Ramblings of an Amateur Author
So I wake up, back is still hurting. I take a shower, get ready for my 9-5 if you know what I mean.
(I'm still working from home so the commute is a piece of cake :)) I forced myself to finish up the short story of Danielle and Pawpaw. I enjoyed how the story came through my mind and onto the paper.
Some people will say you need to do an outline. I myself just write what I feel during the moment. Sure through time it gets edited and edited and moved and changed according to how it sounds when I read it, but I am the type of person who gets a thought in my mind and has to let it play out on the keyboard.
With all that said, I read my recently released "An Addicts Journey Home, The Tale of Two Sisters"
Wouldn't you know it, I found a paragraph that was not indented. UGHHHHH. of course, being that I self publish I went straight away to correct that. I re-read and re-read and re-read so much I think that there are going to be times that I may miss something.
I can't help myself, but when I'm reading other books I see things wrong and tell myself, well this word should have been spelled this way or that way. I'm not being mean to the author, I'm just making an observation. I mean heck, I'm reading their book, they have it going on. LOL
I just finished book five of the Shadow and Light Series. OMG, I can't put these books down when I get them. I started about a year ago and read them when I had time. Now that I'm about to start book six of the 7 book series, I read book five in 1 week. I'm seriously addicted.
I can't get enough of books that are in series. I tend to get lost in their world's and don't want to get out. I mean most of them are with Scifi characters and I don't want them to see me because I would probably get killed, but I want to just observe HAHA!
I often wonder why I can't come up with those types of worlds since I read them so much, but my brain just doesn't work that way. I work more in real life, but not so real type of way. I deal with people, places and things instead of fantasy, but when it comes to reading, fantasy, Scifi is my thing!
I hope everyone is having a great Monday, I come on here to just blow off some steam since I've come to a dead spot in my writing in general. It helps me kind of get the pump I need to write my stories.
Weird, but being able to ramble on here helps me actually get in the headspace to write my stories.
Oh By the way, I have recently uploaded our recent videos of our sistersisterliveshow onto our youtube channel. Yeah we went and got fancy and created a youtube channel. I mean as fancy as you can get in your 40's and learning on your own through other youtube channels HAHA!
