Dear World,
I have been the busiest person today ever! With grandma back safely home I am charge nurse and enjoying it. Today is also a very special day; it's my one year anniversary with my lovely CJ. That makes me excited and happy. This relationship is the longest one I've ever had and the best one as well. Sometimes there are rough patches but that's to be expected. You can't have everything good. My face has been smiling all day because my grandma is back and I'm dating the love of my life. How much better could life get?
Oh, but it does!
Because I'm getting things accomplished with my new motto: Do more now and less later! And I have stuck to my guns on this one! Got down to business with my typing and typed until Chapter 4. I have typed 18 pages and 8,607 words. I think that's pretty impressive. Have been adding more to the story to make it longer because when I rough drafted it I was lazy and didn't fully develop the characters. Now I am adding on and getting these characters to monumental heights with their emotions and personalities. There was so much that I left out! Can't believe I was so lazy but then again I was writing the rough draft when I was busy with college work. Makes quite a difference to your focus. Now I am off to see if I can type the forth chapter before twelve o' clock rolls around! Ta-ta beautiful people of the world.

Thus Far
Dear World,
Today has been a trying day full of mother and so was yesterday. Heavy sigh. With grandma in the hospital she has taken over as if she's some kind of dictator to me and my life. Which is not cool just to let ya know. I can live and have lived just fine without that. To dictate to me is basically to ask for trouble because I am not going to listen. Don't care, I'm just not. It's not disrespect per say; to dictate to someone shows more disrespect than to ignore someone. Especially when they're over the age of 18. I mean, come on. I don't need someone to tell me how to wash clothes or condescendingly ask me, "Don't you know how to check the mail?" Why yes, yes I do but is this your house? No! So why you talking about the mail? Plus, sometimes the mail person runs late in the day so don't badger me woman. Jeesh! She is the reason I can't stand badgers; just can't even look at them. They remind me of her. I love her but I swear to God she's the most annoying person on this planet. So glad she didn't stay with me! Blessings are immense right now.
But on the downside, tomorrow is Saturday meaning she doesn't work, meaning she will be here...yet again....sigh. Don't know whether to punch myself in the face now or later because I'm going to need to be knocked out. Two days is quite enough of her attitude issues. She had the nerve to ask me why I feel I'm smarter than other people and my polite response was, "Because I don't feel entitled to tell anyone what to do with their lives. Think that makes me pretty wise." Insult intended, yes. And for the love of God, she needs to stop saying she's paying for my college when she is not!! Tis' an annoying habit she has as if she is capable of stopping me from going to school by not paying. When she's not even paying!! So therefore she has no power which is her problem. She hates not having control over someone. But I remember this grand saying, "To dictate is to be dictated." Therefore I do not dictate because I will not be dictated by anyone. Just a friendly ranting word of advice from the ever loving Lizzy.

Current Goal
Dear World,
Hello again, hasn't been long but in the time I've been away I have accomplished a lot. Started on my new goal, or should I say new new goal since I finished the last new goal? Hmmm, either way. Started a new one. It consists of typing up the third book in The Divine Ones series which will be titled Nature of Love. I was smart for this novel when I wrote it because I wrote both parts at once instead of waiting. Works a lot better that way cause I remember what happened and what I was talking about. Lol.
So far I have typed up the first chapter of N.O.L. and that makes me happy. I have about nine more chapters to go. My target for finishing this is going to be July 20th which is very ambitious since typing takes a long time. But I'm basically editing it at the same time so that's a plus. Words can't describe how happy it makes me to accomplish things and see my goals through. It's a great feeling that I never want to give up.
Nature of Love is going to be about a love triangle that's on epic proportions! There's the twins and then there's a big twist but I'm not going to give that away. You'll have to read the book to find that out. But in this novel the immortal race is elves and they are in search of the Divine Elf. This is one of my favorite stories that I've ever written simply because of the intense emotions and the intense drama. It's definitely high strung and not for the romance shy types. Akantha makes her way through the stages of unsure girl to brokenhearted lady and finally to confident woman. So in the process of the love triangle there is also the fruition of a woman; her journey with love and what it makes her become. It's very touching in my eyes and very dynamic in many ways. I love this story and I hope people that read it will like it as well.

Accomplishment!
Dear World,
If you haven't noticed yet I am very meticulous about time and order of things. I believe all things come in due time but I also believe you have to go out to put things in motion. Sitting gets you nowhere. That's why I choose to be busy 24/7. Lots better this way.
I'm awesomesauce today because I got two more chapters done in Allure Part Two. Chapters 8 and 9 are history baby! Hooray! I also realized that if I do a chapter a day I can get it finished by the end of this month and I'm going to make sure that happens. It's so funny to me how getting things accomplished not only makes you feel better about yourself but also about every situation that comes your way. Isn't that awesome? So why don't people stop being lazy and get more accomplished? Do they not feel worthy of the feelings accomplishment brings? These are the odd questions that haunt my mind all the time. Don't know why, but I just go with it and ponder on it more.
Also, why don't people set goals for themselves? Goals give you a guiding light to go by and that's nice. More people should get into that. And that's all I have to say for today. Ta-ta and thanks for listening.

