Well, Im a single mother of two young boys and I love to write! I work two jobs and lots of hours. I enjoy acting too, but will prob never be able to do that, simply because I have no time. I am having a poem published in a new magazine, Horror In Words, first issue available Aug 1st. It's a magazine for people who enjoy being scared, and like all the stuff that comes with being scared. I write alot of horror, I enjoy being scared I guess. I write alot of poetry too, mostly sad, hurtful stuff but thats life, and this is how I cope... My dream is to have my novel series published, but it's still very raw, and unfinished.. I would love to find a Co-Author who knows about editing and can teach me and help me with all the little bugs and knots that I can't seem to iron out on my own. I think I have a wonderful story, and idea and I think if I could write it the way I see it, it could be a very popular book series.. Book one called Descent Into Eternity, book 2 is For All Eternity, and book 3 is Forgotten Eternity. The thing is, I have it all mapped out, I just have a problem filling time to get to the point. I find that in my first 7 chapters I start to bore people with my explainations. I lose it and if I keep trying at this with no knowledge of how to keep it interesting, I fear the book will end up being 100,000 words long, and I do not want that. I am asking for help, to be taught by anyone willing to teach. Thanks to any one who offers an oppinion, it is greatly appreciated.
- My story seems to be very popular amoung Twilighters online. When I had it up on fanfiction sites in the Twilight section, it had many many followers. If you loved the Twilight Saga, if you loved the Harry Potter books, you will probably like my story too. Even in the state it is in, people ask me for more all the time, and I am no where near done...

Wicked, Son of A Witch, and Mirror Mirror by Gregory McGwire. Anything Steven King. I love Anne Rice's Beauty Books, all three of them, and of course her stories about Lestat de Lioncourt, the most amazing Vampire ever dreamed up. I love Twilight and New Moon by good ole Stephanie, but am not a huge fan of the last two books in the saga, sorry fans.. Ooh!! and The Beach by Alex Garland, if you have seen the movie with Leo, read the book, they left alot alot out and it is way more interesting and realistic when read. Also, all of the Wizard of Oz books by L. Frank Baum. Speaking of witch, ha!, Wicked, at the top of my list here, is the story of the Wicked Witch of The West, and how she became so Wicked. Very interesting story that ties into L. Frank Baum's novels very well, considering they are written by an outsider to the Wizard of Oz books.
The Griffin & Sabine Trilogy by Nick Bantock, these are quite amazing books as well. Sookie Stackhouse, Books 1-7 by Charlaine Harris. -
Go Ask Alice, by Anonymous

Under a shadey tree in the sun. Warm air blowing my hair around and the sound of birds in my ears. This is the best way for my imagination to soar..
