Oh how I miss Evan and Eve. And Kenny. And Ari and Gray. I never thought something created in my mind could be so personal and that I would miss it. But I do. I really don't know if anything else will feel like Wingless. I am enjoying writing other things but Wingless is in my soul. That is all.
No wait.... I started a Wingless Playlist, I think I am going to make soundtracks for each volume of the book. I listened to lots of specific songs while writing and it would be cool to put them all together. Such as this one for the end of Back to Life. Its called The mess I made by Parachute.

whirlwind of thoughts
I figured I would spew forth some of my thoughts before bed. I have a lot on my mind, such as growing older. Its my birthday, and I really don't have any feelings on it. I'm now 28, I don't feel any different really. No gray hairs or wrinkles yet, so thats good. I guess I can say I am wiser, in all the years your lucky enough to still be alive its best to grow smarter, I mean what else is the point in living if you just get even more stupid?
I was also thinking about writing and why when I want to write is when I am not able to. And then the other times when I could I just don't feel like it. Its a really strange thing. I told the hubs the other day I wish a book could be written in like five minutes because this new one is complete in my mind, now its just a matter of purging it all onto paper.
Also today, I came up with an idea for another WINGLESS, yeah I said it. I think its a beautiful idea and a way to start fresh. I wonder what the readers will think.
My new book is coming along, need to bounce it off of my best friend like I always do to get her thoughts on it. This is what I always do, my process. I write and send her chapters,she reads and we sort of gossip like school girls at lunch about the characters. I guess my aim for this story is another romance but with fresh new characters and this new idea, the idea involves music and tattoos. And I do believe it holds a twist like Wingless that makes it very original.
I started two new books today, and I'm sure anyone who reads my blogs can tell how scattered I am. But yes I started two new books today, Fallen by Lauren Kate. And so far its slow, that doesnt mean I don't like it. But so far kind of has me feeling a bit depressed and dark. That could be because of today really. I sometimes am really bothered when I hear about celebs dying. ( I don't know why) maybe cuz any death scareds the bejeezus out of me. But really its just a sad reality that people can die, and people die when they least expect it. And then I feel horrible thinking about how the people who were close to them feel, and my brain shoves me into this place where I sit and think and try to feel what they are feeling, I'm sure that is why I am a writer haha.
I also started reading Jenny Pox and I actually like it, its gritty and sad. And I love how its kind of raunchy in a good way. So far I am pleased, but poor Jenny.
And as my addiction for music grows larger I am on the prowl for more music. Music is such an obsession I crave it, I literally feel sick almost when I don't hear it each day of my life, I wonder if that is normal. If not I dont care, music makes me feel good, its soothing, it balances my brain, my thoughts, my everything.
And lastly I am working on a new goal: Extreme Couponing!!! I am super excited. I am going to try and do what they do on tv, its almost like a game to see how much I can save. I recently discovered the show, and Nate Berkus had some of the coupon ladies on today and it just really propelled me into the idea. I want to try, I really want to see if I can do it. If anything it should prove interesting.
Alright seeing now that I am 28 I know old people arent suppose to stay up late. So I must get some rest so I don't break a hip tomorrow haha

Back to Life
Alas, Back to Life was published, its done! I am beyond thrilled and relieved and so far I have heard great things! Now that the series is where I want it to be, I am taking a break and enjoying some reading. I am almost finished with Hush, hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. It is an amazing book and I am looking forward to sharing my thoughts on the book. Also I am finishing editing Gypsies and going to redo the cover.
I wanted to talk about a contest I wanted to hold for Nook and Kindle readers, eventually when I am able I will do this for DTB books as well in the series. I want to hold a contest where the prize is all six books in the series. I need to research a little about what to do, I think that would be a really cool prize, I would love to win a whole series from an author, to me that would be awesome.
I will update on here once I figure it out...have a great weekend!!

Celebration
I completed the sixth book in the series, the name of it is Back to Life. I was very happy with the ending, and I can't wait to hear feedback on what my readers think about it. I know some that have been waiting ever so patiently. This has been yet another journey with and ending that tore at my emotions, I worked hard for days on the last couple chapters, and I cried at the end, for many reasons. It was a tough decision but it was the way the cookie crumbled :) I hope everyone enjoys it. Now I am looking forward to trying something totally fresh and new, and also polishing up Gypsies. Oh and speaking of Gypsies I started writing the second book of that one, I do not know when I will venture into it, but I have my start and that will help a lot for the days when I want to return to that story. I really am looking forward to getting some reading in of my own because I do enjoy reading other people's books too. I also want to post reviews of the books I am reading for the readers out there. And do a little more toward promoting my own work.I came up with an idea last night that I possibly will give one person the whole series which would be all 6 of the books, it would have to be some kind of giveaway or contest just not sure what yet.
And lastly I look forward to diving into some new ideas I have, some of my ideas are far out there, and some are just everyday life. Can't wait!!

Triangle
This week I am finishing up volume six in the Wingless series. This song click here The unavoidable thing between us by Evermore has been the theme song for the writing of this book.When I write I don't have any idea how its going to end, it sort of progresses as I move from one chapter to the next. And this book is really tough, there is so much that Eve is trying to deal with, you would think she would be happy. But can she really be happy without Evan, after all he was the love of her life right?
Evan and Kenny are two kinds of love, and they both have done their share of horrid things to her, she loves them both in different ways. So I'm sure it would make sense how she bounces back and forth bewteen the two of them.
As the writer and reader, I tend to bounce back and forth, Kenny probably will always be a favorite because I love how cocky and sure of himself that he is, but then Evan is upstanding and honorable. And even when he does the wrong thing its for the right reasons. They both have lovely characteristics, they both have reasons for loving Eve.
I can't wait to finish this book and see how it turns out, and I also am wondering if there will be another, I guess once I get to the end I will find out. Any thoughts on the topic?

Dear diary
Good morning!
We battled storms all day yesterday here in Ohio, rain and more rain. Even some tornado weather. Nothing like the people in Joplin or anywhere else, my prayers are with them for sure, I couldnt beging to imagine. Living where I have my whole life we have never had a tornado anywhere close, but a couple years ago that actually did happen not to far away from here, it wiped out the whole highschool, scary stuff.
Its the end to a school year almost, and I must say I am pretty thrilled about that in some ways. I plan to make the most of the summer for the kids, let them have a blast before they start back again. Lots of swimming.
We celebrate two birthdays in June in our family, my son's and mine. He is having a Wwe birthday this year, since he is so into wrestling. And I really can't wait for it, going to be great. As for myself, I have never been a fan of birthdays, all I ask is for a gift, and this year I am at a crossroads on what to get. I had an android tablet which had kindle on it, eventually I really didn't like the android tablet so I stopped using it all together, and then we ended up giving it to a family member. But now that I am getting really into reading I'm not sure what to do, I am stuck on Nook Color or an Ipod Touch, my dilemma is this: I used to have an ipod touch and I loved it, this was before they put the cameras and all that on them. I even read books on my ipod, I really loveeeeeeeeee music so some parts of me say get the touch you will have all of that right in one device, then the other part says get the Nook because its bigger, you can play music etc, the only difference is the Nook doesn't have a camera, but I have plenty of cameras so its not really an issue. I even thought about an Ipad 2, but with all the writing I do, I don't think I would really appreciate it,what to do hmmm....
*Wingless Update*
I wrote three chapters in three days, its getting so easy to just crank them out now. I am really happy with the outcomes so far in the story, and I think I finally have figured out the ending for this book!! Everyone always ask is this the last one, and I always say the same thing... "I don't know until the end."