Getting Sucked In
Dear World,
Yesterday I went to Jacksonville with grandma to a lovely store called 2nd and Charles. There I found two books that I have been looking for. The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead being one of them and the other being Nightshade. Of course, on the ride home I had to start Nightshade and it's been hard to put it down since!! And guess what? It's part of a series. No one but me gets sucked into a series. Buys a book thinking it's a single novel then feels committed to finish the series once she knows it's a series. Lol. That's me for you. So glad I started it though because it's really great. My Edgar Allan Poe book is still looking at me like, "Bitch! Read me already! I'm at a Loss of Breath with you!"
But anyway...besides puns on the works of Edgar Allan Poe...
Yesterday I also wrote out the chapter plans for Allure Part Two and began redoing the chapters. So far I have redone chapters one and two. Didn't get a chance to work any today unfortunately. It was great to get that done though and chapter plans are the best idea to ever hit me. I mean, I seriously couldn't live without them. That's how good they are. You just jot down your ideas for the chapters, tone, mood, important dialogue, and such and you're set to leave it. You can return and haven't lost your thoughts. Perfect! Tomorrow I'm planning on writing some more. I have six more chapters that need fixing in Allure Part Two and then I will be finished with it as well. Hooray! Getting things accomplished!
Today I was bad though, I bought yet another book that begins a series and (yet again) started it! Gosh, what am I going to do with myself? At least this time I bought the sequel. On my To Buy Next list is Wolfsbane, Bloodrose, Rise, and Rift. Those are the books in order for the Nightshade series. And I'm sure they'll be another one soon as well. The book I got today is called Anna Dressed In Blood. A horror/romance novel that is to die for! I'm on Chapter 4 and loving it already. The words are all typed in red ink and that's an awesome change of pace. Hooked my interest anyway. The sequel to it is called Girl Of Nightmares. Can't wait to get this series started!!

Discouraged to Encouraged
Dear World,
Yesterday I was very disgusted with the human race. I watched a music video on Youtube called Say Yes which is sung by fabulous women who defined my childhood. The song is so lovely and uplifting and then people have to be flipping retards and muck it up. People on Youtube disgust me with their comments. They're always negative and hateful. Several people left messages saying that Beyonce is Illuminati and shouldn't sing about Jesus after making a sexual music video called Partition. She's singing about her husband though so get with the program! And what does it matter? We were created for that purpose anyway. And also, what does it matter what religion she is? Just what does it matter? She's singing about Jesus for crying out loud so that should clue you in on something. At least she lent her voice to sing about Jesus. People just have to turn everything into a religious debate every time and that's why I truly don't care for religion. I care for Jesus, I care for God but the rest can take a hike. People are bigots consumed with their own opinions of others when they should be concerned about themselves and hypocrites to boot. And I don't care if you like it or not; it's the fact of the matter and nothing can change that. The most religious people are the most hypocritical in most cases. I will stand by that til the day I die.
My point is not to start an argument but to simply state the facts about the situation and lend people a lesson on how to act. Be respectful of others and if it involves Jesus be even more respectful because he saved you. If you don't believe that then that's okay. I'm not knocking you; I have no right to. As a Christian we are not called to condemn people but to encourage them. The main reason most people don't go to church is because of this judgement. The hypocrites and holier than thou people also discourage new followers. I know it has discouraged me before. Now I have learned to ignore their ignorance and just be grateful for the peace of mind I have. That's how you survive religion and the people of religion.
So I guess this message is a lesson to myself as well. As disheartening as it is to see the nasty comments on Youtube, I should settle with my peace of mind. Making peace with the fact that people are always going to say negative things and move on. You can't allow everything nasty in life to discourage you because then you would never succeed in life. Don't allow people to rile you; just remain calm and carry on. That's my message for today.

