pretty crappy. Mostly, it’s the headaches. No matter what I take (Excedrin, Aleve, Ibuprofen) or what I do (Neti-pot, sit with ice pack, heating pad), nothing seems to get rid of it. I have no idea if it’s an allergy thing or a sinus thing or a tension thing. /shrug. All I know is that it hurts. This morning is actually better, but the headaches have been setting in around 3 or 4 and not letting go for the rest of the night. In fact, last night I took a benadryl…

  • Productivity Booster

    No matter how hard you work, there is always more that needs to get done. So much so that it can get overwhelming pretty fast. When I feel overwhelmed or I feel like there’s so much to do that I will never be able to finish it or reach my goals, my first reaction is to freeze. I’m not saying it’s logical, but it happens. Doing nothing at all is the worst thing I could do, and yet that’s my typical reaction. Unless something forces me into action like a payment due or a meeting that I just can’t miss,…

  • Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D

    Zombies in 3D? Pure awesome. But first, an update on my life. I haven’t been updating much, I know. I’m sorry! I have been working on several big projects and thinking about starting a new blog that is less random and more specific. I have started a new novel I’m calling BEAUTIFUL DEMONS. I put PANDEMIC aside for now and am letting it sit before I go back to revise again. Things are good, just busy. I just wanted to write a quick post to say how much I enjoyed the newest Resident Evil movie. This is the 4th movie…

  • Update: My Vision Board

    I finished! Here’s a look at my personal vision board: It is full of affirmations and goals and dreams of what my future will be. I know that I already have the most important ingredient for my own happiness – my amazing husband. He’s everything I ever dreamed of in a life partner, and more. Now, it’s just a matter of us working together to achieve the rest of our dreams. Hopefully this vision board will help us to focus on those goals and get motivated to work toward them every day!

  • Creating My Vision Board

    My goal for today is to create a “vision board”. So what is a vision board? As I understand it, it’s a place where I can put my goals and where I want to be in the future into visual images and affirmations. For example, I want to focus on losing weight and getting healthy. In the future, I see myself as someone who is thin, beautiful, and healthy. Last night, I cut out pictures of healthy food, exercise equipment I want to use, and words like ‘beautiful’ and ‘go the extra mile’. Weight loss is just one part of…
