Re-reading books?

Helloooo book lovers! It's been too long since I've posted a blog but I am SO busy between being a mama, wife (to a hubby who works insane, long hours), and grad school.. oh AND writing/editing my book, it barely leaves time to blog. But I'm making time right now as I lay beside my sleeping toddler, about to fall asleep myself.

Okay, first things first... go pick up a copy of Abbi Gline's "Boy South of the Mason Dixon" and start reading. This book rocked my soul. I didn't think I would fall in love with it because I normally don't like when a character has interest in more than one guy, and that was the vibe I got from the synopsis BUT it wasn't what I thought it was. It was amazing. I'm just going to leave it at that. Oh, and Asher is up there with my other "book boyfriends".

Also, do y'all like to re-read books? I normally don't. I usually hate it because I already know what's going to happen but I just re-read a Colleen Hoover book, "Slammed", and it was just as good the second time as it was the first! If you need an easy read, something to just relax you before bed, I recommend re-reading a book. I sometimes get anxious or in over-drive when I read before bed and it's a juicy book...sometimes I just need something simple!

Laslty, I have good news. I am SO close to publishing my first book. I'm gonna go the indie route, it seems faster and more beneficial to me, at this point. I am SO excited for people to read this story. It's a twister and a little shocking. I even shocked myself when I wrote it! Can't wait. I'm actually reading it currently, so I can make sure it's perfect!! I should be finished in the next couple of days!!

Until next time loves.

Dear Future Mothers

Being a mom is so many things that I never thought it’d be. From the time I was three, I knew that’s exactly what I wanted to be. I distinctly remember carrying around my very expensive lifelike Lee Middleton dolls throughout the house, feeding them, bathing them, putting them to sleep—playing house was my absolute favorite pastime. When I found out I was pregnant, it was quite the surprise. We weren’t trying, we had just moved from North Carolina to Louisiana and were about to start the journey of recruiting duty, which meant long hours—very long hours and a lot of lonely nights for me. I remember the moment perfectly. My husband and I wanted margaritas. It was one of the first few nights in our new house. Cardboard boxes were still splayed on our dark mahogany wood floors, the kitchen was a disaster from unpacking, bare walls surrounded us. It was overwhelming and exhausting, just as every move typically is. So, we had the bright idea to get tipsy to help with the uneasy task of m...

Time Hasn't Stopped

Interesting, title? I couldn't decide what to name this little excerpt that I had to write for one of my classes. It was extremely difficult because it's not like my typical writing. I  always write in a first person point of view but we had to write in a third person point of view and we had many other obstacles to figure out. For example, we couldn't use the word "feels" which might not seem that hard but it is. We had to use the setting, props, and gestures to show the readers what the characters are feeling and it had to be between a husband and wife; which once again is nothing similar to what I normally write but I'll upload it for you guys to read, anyway. It was interesting to write, and I'm really sad today because I can't revise my second book instead, I have to finish Mansfield Park, by Jane Austen for one of my literature classes (insert eye roll here). Anyway, enjoy friends! Ps. Still waiting to hear back from another publishing company,...

I haven't titled this yet.

Why is it so hard for me to title my short stories? My book that is soon to be published is titled "Just Maybe" and my second book, which I think  I finished yesterday, is titled "Just Something". It's so easy for me to title my novels, but my short stories or even those little, tiny excerpts that I upload...those are so hard for me to title. I don't know why, maybe because they are only around 1,000 words and compared to my 50,000+ word novels, that's kind of short and hard to pick any strong word/phrases. I titled my book "Just Maybe" because it is a huge part in the novel, and same with "Just Something".  It's amazing how I thought 1,000 words was a lot and now I'm writing over 50,000 words for my novels!  **This is kind of a spoiler. Don't read if you want to be truly surprised by this story!* * This is something I wrote for school, this week. Like, I said. I don't have a title yet, but enjoy! It's a little ...
