End of School Days writing project.

I've decide give myself a project and call it End of School Days writing project.
The Goal:
To write everyday and to leave my story on a cliffhanger so I'm looking forward to writing once home from work (I work at primary school pre-k -2nd)
20 days of school, 4 weekends and 2 teacher work days left.

I have about 9,000 words written so far.
I'm going back and looking at the 20,000 words I have written in all and try to see what's cause me to get stuck in the middle.   I'm backtracking in my story and hope to rush forward soon.
I have realize that I want my heroine to be scared off and fearful, but I now realize she's not one to be scared off. 
And she didn't like my plot so now I'm changing it.  She's about to get more then she can chew!

Tuesday Teasers



Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title and author, too, so that the other Teaser Tuesdays participants can add the book to their to-be-read lists if they like your teasers!
Here's my teaser:
She was still standing beneath that ceiling light. And still staring.

The Avid Writer (a blog by another aspiring author)

Here's a blog by another aspiring author.
The Avid Writer

You will also find her on twitter

I just found her on twitter yesterday.  She's inspired by Jane Austen and other classic females authors.

Here a clip of her biography  (this is what catch my attention)


I was born with writing in my blood; however, I never thought myself an inheritor of the talent.
My father told me I wrote on everything–from walls, to floors to furniture. I always had something to write about. My first book was Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter. I would read it to my parents before bed. My father told me, one night, he found the book completely re-written in my usual chicken-scratch writing. He had me decifer the new storyline, and had me read aloud my “edited version”. He told me, he was so impressed that he clapped when I finished; he was speechless! I  had completely made the story my own.  I was four years old at that time.

Edward Cullen or Jesus Christ?

First yes I admit I have read two of the four books in the Twilight Saga.

But Bella Swan at the end of New Moon (the 2nd book) is talking about Edward turning her into a vampire.  Making plans and taking votes from the rest of the Cullen's vampire family on the matter of changing her.

This bothers me. Big Time.
Because to me she's giving her life to the wrong immortal.

She wants to be turned into a vampire.
(Another form of rebirth)
Bella is choosing to live forever on this problem full planet we call earth, with no way to leave the pain of sin behind.

Jesus Christ offers another rebirth
(BTW This one is real and possible for EVERYONE)
John 3:1-5
 1 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”
 3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]
 4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
 5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
This is the passage that we get our idea about "rebirth" As you can see Jesus really say born again, but for my point I'm going to use rebirth.

Anyway if Bella was real I'd tell her to let Jesus turn her into a follower of the way (Jesus says " I'm the Way the Truth and the Life" John 14:5

Note, I didn't say turn into a Christian.

Because I believe the word has so many different meaning to so many different people my point will not come across very well.
We as the Father in heaven's creation need to follow the way (His Son)

Jesus Died for our Sins

Edward Cullen can't die for anything including Bella (Yes I realize there is a way for him to die and he almost took his life to be with her in heaven because he thought she was died.)

Jesus on earth was human -Mortal
He died, came back again and went to heaven on the third day.  Now he waits for the end of time so He can be with us, all of us!

Here the thing we are immortal just like Him! Like us, His body died but His Spirit lives forever.  Our bodies will die but our souls in live forever!

This is way I think Jesus is a better choice for Bella (if she was real that is)

He is a loving, mighty perfect choice for you!

Listening to Jeremy Camp

My iPod has been playing Jeremy Camp non stop lately.
His songs just speak to me.  As I listen they act as prayers to God .
