Reading Play and Day 2 on writing

I couldn't stay away from the book. I had to read it even though it strongly smells of burnt plastic and paper. I'm going to feel so bad when I hand this book to the librarian when I return it. They probably won't let me check out a book again after this. It still makes me highly sad when I look at the damage I had done to such a perfectly good book. It was like brand new when I got it, which just makes me feel worse. Anyways, guilt aside lets talk about the book. Our characters Anne and Mal are taking their fake relationship with stride. There was even an almost fake break up that ended with a flooded bathroom and parents unexpectedly showing up. The whole scene was quiet interesting, but they decided to turn their fake relationship into a real one. Anne thinks things are going to end messy, and it might. It also could end up really well. But if it does end badly, I want it to make me cry my eyes out. Just saying.

Also it is day two on my seven day challenge. I'm actually amazed that I'm almost done and haven't run out of what to say yet. Key word is yet. Its most likely to happen, but I don't care. I'm determined to finish this and never have to worry about it again. Anyways, my mom came up with a title for it called Elizabeth, but it might change. I kind of want a title to compliment what I'm writing and to me that just doesn't do it. Me writing this does nothing against the contest I have for Rebellious Love. I'll go back to writing that after this one is done. But I might do a contest for this one as well. Just to keep things interesting. So I got a little less then 5,000 words to do for the night, then I'm free to do what ever. Until tomorrow. But, I'll post another picture because I think you guys are awesome enough to get a little peak in what I'm writing.


So until next time......

Writing a short novel in seven days. Can I do it?

So my best friend Devon thinks I'm crazy to be doing this and she is probably right. But I'm stuck on Rebellious Love and I decided that I'm going to challenge myself and write a short novel in seven days. I have calculated how many words I need to type in order to achieve this insane goal. A month is just too long for me to achieve 50,000 words for Nanowrimo. So I took it up a notch. You may call me crazy. You may tell me that it is highly impossible. But I'm motivated enough to try it. So far I got my daily 7500 words done for today with going a little over. I even posting a picture as proof for those who don't believe me. Anyways, who thinks I can actually pull this off?

(Pay no attention to the part of my mother's face in the corner. I couldn't edit all of her out. But I was able to edit out the All Time Low member I love oh so much more then the others. I don't want to look like a crazy person and have his face on my blog. I'd rather admire from afar since he is way out of my league. Or, is he?)

So until next time.....

Paused reading Play due to my own stupidity

Nothing makes me more sad then dropping a book in some water, or at least that is what I thought. Apparently when you stick a library book in the microwave to dry, they tend to catch on fire. So I can't finish this book. I can try but the smell of burnt pages is not what I want to experience while reading a good book. That is not how a book should smell. But I'm take responsibility to replace the book and I have to wait until it is delivered on the 19th, aka my birthday. Maybe next time I'll remember that libraries have security chips on their books in case someone walks off with it. Not sure who would steal a book, but I'll just go with it. But I'll still remember before putting a wet book in the microwave. I'm surprise I didn't wake up my gramps with the smell of burnt pages. Sorry that I can't finish this book now guys. It was out of complete stupidity and lack of remembering about library security. It still makes me sad to ruin a perfectly good book. So until next time......

Reading Play

Okay, so I'm not as far as I'd like to be in the book. I think it has to do with the fact that I have a family who think reading is a waste of time. I really need to get my own place. Anyways, my writing is also talking a lot of my time. But it doesn't matter, because I'm loving the book so far. Nothing like trying so hard not to laugh while reading, but the leading man just makes me laugh. Mal is a pretty funny dude. Especially when he suddenly moves into Anne's apartment and declares that she is his girlfriend. The guy also set himself up to get hurt in the end because he told Anne that he'd help her get a guy jealous. I think he even hinted it towards her. So I think things are about to get interesting. But I'm also starting to realize that anything to do with Mal isn't going to be boring. He's a little on the dramatic side along with loads of energy. I can't wait until I see where this book ends up. So until next time.....

