Hello All!

Here is a recent update as to what has been going on. Unfortunately I did not win the last contest that I entered. I look forward to entering some more contests. I have been busy with The Pen & Muse Blog and have even added staff to help with the book reviews.

I also took a conference with the help of a fellow blogger and learned of a ton of stuff which I will be implementing in the new blog when I get it up and running. Jeannine which did this website will be putting it up for me, which I know it will turn out awesome since this website did.

Other than that school is almost close to looking finished next year. Soon I will be able to write more as I embark on getting an MFA in writing and graphic design. I have tons of things to … [+]

I’m so excited! I am a finalist!

Oh boy! What have I gotten myself into! I have joined NanoWriMo and hope to complete a novel by the end of the month. Who knows who far I will get . LOL I’ll keep you all updated as I go.

Well Yes, I have. Sorry I haven’t been around much, but I still have been checking my new website and also making sure that I actually get started on my new newsletter.

I do a lot of jobs besides my own and sometimes those take over.
Lately I have been working on a side business in making newsletters for authors. I have my first client and am looking forward to working with her. You know who you are: Miriam!

Other than that I have been working on editing two other stories I have not touched in a quite a long time with my poetry in order to make a book.

So don’t worry, you will be hearing from me more!

Stay tuned at my other Blog The Pen & Muse (www.thepenmuse.com) for prizes, blog tours, and great articles!

My new website is up! I hope you all enjoy it as I add on to it little by little! I am offically starting my writing back up again and am looking to be published.

I also finished my short story which I hope to share with the world soon!

This is really cool! Posting from the iPhone. Hmm the fun I’ll have with this. TTYL guys!

I thought I would share more of the short story that I am currently finishing. Let me know what you think!

Being polite and in a different time, I smiled back. When he came into the light, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was James Dean! This was not the same James that I had seen in pictures or read about. Tears were threatening to come down his eyes. He had small circles under his eyes telling me that probably the insomnia he had was present.
“Want a smoke?” he offered as I stared at the box of Lucky Strikes he shoved in my face. Declining, I shook my head. “You don’t smoke… So, what’s your … [+]
