Thursday Thirteen #138

Welcome back to Thursday to everyone! I know it’s been a little quiet here, but that’s because I’m devouring Angels & Demons on my Kindle. I truly love it and figure it should be the central theme of this week’s Thursday Thirteen.

The Next Idea

I was reading CNN yesterday and found a really interesting story that peaked my interest. I read more today and found even more cool stuff. I then began thinking about this cool story and I think I have a book idea that is really exciting. I’m still formulating it, so we’ll see [...]

I’m still here

Just wanted to blog and let everyone know I’m still alive. My Kindle came on Thursday around 2:00 PM and I’ve been exploring and reading ever since. I must say first that the device is AWESOME. Anyone who discounts it without first trying it has no grounds for their opinions.

For starters, I’ve [...]

Beta Time

As of last night, I’ve finally completed the second round of editing of my Robert book. The story comes in at 130 pages (unformatted) and 56,000 actual words. I think this is a good length and I also think this book has potential to go somewhere. That, though is where my beta [...]

Helping Another Author

Let me start this post by stating I have not read “My Sister’s Keeper”. I know this book has some crazy twist ending. I do not know this ending and I don’t want anyone to tell me, as I intend to read this book when my Kindle arrives. I urge anyone who [...]

Lyrically Speaking for March 9

For this week, I think we need to focus on inspiration. I know the whole point of this weekly post is to inspire, I think there are songs that do the job based on getting you into a writing mood but also there are some that do it based on the lyrics themselves.