Started reading Play by Kylie Scott

Okay this is the last new book I got from the library. Also I really need to buckle down on my writing soon because I'm reading more then writing. I'm so behind schedule on that. Anyways, let get a talking about this book. Its the sequel to Lick, the book I read in like a day because I liked it that much. Apparently the whole series revolves around a band and each book is a member of that band finding love. It also doesn't stop me from making interesting comments that revolve around the models on the cover and title. Like with Lick I told my mom that I wouldn't mind licking the guy on the cover all night. My comment for this one is "I wouldn't mind if this guy played with me all night." My mom just looks at me with disapproval. So lets talk about the book and not about me lusting over book cover models. So the book starts with our leading lady, Anne getting screwed over by her best friend. I know exactly how this girl feels. Anyways, she is hugely in a rut and in need of saving. Only problem was that she wasn't going to ask for the help. So the best friend of our leading lady in Lick comes to take her to a party. Just so happens the drummer over hears a conversation Anne was having outside and I believe this is the start of a little arrangement that would help both of them out. I'm not sure, I honestly just started. But I'm going to wrap up my chapter and head off to work on Rebellious Love. I'm still looking for book cover ideas and you might end up with some free books if I choose your book cover. How can you turn down free stuff? So until next time......

Finished reading While It Lasts

I know what you guys are all thinking. What happened to all of the other books I was supposedly reading? Well I'll tell you. I still have them. The only problem is that they are in the coldest room in the house during the winter. AKA my room. Its because we tore down a walk due to some water damage and being a room in the basement, it got cold when winter came. I just haven't had the guts to go down there to get the book because I'll pretty much freeze because its so cold.

Anyways, lets talk about the book that I am reading at the time. Only because I'm almost done with it because my internet went down due to weather. I really hate snow, you know that? Well now you do. Anyways, enough of me complaining about weather. Lets talk about While It Lasts. So things change between Eva and Cage after he takes care of her while being drunk. I don't know what happened but they end up getting closer and Eva pretty much puts her guard down. Also she is starting to do the things she hadn't done in a long time. Like play guitar. Their relationship ends up getting more serious, but they both have different views on where the relationship is. Cage is trying to keep Eva for forever, and Eva is only seeing it as a summer fling. I'm just on the edge of my seat waiting to see how this all crash and burns because you know it is going to. If it doesn't, there is another book where it can. But I'm not going to tell you how this book ends or anymore about it, because I just love to keep you guys hanging. Plus I want you to go get the book and support this amazing author. I already requested the next book in the series from the library, but it is going to get to that point where the library doesn't have the book I need to continue. I hate it when that happens.

Also me being the nice person that I am. I thought I'd post another picture of my work writing Rebellious Love. The book is turning out quite well and my editor is really dragging their feet on the whole editing thing. She also knows how to make it sound so much when I tend to drag on for too long. So here is a picture of one of my chapters. I'm sorry if you can't make out what it says, I tried. So until next time.....

Reading While It Lasts by Abbi Glines

Before I start anything about books, I'd like to wonder if anyone else is having issues voting for the Goodreads Choice Awards. I ask this because the romance category and I are having a little complications. I am beginning to hate it greatly because I can't choose which I want to vote for. There are so many good books that I've read or want to read. Its just not fair to pick just one book. My mom told me I should pick the one I had to have when it came out. Of course I got that book before I read some of the other choices. I just don't want to choose, so how should I do this whole voting a book in the romance category? How do you decide which book when you can't decide which book to vote for during the Goodreads Choice Awards?

Also I'd like to remind all of you that I'm still doing my contest for a book cover for my very first book Rebellious Love. There are basically no rules. If you have not read what I have posted for pictures of my progress, got check them out if you can. My main characters are starting to see themselves as a twisted version of Romeo and Juliet. I think the reference even makes an appearance in the book. Anyways, I'm about a fourth of the way done with the book and working on getting half way in the next two days. I might even post another print-screen  of  my work. What do you think about that?

But, lets get to the reason why you are actually here. I promised that I would make a post about this book. I'm a third of the way now, which is surprising. It feels like I just started the book. Also I like the fact that my cousin thinks the guy on the cover is cute. I'm not the only one. Anyways, if I remember correctly, there is a possibility that this book is becoming a movie. I would so love to go see it if it did become one. I might even write about the movie in a post. Anyways, lets get talking about the book. Cage York finally gets in trouble for his reckless lifestyle. Also the beginning of this book is a huge tear jerker. Nothing like opening the book for the first time and bawling your eyes out. Thanks for that Abbi. I got weird looks from my family for that. But all is good because I'm finding difficult to put the book down right now. Especially when broken hearted Eva tries so hard not to be attracted to Cage, but ends up kissing him. Then gets the wrong idea when Low shows up to pick him up on his day off. She even ends up getting drunk and kind of wants to take advantage of Cage. The scene is quite interesting, but I didn't get to enjoy it much because my dog decided to lay on the book and cuddle. He is such an attention hog sometimes. So until next time.....
