I Read, I Write, I Review
Found myself today logging into my blog account. Honestly, I have been so damn busy with whats been going on here that I just havent had the time to write about it all. Buts thats not all true. I have just been having a really crappy month and I have been rather anti-social lately. I wont go into anything further because some things I just dont want to talk about on here.
But all in all I am doing well. I just finished a rather interesting book called, The Circle of Three: So Mote It Be by Isobel Bird. Further research of this author has also stunned me because, the authors name is not Isobel Bird (a females name by the way) but the author of the book is none other then Michael Thomas Ford, a gay american author. This is shocking because I honestly though that Isobel Bird was a woman author but, I was so wrong. It confuses me that a man would use a womans name and no their own when publishing these books. Since the author is utterly male, was he trying to bridge that boundary since he is a man writing a story about young teen girls in high school? I honestly don't know much about him since I am only familiar with his work in the Circle of Three series of books. But seeing that he is a gay American author, I may just see what else he has written. All in all, this is a shocker for me because I thought the author was a woman but oh well.
Normally I don't like to delve into teen fiction but I have an interest in reading into fictional stories related to the paranormal, supernatural, and occult. The book itself, I believe, is more suited for teens in high school since the setting of the story is around three girls who are in high school and have begun to delve into witchcraft. I like how the story presents itself and the ease of the reading. It amazes how the authors who take the time to write these books can make such a simple, yet fun story. Its one of the things that push me to write like crazy because, I love creating stories and putting them on paper. Call it a passion for writing but writing for me comes naturally. Hell, my mother once did some editing work and she loved it so its obvious that I get my passion for writing from her.
Another series I have been reading is the House of Night Series by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. First time I picked up the first book in the series, which is called Marked, I was hesitant. Because the first chapter in the book just didn't really hit me and I put down the book faster than anything because it bored me on sight. But of course I told myself to just give the book a chance and that is what I did.
I am glad I gave the book a chance because I am already on the 6th book in the series (Tempted) and I am hooked! I honestly thought this book was going to be campy so boring I may want to send it back. Thank god the lead character of the book is someone I can understand and like. If the authors would have chosen someone else, most likely the book would have not appealed to me. But instead, they created a cast of characters that are not only fun to read but sort of drag you into their little world. Awesome job for a mother and daughter working together on a book. I hope sometime in the future I can do something like that with my own mother.
I love reading books and I would not pass up the chance to read a possible good read. Besides me reading though I have been writing a storm. Right now, I have the makings of a possible book series I have in mind. Where the story will lead me is all up in the air since I am still writing it but the way it is coming out, I am thoroughly enjoying what I am creating. The other book I was writing I put on hold because I felt the story was becoming rather boring. Honestly I am thinking about ditching the book in its entirety but thats up in the air. For right now I am leaving the other book alone until I get the urge to go through the 200+ pages of written material. Once I sort through everything and edit what needs to be done and I am satisfied with what I have created, I will most likely start looking to publish. But not until I am 100 percent positive I am happy about what I have written, I refuse to submit anything in. Call me a perfectionist but if it doesn't feel right to me, then I stick to my gut instincts.
I know its ridiculous to just go into another project but if you honestly understand how my thought process goes, you'd get why. I have so many stories and characters flowing out of my head that one story turns into another with more characters. I will just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best that any of my writings pan out. Plus, I will just have to tell all the other characters and their storys to wait in line because I am only one person here lol.
Ok that is it for now. I am going to go make friends with my bed and sleep the night away. The next book on my conquest will be the new book out by my favorite author, Laurell K Hamilton's Flirt. Anita blake is the shit. I hope everyone is doing well and I hope everyone is safe and warm during this rather cold spring season.
