Classic Stories and Modern Tales
There are days (usually when I’m having a bad or tiring day) that I find updating my blog to be tedious. Do you ever get that way? I’d rather be reading or writing or rewatching Game of Thrones for the 3rd time. But I’ve committed to this blog, and I’m not one to give up on commitment. Maybe I just need a little incentive. So without further ado, I’ve come up with my personal dream blogging incentives.
If you haven’t been following this blog, you don’t know that I am about to move for a new teaching job, and I’m about to start a whole new phase in my life. Because of that, I don’t have much time to blog. So this blog is like when your favorite TV show is on a break and you see a rerun. It’s a rerun blog. Enjoy some of my favorite posts I have made in the past. And hopefully I will return next week!
Okay, so I am currently working on my fourth novel (and am hoping to publish the second soon), so I thought we’d play a game. Based on my three favorite songs on my writing playlist for this novel, what specific genre do you think my WIP falls under?
All right folks. What do you think?
Let me preface this by saying that I am an adult. (Sometimes.) I’ve had full-time jobs, and I have lived in my own apartment. The apartment, however, was five minutes from where I grew up. I like where I grew up, so this was not a problem for me. And though I went away to college two hours away from where I grew up, I’ve never actually LIVED any distance from home. College is completely isolated and different. In three weeks, that is changing. I am moving an hour and a half for my new job. And I am scared (good scared, I think, but still scared).

Two weeks ago today, I left for Los Angeles. It was my first time there, which is crazy because I am kind of a movie fanatic. I had a great time, even with the horrible sunburn that I am still recovering from. I have lots of pictures and experiences to share, but I am going to take my time, keep this great vacation going for as long as I can. So I’m going to start by showing off three of my favorite places from my trip to Los Angeles.
I returned from California late last night a little more tan and a lot more tired. I’m thrilled to be back, but I had such a good time and I miss it already. I have enough stories and pictures to last a few blogs, and I will get to them, but right now, I am going to go and take a nap. In the meantime, enjoy one of my favorite pictures I took at Disneyland on my trip.
How has your summer been so far?
I’ll be MIA for the next week or so while I travel to Los Angeles with my best friend. I’m claiming it’s a research trip (my current WIP is about movie stars), but it’s honestly just going to be a nice time for a little R&R. What should I do and see in LA when I get there?
I’ve been doing a lot of research lately on the story of Lancelot and Guinevere for my current WIP (no, it’s not a telling of their story… but my main protagonists are movie stars who met in a film about them), and it got me thinking about love stories. I’ve been reading and watching a lot of them lately, for inspiration, and it makes me realize that I REALLY like love stories (I am a romance writer, after all), so here it is. The first in my many part series: My favorite fictional love stories.
