A new beginning

For me that is. :)
School is ending, I only have 3 finals left and then summer. Work on my novel which i have mention is actually going to start along with finishing a few side projects. I have been getting free books for my kindle which I think I may start reviewing here. :) And I think I got a job. Just waiting to hear back from them.

It's all very exciting and it means I will be back for a bit. (Hopefully longer.) I plan to do a review every week or two I'll decide fully once I get my work schedule and see what it is like. I will also be posting about my WIP and other more everyday things so, I should be here two days a week. I think it will be very exciting and I hope you will drop by and comment or what not. :) My first review will be later today or tomorrow. :)

Carnival

No excuses for my absence other than I have not been writing at all. I write today because Canival got published and is for sale on Amazon.

I am super excited. I think this is my best story so far. A preview of it is here. Also the good news is, this publication has sparked my writing flame again and so i should be writing more and back on here soon. I did get a more everyday blog as well if you want to follow it just email me at kell DOT nicol Dot 5 AT gmail Dot com. :) See you all soon.

Jeez, over a month has passes that I have not been around you fine people. So much has happened that it does not feel like it has been that long. I feel bad for being such a bad blogger lately but I have settled into my schedule with time for blogging and writing penciled in. I just need to write a list of blog topics and then we are all set. J

So the things I have been doing that kept me from you are varied.

1. I started my second semester of my junior year of college.

2. My dad went into the hospital and then got released.

3. I celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday with him.

4. Valentine’s Day was also celebrated.

5. . I volunteered and help take photos at a Polar Plunge

I’m sure a lot of other things happened too but that what I thought of. I hope you all had a lovely valentine’s day. He gave me gas money to be able to see him and a candy bouquet and a rose and other stuff, and it was really lovely.

The only other thing going on lately is an extreme lack of writing (other than notes). I don’t know which story to write. A new one from my head, one to fit an anthologies criteria, or to finish an old one. It’s rather hard to decide and I don’t know what to do. Any advice?

Well one thing I can do is write down more ideas so I am off to do that and then go to class. Have a good day.

Dreaming

Have you ever watched or read or saw so much of something in one day that you dreamed about it that night? Because recently that is what been happening to me. First it was the game Dark Cloud, I had been watching my boyfriend play it while organizing my Kindle. He played so much that when we went to bad I had an odd dreamed based around the same concept. Basically it's that the world got destroyed but the Fairy King saves everything in little bubbles which you need to connect so that you can put the world back together one town at a time. It's a fun game and I have been playing it lately but, to dream about it was weird. Especially since in my dream the bubbles were filled with goo and it was just odd. My boyfriend also had a Dark Cloud themed dream. Maybe it’s a sign.

It also has happened with the Dragonlance books I have been reading. I am now onto the second book of the first trilogy in the series and last night I was reading and tried to go to bed but couldn't get the story out of my head so I kept reading until about 3:30ish am. Then I had dreams about that story which was interesting, but it made more sense than the Dark Cloud dream. This one was just fighting and character interaction.

So has this happened to you Please share! :)

Hibernation

Hello all! Sorry I have been absent for a month. I have been in hibernation of sorts. A book coma type thing.

Well first it was more of a finals one, but those are over now and I did really well in all of my classes so that makes me very very happy. Since then I have been sleeping and then of course it was the holidays and you see my wonderful significant other gave me a kindle fire and it’s amazing! I have been reading almost nonstop. First I read the Hunger Games, and man is it amazing I cannot wait for the movie. I am waiting on the second and third book though but I am excited to read them soon once I finish the trilogy I am reading now. The book I am on is called “Dragons of Autumn Twilight” from the series Dragonlance. It may be an old book but man it is amazing! If you like fantasy and adventure pick up these books! Autumn Twilight is the first book in the first trilogy of the series.

Now I am off to start my story for the first week of Write 1 Sub 1 2012. I will see you all next week. I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas!

Thanks and Procrastination

I know this was supposed to appear on Friday, and well I know it didn’t. School is winding down and things have been a bit stressful. Still are, I have 2 long papers due Thursday and Friday respectively, and one is half done and the other I haven’t even started. I’m a bad procrastinator, and for some reason lately it’s been even worse but I’ll get to that after some thanks.

First of all I want to thank everyone who follows me. It means a lot to me. I am sorry if it doesn’t seem that way from some of my other posts. I truly appreciate l of you, and I hope to get to know you all more as my blogging continues. So in this time of thanks I want you to know I am thankful for all of you and I hope you all the best for the holidays.

I’m also thankful to Rebecca a lovely girl who edits for me, since I’m not the best at it. I owe her a lot of thanks for what she does for me. I hope one day to be able to repay her.

Also to my loving family who supports me even if they haven’t seen what I write. For my significant other who always thinks the best of me always, and encourages me to follow my dream of writing a novel. My roommate who gives me inspiration and helps me keep a roof over my head (splitting rent is nice). Thank you to all of you.

I don’t think I deserve any of you, but I am glad you are here. :)

I’m trying to improve my habits, and get at least 1 blog post up a week and once finals are over hopefully 2. I guess my procrastination factors in to blogging too, but I’m working on it because I want to get to know you all better, so please bear with me.

As for school I don’t know if that will ever get any better. Lately I just have no will to write anything for school. My research paper is half done, because we had to hand bits in for class and its for my major so I know I need to do it. My politics paper (which is the one due Thursday) I haven’t started. I looked at it and have been reading up on the topics but there is nothing on paper yet, and I feel no need to do it. I am going to try though, my hardest.

I hope you all have fantastic days, I’m going to go and try not to continue my paper procrastination.
