Horrible Book 3

Writing a horrible book is turning out to be much more of a challenge than I'd originally anticipated. I'm already super behind. I don't anticipate finishing this terrible adventure on time but I think I will attempt to finish it anyway. This horrible book needs to see the light of day. I'm thinking that when it's all said and done I may just self-publish it and give it to people as the kind of present they never wanted. For your viewing pleasure, here's another little excerpt:

"Doesn't a lady usually at least get a kiss on the cheek after the first date?" Molly saw so much joy in the smile John tried to suppress.


"She does," he replied simply.


He took a step, closing the gap between them, and gently cupped his hands on either side of her face. He placed a slow, warm kiss softly on her right cheek and held his forehead to her for a moment, breathing her in, before releasing her almost as if from a spell.


With electricity shooting through her and butterflies dancing in her stomach, her head was in a daze as he reluctantly pulled away. She shuffled into her quarters, sat down on her sofa, and placed a hand to her cheek. Maybe she'd given up on love too soon.

Don't give up, it's just the weight of the world. When you're heart's heavy I, I will lift it for you.

Horrible Book 2

For my audience around the world, here's an excerpt from my horrible book:


She had been devastated at the time. Her heart ached just remembering the pain and loneliness she had felt at 17. When she began her two year internship, working as an assistant to another ambassador, she had initially tried to find a new life partner. At 18, though, most males her age were already partnered. She had gone on one last date at 20, just before she left to move to the station, with an older, widowed man to satisfy her mother but that was the end. She threw herself into her work, bought herself a synthetic cat for company and never looked back. Mostly.


Update: In my google searching I managed to find something that should be infinitely helpful to me: THIS

On a side note, Halloween was a success.

November 1st is upon us! In preparation for beginning to write, I've been taking down lots of notes when ideas come to me and coming up with ideas for my cover art. (Bry is going to be in charge of my cover art.) Today I decided to google "how to write a romance novel". (The first time I saw write, I decided it was the wrong one, and switched it to right. Oops.) First I ended up with a whole lot of nothing. Then I found this: http://www.essortment.com/all/howtowritea_rsev.htm I wish I was capable of writing something worthy of cover art like this:

Oh, what google can find.

To help me with the sci-fi part I'm gonna follow some tips from this place: http://www.ehow.com/how_2188977_write-scifi-book.html

I would love to actually be good at writing science fiction but I know I'll never write anything as amazing as Joss Whedon.

You just can't top this.

And lastly, since I have to cover magic in my story... Well, I think I've got that covered. I have  read all seven Harry Potter books after all.

They've got my back.