Done and Done!!
Dear World,
I have finished Part 2 of Jez and Cole's story! It is the sweetest story ever written but also with quite a kick! Had a blast writing it. I was actually beginning to dread not meeting my deadline but I exceeded it as per usual for myself. Haha. The key to getting ahead is to get started; that's the golden rule. The other key rule is to set deadlines that you know you can meet :)
I also finished reading one of the many books sitting on my nightstand table. This one was called Revealed and for those who don't know what it is, don't even look at me!! Lol, just kidding. But honestly, it's a great series and your butt should be reading it. The series is called The House of Night and starts off with Marked. This book was the 11th. Ended totally different then what I was expecting but oh well; that's authors for you. Now I'm pumped up for Redeemed to be released and Kalona's Fall. Those are going to be epic books for sure because P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast are epic themselves. And now I'm just musing about them.
On to different things....
Like the fact that my next project will be redoing Allure's second part! Adhearna is to die for...maybe literally. That's the only hint I'm giving. She is a boss for a character and has so much sass! Wonder where she got that from, huh? *wink* And I know I just finished her second part about two months ago but I really want to change a few things that are key parts to the whole series. Really should have done Jezebel's second part first but you know, author ADHD kicked in. Had to jump ahead of myself as usual. And now I get to redo the mistakes which is always a pleasure :)

Better Day
Dear World,
Today has been a better day since I was able to rant for a minute. Makes you feel better when you rant some. Very glad I got it off my chest and now I feel like things were solved. Might have pissed someone off but they'll be okay because they pissed me off as well. What's fair is fair. I said what I needed to say and I feel better and that's what counts.
I was supposed to be writing Chapter 10 either last night or today but I got distracted. Last night I spent my time talking to people and blogging my entry. I wasn't really in the mood to write much since I was so frustrated but now I feel better. Tonight I got tied up making Mississippi Mud Pie which is the best thing come to earth! Had to wait until after a poker game with grandma's friends to eat it but that was okay. At least I got some; that's what matters...to my tummy. I had all these intentions of writing but instead I decided to look around on Facebook. So haven't accomplished anything today. That makes me a little sad but at least I will meet my deadline if I get to work tomorrow. Got to meet this self-set deadline of June 26th if possible. The rest of my break is going to be spent learning how to drive if I can talk mom into teaching me. Let's keep our fingers crossed for that one and that she stays consistent if she agrees. Lol. That's about it that's going on.

Why???
Dear World,
At the moment I am very frustrated. Simply because I am asking myself why and this bothers me. A lot is on my mind and I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Right now I am torn between hurt and anger. I don't understand why anyone that supposedly loves someone would lie to them. Not only is the cowardly, but also unmoral. If you really cared about that person at all then you would never lie to them. I was once told that lies in a relationship was bullshit by someone and I thought they believed that. Little did I know, I guess. I still believe it to be bullshit because why? Just why would you ever lie? What do you accomplish by lying to someone? The answer is nothing but heartache for that person and for yourself. You haven't accomplished anything but ruining a perfectly good relationship.
I guess people find it funny to lie to someone else because they know they're getting away with it but it's not funny and never should be done. I don't lie about anything simply because I know it's wrong. I also don't have the energy or time to keep up with a lie. I'm honest til the end and I don't care if you like it or not. You can get over it if you don't like what I have to say. That's not my problem; as long as I was honest with you, then what does it matter in the end? It doesn't because I don't have a guilty conscience and you will come around eventually or either you'll be mad. My mom told me a great saying long ago. She said to me when I was mad, "Baby girl, you can either get over, under it, or die from it." That saying has always stuck with me and I will never forget it. As a kid I was smart enough to realize that she was telling me to just get over it. But those are the options you have in life. Right now I am trying to get over my hurt feelings and not be upset, but that's really difficult. Eventually I will though and things will be better. Just things today have been tremendously hard and frustrating.

What's Happening 2
Dear World,
I am happy to announce that I have changed the look of this blog because the last look was too much pink and I honestly hate pink. So now it's my favorite color, blue! Hope anyone who sees this blog will like it and read what's been going on here. I also have found several pages on Facebook where I have been promoting myself as an author. Hopefully that will draw the attention of people who will like my work.
Also in the news, I have an amazing boyfriend! For my writing I have to have what they call beta readers which is a lame term for people who read the work first before it gets published. I asked said boyfriend if he would be a beta reader for me and he said sure. That really made my day because I love knowing that he supports me. In everything I tell him about crazy book ideas or the new thoughts I come up with, he always says how great it is. It makes me love him even more than I already do. To have someone that supports you and all that you do is a number one thing in a relationship. It's not all about kisses and holding hands, but actually being there for each other. In my life I have never had much support when it comes to my writing so he is a blessing to me. Having someone to tell crazy theories to and to go off on tangents with is amazing. I couldn't love him anymore if I tried. My brain and heart would explode from the effort.
My writing is coming along well also, not only did I finish Chapter 8 in the wee hours of this morning but I also have started Chapter 9. To be honest, I only wrote two pages but that's better than nothing. The goal I have set for myself right now is to finish Part 2 by June 26th and I feel sure I can meet this deadline. I only have four more pages to write probably in Chapter 9 and I think I can do that tonight before going to bed. And that, my friends, is all I have to update you on!
I am happy to announce that I have changed the look of this blog because the last look was too much pink and I honestly hate pink. So now it's my favorite color, blue! Hope anyone who sees this blog will like it and read what's been going on here. I also have found several pages on Facebook where I have been promoting myself as an author. Hopefully that will draw the attention of people who will like my work.
Also in the news, I have an amazing boyfriend! For my writing I have to have what they call beta readers which is a lame term for people who read the work first before it gets published. I asked said boyfriend if he would be a beta reader for me and he said sure. That really made my day because I love knowing that he supports me. In everything I tell him about crazy book ideas or the new thoughts I come up with, he always says how great it is. It makes me love him even more than I already do. To have someone that supports you and all that you do is a number one thing in a relationship. It's not all about kisses and holding hands, but actually being there for each other. In my life I have never had much support when it comes to my writing so he is a blessing to me. Having someone to tell crazy theories to and to go off on tangents with is amazing. I couldn't love him anymore if I tried. My brain and heart would explode from the effort.

