Networking aka meeting new peeps / Update on my novel

I have joined a fantastic, supporting group of female writers. It is amazing. I am so grateful for stumbling upon this Facebook page. I have already talked with some amazing writers. I have ran ideas by them and input has been great. =) It just makes me so thrilled knowing that there are others like me. Aspiring to become the best writer they can be. Believe it or not, the majority of them have full time jobs, are mothers and writers who have been published. It gives me great hope that I can make this happen for myself and my family.

Next, my novel is back to flowing so nicely. I love this realistic love story. I am working up to the chapter where my lead female character and the lead male character express their feelings for each other. Yes, I am giddy about this.

What is my novel about you might ask?
Disclosure here: My novel is not your typical fantasy of some awkward chick who meets a billionaire who is secretly a freak in the sack. Not even close. My novels are about love. Yeah, my female characters might have little awkwardness to themselves but who doesn't. They are strong, independent woman with a messed up past who stumble upon love where they least expect it.

How is that different?
Well, you are going to have to read about it when it comes out. My characters are girls you can actually relate with. Have feelings just like them! Oh my goodness, their friends probably remind you of your own friends. My male characters are men you would actually meet through a friend, at sports event or at a party. They are just regular guys who you will fall in love with.

Well, I am done rambling for the night. I need to get back to my novel. =)

Peace out,
Krissie

Writer's Block

Oh the horror!!! Is this even possible? I cannot believe I am experiencing writer's block. My novel was flowing so nicely. I have been laughing and smiling during the entire novel and then freaking BLANK. I even have an outline and I just can't get past Chapter 13. I do not want to bore my audience (when I get an audience) with this chapter. I need to brainstorm and write something witty for the dead space in this chapter. ARGH. THINK KRIS THINK!!!!

On the plus side of my lovely writer's block, I have finally established how I am writing the series. I even bought a journal to write down my ideas. YIPPIE!!!

It is official...I am Blogger.

I can't believe I made the leap and started blogging. This is crazy! The reason I started this blog, is to promote my writing. I have a been a writer since I was a teenager (so very long ago). However, I took a break to complete my bachelors degree, my dietetic internship and then my master's degree. Before starting on my current novel, I have two incomplete novels that need to be finished. It is so crazy to read my ideas from ten to almost twenty years ago. My first novel needs a lot of work. I started writing it when I was 17. My second novel, well it needs work but not as much. My current novel, I am so in love with my characters. I laugh every time I read the chapters I have completed. You may ask what it is about? Well, it is a love story... a screwed up love story. Not your "50 shades of fucked up" story though. Through my blogging, I will give snip-its of my novel.
All I ask, is to be patient with me. I am so new to this.
