Hey Readers,
I know you have heard me say this many times, but it has
been a longtime since my last blog post. By now, we are way past me apologizing for it
as I’ve done numerous times in the past. So as you probably guessed, this post
is going to be extremely long. Now, since my last post I have been taking some
time off from everything…including my book. I know you guys are thinking, “How
could you take off at a time like this when you wanted to be done with your
book in two months?” I know there’s only like two weeks left in that deadline,
but I am so over that now. I just started on my second chapter in this book,
but I had to, once again, calm down and take a breather. I rush things way too
much and that is why I decided to take a break in the middle of my goal
deadline. On the other hand, I did finally pull out What It Takes to Keep Her and finished editing it. The only thing I
have left to do now it create all my files and get the book on Amazon, which is
still set to happen late August or early September.
I finally moved out of my house and in with my sister for
the summer until I leave for the south. That was step one of my break and
everybody around me who knows my situation can see that I am genuinely happier
now. Not to mention, I finally finished my Calculus test with a 94%. I will be
in Honors Calculus in the fall! People always complained about how hard
Calculus is, but try teaching yourself Calculus and then you’ll actually have
something to complain about. Math at my school sucked almost as much as the
science did. I hadn’t seen a Calculus problem until after graduation and going
into college. Believe me, after all that, I needed a break.
Anywhoo, my point is
I have discovered some things about myself. First of all, you all went through
my little breakdown after my article in the newspaper came out. That is also
the reason I rushed to get my YA novels on sale. I got people in my hometown
waiting for copies of a book that isn’t finished yet…crazy isn’t it? Let’s just
hope they don’t Google my name alongside the word book. Heck just Googling my
name will bring up all my accomplishments plus a link to this blog and they can
find out all the information they need to know from this website. Anyway, in my
rush to get out my YA novels, I pushed back the deadline to the second edition
of the Boss Bitch Chronicles and I
didn’t finish editing it. Well, as I said earlier, I finished editing it and as
I finished the last two chapters, I remembered why I started writing in the
first place. For some reason, I tend to forget what I wrote, so it was very entertaining
to read the ending and I can’t wait to write the third book of the series. I
can honestly say that I fell in love with writing again.
Second of all, I was riding around with my sister last night
and she was listening to some Christian Rap cds. Well the singers and rappers
are a girl that I went to school with and her older brother. She is a friend of
mine and they both work with my sister. Anyways, they are making a name for
themselves and I’m really proud of what they are doing. It got me to thinking
about what I want to do. I admit, I can be over the top and too honest at
times, but I’m a realist and I like to speak my mind. For example, a lot of
people may feel offended that I chose to portray Khloe Shelton as a Madam who
enslaved underage girls for sex and that I actually went into details in some
scenes. Well in reality, people are kidnapping young girls and pimping them out
to older men, but nobody likes to entertain that thought. It doesn’t mean I
support it, but people should not be ignorant about what goes on in today’s
world. I was thinking about the documentary that I made for my senior project
on Alzheimer’s. It was basically fifteen minutes of the real truth behind
caring for an Alzheimer’s patient and having an Alzheimer’s patient in your
family. Even though it was my family that was being documented, it was a start
and I actually enjoyed making the film. The judges gave me a 95% and the loved
it. They even told me that they knew of the disease but they had no idea the
emotional and physical effect it had on people. So basically, I’m in that stage
where I’m back at square one again. During my ride, I got to thinking that I
wanted to do something different with my writing. I love controversial
literature and Khloe’s story in the Boss
Bitch Chronicles is definitely controversial. The audience loves to respond
to controversy so I am just going to feed off of that, which brings me to my
next decision. I want to bring reality to the public and I want to speak my
mind on whatever subject that arises. That is going to be the topic of my next
blog. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not gonna’ start one of those blogs where I dog
out something the next hottest celebrity is doing. I’m taking about shocking
breaking news and other controversial issues like corporal punishment,
marriage, girl code, and etc. The only issue I may shy away from is politics,
because I’m not a huge political person. I try to avoid it as much as possible,
but I guess I never had a reason to care. Heck, I only registered to vote
because my sister felt that it was important. Who knows, I’m older now and I
should probably get educated on that subject. Anywhoo, I am in the process of
creating a new blog and it should go public around the time What it Takes to Keep Her comes out. This
is just going to be a trial run to see if I can actually find the time to pull
it off and to see how the pubic takes it. If it doesn’t work for me, I’ll stop
and find another subject. By the way, I’m letting you all know now that I will
be posting the link to my other blog and it would mean a lot if you follow me
on that blog.
I think that’s all for now so…
Until next time, tell me what do you think?