Late Night Post
Dear World,
Right now I am in the process of listening to a very interesting Dungeons and Dragons game between my boyfriend and our friend John Orientale. It is going great! So funny and now that I've started typing this they are going to quit. Sad face.
I also wanted to type about the fact that I finished Chapter 8 of Part 2 as it will be called for Dangerous Love. I started it and finished it in one sitting which makes me feel pretty awesome! I am so glad that I get to write every day now since I am taking a mini break from college. It's so much fun to finally be able to work when I want and not be too tired to work after school. I didn't start Chapter 9 yet but I have it and 10 and 11 to go. Then I say goodbye to Part Two and hello to Allure and it's second part. I thought up some better ideas for Allure's second part so I'm going to be redoing it. Looking forward to that as well because I love Adhearna to pieces! Her story is so sad but it needs to be told because it lays heavily on my heart. I hope everyone will connect with her like I have. Also didn't start Chapter 2 of my new project either because I was so focused on Part 2. But that's okay, there's always tomorrow or later on today! Lol. I probably should go to sleep but the Mountain Dew I just drank says no way. Will probably end up writing some more or reading on books that are being neglected.

New Thoughts
Dear World,
On a car ride home from Morehead City yesterday I had several thoughts about a new series. The series itself is going to be awesome but I wanted to share my thought process with you. My thoughts instantly hooked onto these thoughts for the new series even though I was like, "No brain, not today." My brain is just as persistent as I am so it refused to give up. The thoughts kept coming and I was like, "No no no, I already have two book series to finish. Don't need to start another." Needless to say, my brain has won this fight because it's awesome like that.
The series is probably going to be a trilogy if everything goes right. I always start a series by thinking up the title first and then coming up with the catch phrase of the series. From this catch phrase I make up the story. Then I have to be a dork and plan out every detail of the story; making chapter plans and details for the characters. I think the title of the series is very clever on my part as well. I have already began working on it. The first chapter is already done because I couldn't resist the temptation. Words for the paragraphs came and I had to write them down. While talking to grandma later that night I came up with ideas for the series. As a new thought it still had a lot of holes in the plans so I filled them in. I am blessed with the ability to talk and have ideas come to me through that. Just talking about the series now is giving me ideas.
So ta-ta for now World because the ideas are screaming at me to get started!

Catching You Up
Hello World,
It's been a while since I have posted an update to my blog. My days have been spent dealing with migraines that are now thankfully over and trying my best to get some writing done. Once the migraines were gone I instantly went to work on Jezebel and Cole's second part. I managed to write seven chapters in it then decided that I didn't like the way it was going. So of course I had to change it completely. Meaning I spent an entire day going over the chapter plans I had already made and tearing them to bits. No, just kidding about that part. However, I did go over them and redo the entire outline for the second part. Now it has some more action to it and something to keep the reader interested. The first version was too subtle and not in your face enough. Hopefully now people who read it will be intrigued by the action.
I have been working up a storm on the second part now and have accomplished seven chapters in it. Let's just hope I don't decide to change it again. Haha! I am enjoying the writing process very much now for the novel and hope to get it done by the end of this month. That would be stellar for me because then I could focus on Adhearna's story. She's the character for the second book. I have editing to do on her story and then I'm going to redo her second part as well.
In my spare time (which is hardly ever) I am trying to read seven books at one time and failing miserably. My Edgar Allan Poe book looks at me and says, "Are you ever going to read me!?" I've only been attempting to finish it for two years now. Edgar Allan Poe is ashamed of me at the moment but it's okay because I still love him. I am also enjoying my small break from college; it has been very nice so far and I hope it doesn't end too soon because I have a lot of work left to get done. And I also spend time with CJ whenever I can because he's awesome :)
