New Years Resolutions

With the year 2015 almost at an end. I decided to post my New Years Resolution list. 

Writer Goals

1. Get an agent. This has to be my biggest goal that I have yet to accomplish. People seem the criticize that just because I'm young I shouldn't really try for an agent. Veronica Roth got her agent when she was in college, so it's possible.

2. Finish the fantasy series I outlined. I wrote a fantasy series that was bugging me, and whether or not it ever gets published who knows. Maybe if it was a two book series when the time came provided I get an agent.

3. Read more adult books. So far the only books I mostly read are New Adult and Young Adult. I have a hard time finding adult books since I read a lot of popular ones when I was in middle school. I'm venturing into historical at the moment. Plus an author friend of mine has a historical coming out in March which I am extremely excited about.

Personal Goals

1. Lay off caffeine. As a nutrition major you would think I would know coffee is bad for me but I still can't help myself. My goal is to to try and lay off how much coffee I drink. Plus I tend to stay up at night. 

2. Write my recipe alterations. I really don't have a goal to lose weight because I'm a nutrition major so I eat healthy enough as it is. I decided that I should go about sharing with the world how to enjoy the recipes they love while substituting the ingredients to make it healthier. I don't know if I will make it into a cookbook for if I get my agent for fiction, do a Youtube channel, or post on a blog.

3. Looking for a better part time job. I like my job I have right now, but it's not what I am going to school for. So I have decided that I will want to look for something else.

I hope within the next years I can try to accomplish some of these goals. Happy New Year everyone!

Another Year Completed

This has to be some record of how many book I can write before I end up getting an agent. I want to see if I can get an agent with the historical fiction I wrote. This one took me faster to write because it was a contemporary thriller. So all I had to do was worry about plot.

I'm going to finish with the last edits on my historical that I was really excited about writing for the first time. Then I can hop back to this one when I send out the queries.

INSPIRE (Book 1):

Kalliope lives with one purpose. To inspire. As an immortal muse, she doesn’t have any other choice. It’s part of how she was made. Musicians, artists, actors—they use her to advance their art, and she uses them to survive. She moves from one artist to the next, never staying long enough to get attached. But all she wants is a different life— a normal one. She’s spent thousands of years living lie after lie, and now she’s ready for something real. Sweet, sexy, and steady, Wilder Bell feels more real than anything else in her long existence. And most importantly… he’s not an artist. He doesn’t want her for her ability. But she can’t turn off the way she influences people, not even to save a man she might love. Because in small doses, she can help make something beautiful, but her ability has just as much capacity to destroy as it does to create. The longer she stays, the more obsessed Wilder will become. It’s happened before, and it never turns out well for the mortal. Her presence may inspire genius. But it breeds madness, too.  

And check out the gorgeous cover for INFLICT, coming January 2016!

 

About INFLICT (Book 2):

Wilder Bell made a dangerous bargain... For a chance at love, he gave up his life. History knew Kalliope as an ancient Greek muse, but to Wilder, she was simply the woman he wanted to fall asleep with every night and wake up next to every morning. He made a deal with Hades, but the only thing the Lord of the Underworld deals in is death. Now Wilder is wasting away in a cold and wretched afterlife, waiting for Kalli to come for him. She will come. He has to believe that. Because the alternative is worse than death. Kalliope lived her entire existence knowing that she was both a blessing and a curse to anyone she encountered. Wilder was no different. She loved him, and she got him killed. Now to get him back, she’ll have to face a scheming god, a perilous task, and death itself. But before it’s done, the Underworld will take more from her than she ever thought possible. To be made whole, all must first be lost.

Adrianna nodded her head. She was about to get into the carriage before she turned around.

            “Carlos I need to ask one thing from you,” Adrianna said. “Not as your queen but as a friend.”

“What is it?” Carlos asked.

“Promise me that you will look after my mother,” Adrianna said.

            “I promise,” Carlos said. “Your grace.”

            Adrianna shook her head. “Carlos how many times must I ask you to call me Adrianna,” she said.

            “Once more my queen,” Carlos said. “If the regent hears me not calling you by your nobility I could lose my head.”

Update

I have been AWOL for a while but that's because I have been working, and correcting my two stories to get one ready for #PitchWars.

The reason I have been so busy is because I got a dog!

I named her Dutchess, and she is a rescue! She is the sweetest husky you could ever meet. So you can see I have been occupied. She doesn't like to be alone but she makes great company for when I am writing!
