No news/contest info

Sorry guys, I've been sidetracked with a surprise 30th birthday party.  I've been pondering a lot about the book.  I've had several different thoughts come to mind, but I don't want to get carried away, it could totally throw a wrench in things. But, hey, I guess we've all been there. 

Still have 2 days left for the name contest. In case you haven't read about the contest I will let you know a little about it.  I am changing Em's dead boyfriends name from Brian to ?

He is the kind of guy that would have done anything for her, but mainly they were best friends and laughed all the time together  He's not much taller than her and his build is slender but defined.  He worked hard for everything he owned and now is on a quest to reunite with Em in another dimension.  He speaks to her, telling her things to do in preparation for the transformation that will happen to her so that they can be together again.  However, he does give Em questionable information. So, the person she thought he was, may have actually changed.  He's not evil, but he does have a side, somewhat unwanted, that she has not seen before.

I can't have any names beginning with "B" or "M" and it has to fit the person she knew and loved before he died.

Also another thing with the name contest was to give advice about Blake's sister's name. I am calling her Sams, but I don't know how that will appeal to an audiance, so I would like to know what you think of the name.  A little about Sams is that she is ultra fiesty and loves to antagonize Blake, however it usually comes back on her because Blake out wits her most of the time. She has many powers. I'm thinking she may be a witch although I was trying to avoid that.  The is petite with brown spikey hair with flaming red tips.  She dresses sort of goth, but is not goth.  Blake calls her a 'troll' with her messy hair and tiny features.  She breaks all the rules and can really get herself into trouble.

So, there you have it. If you want to enter the name contest email me at rjlynnbook@yahoo.com since I have not figured out a way for people to leave comments yet. (sometimes I hate technology)  If you win the contest, your name will appear on the acknowledgements page and you will also get a free copy of the book when it comes out sometime in November.

Well, good luck and I'll be checking to see if we have a winner in a few days. I will post the name chosen and the name of the winner to the contest if they so wish.

Bells out!

Well, hell yeah, bells about to ring in one minute and I can get the hell out of this place. Can't it be friday already and over with? I am sick to death of students and the paper work that goes with then. Ugh! I still need advice about doing an outline, is it worth the work? I have things pretty much set in stone so is it necessary?

Student, ugh! Book good !

Well, I'm baby sitting a student who has behaviors right now, but just about done, thank the lord.  Then I can get to what I really want to do. How many of you out there do outlines for your book? I started then stopped, but I'm thinking I have to go back and add what I have and make an outline with it. Tell me what you think. And, if you do, what method do you use. I've been given several, but not sure which one is right for me? email me at rjlynnbook@yahoo.com Thx and send this to your fellow bloggers, maybe they can help. The book is coming along great, but I want it to be perfect so I need some advice. 

Wine Wednesdays

Gotta love wine Wednesdays they are the shit! I am like so super happy right now. But, I must say my bed is calling me :( Only 2 more days of school then freedom for a couple. I missed out on my writing today, kinda bummed about it. I miss my characters. It feels like you haven't talked with your best friend in a day.  Tomorrow I'll get to spend the evening with them though, that is after I see who gets kicked off of Idol. Definite Tyler fan! Is it bad to say that he is sexy at 63? I'm thinking not! Good night all.

make out session

Well Em broke down and had a make-out session with Mason and then puked her guts out.  Blake is about to enter the picture in a couple chapters and the tension between Mason and Blake is smoking. Not to mention the interference with Em's dead boyfriend (waiting on name from you guys).  The complicated love triangle is heart wrenching and volatile at the same time.  You will love what happens to Em as her powers begin to grow.  Her power is a mystery to all and you will be surprised who is at the root of all and who has to be a participant for it to happen.

Em and Mason

Em is entirely conflicted with Mason. One minute she is ready to give into him and let him into her life then the next she can't get the memory of her dead love from her mind, especially when he keeps speaking to her. She is questioning everything he tells her and she is completely confused and frustrated, not to mention her brother, Randy is not helping matters. More to come...

Followers/Power Within

Okay guys here's the deal. I need as many followers as possible since my book will be coming out in November.  Self marketing is a bitch so I need your help.  The 100th person to become a member will be put on the acknowledgements page. I know, my list is growing for that page. You won't be sorry. Power Within is great, not to toot my own horn, but when I compare it to others published works it is at least 50%better. I didn't want to say 100% because inevitable someone will argue with me, but it is really good. It has just the right amount of Romance and DSAS, plus the paranormal is so different from anything I've seen, I think you will be epically surprised. Good Luck with being the 100th and also starting to get some great names for the name contest. Email me at rjlynnbook@yahoo.com Have a great day!!!
