Man just talking about Build gets me SO PUMPED! 

[moonleaflove]

It’s been said that we’re always reinventing ourselves … and although I’ve yet to grow tired of the writing world, I have grown bored with working out of my home with little-to-no contact with the adult world. I’ve often desired to dip my hands back into sales and marketing ever since leaving Carmel Internet back in the late ‘90s to get married. And, I’ve always had a penchant for Magazine work. That said, I have begun wearing a third hat, I’ve taken up a position with Mountain Valley Living Magazine and I’m truly excited about it. It’s been a few weeks now and I’m still getting my feet wet, learning the ropes and pushing myself beyond my comfort zone. It’s been good for me to get out and about, meet new people and find out what some of our local businesses are really all about. Below is a link to the digital edition of the magazine: https://mydigitalpublication.com/publication/?i=498600&ver=html5&p=1#{"page":0,"issue_id":498600} If you feel you would like to advertise with us, shoot me a private message and I’ll schedule a time to come in and meet with you. —We have some amazing specials in both print and digital packages available. I’m looking forward to this little jaunt of my journey. And I look forward to, hopefully, working with some of you, my friends and business owners! For me, life gets fun when I wear a variety of hats, not just one. #mountainvalleylivingmagazine #mountainlivingmagazine #mountainliving #magazinedesign #salesandmarketing #writealittle #sellalittlespace #takeafewpics #sidehustle #redbluff #redbluffca #calibaby #northerncalifornia #northerncaliforniamagazine #sunshineandmountains #madrespecttomothernature 🍃☀️🍃

Book Lover Questionnaire

Book Lover Questionnaire

Rules: There are none. Reblog with your answers.Tag someone if you want. Or don’t. Let’s just have fun with it. :) (Please tag @macrolit so we can see your replies.)

Thank you @dreamingofreadinggoals for tagging me!!!

1. Name a book you’re embarrassed to say you haven’t read yet.

Probably 1984... it’s on my book shelf and most people have read it in school but I never did!! I hope to read it this year!

2. What is the strangest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark?

I just used my sister’s permission slip as a bookmark today. I put stuff in my books knowing I’m more likely to see them and remember them!!!

3. Look at your bookshelf. What’s the first book you see with a yellow spine?

Sold by Patricia McCormick. It’s such a sad but powerful book about human trafficking in modern times. Definitely recommend!!

4. If you could have one new book from a deceased author, who would it be?

A sequel to Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell!! It’s the book that got me back into reading and the ending was very unsatisfactory so I really want more!!

5. Name an author who deserves more readership.

Marissa Meyer!! She’s amazing and she’s pretty popular, but I feel as though she should be much more popular than she is.

I tag @anassarhenisch @bookcub @bookishnerdsanonymous @readalittle-writealittle, @booksforthoughts and anyone else who wants to join in!!

[ar-hart]

Created by @jxsminewrites. I was tagged by @rosecorcoranwrites . Thanks! 😊

Rules: tag 5 or more other writers. If you aren’t tagged, feel free to use these questions anyway and consider yourself tagged!

1. Short stories, novels, or poems?

Short stories and novels.

2. What genre do you prefer reading?

Does manga count? If so, I like yuri, magic, & shojo.

Regular Books: Lgbt+ &/or Fantasy, & historical fiction focusing on native american tribes or early civilization. I also like young adult novels (mainly by VC Andrews/Sarah Dessen or something like Beautiful Creatures).

3. What genre do you prefer writing?

I love fantasy! Magic & mystical creatures & beautiful lands! 😍 Also, I tend to only write lgbt+. I can't help it; I just love writing about two girls in love. 👭

4. Are you a planner or a write-as-I-go kind of person?

Depends on what I'm working on. For my WIP, I definitely plan and outline, though my scenes sometimes float randomly through my head until I absolutely have to write them down. For my short stories, I write as it comes to me.

5. What music do you listen to while writing?

A little bit of everything. I have a playlist that includes cartoon songs, some pop, some rock, some new age, & some random songs that I have no idea where they came from. 🎶

6. Fave books/movies?

Books: Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Annie on my Mind, Clan of the Cave Bear, The Language of Flowers, & many many more

Movies: LOTR cartoon movies, Howl's Moving Castle, Wolf Children, Beauty and the Beast

7. Any current WIPs?

I am working on a lgbt+ young adult novel about a singer and an artist who are both dealing with heavy home problems. They meet, become friends, and slow burn into lovers. They learn to lean on each other for support and find strength by being together (romanticly and non). Also my singer has a best friend who is still in the closet but totally amazing (he is super down to earth, the best advice giver, a rock drummer, & absolutely loves his twin sisters and plants).

8. If someone were to make a cartoon out of you, what would your standard outfit be?

My hair would be pulled back in a twisted bun, probably with a pencil. I would be wearing brightly colored tank tops, shorts, and flip-flops (if any shoes, I prefer barefoot). Maybe include my reading glasses, a book in my hand, and my phone on my hip.

9. Create a character description for yourself:

Red hair, brown eyes, short (5'3"). Really pale skin, freckles. Bright green nail polish. Likes to read, write, & cuddle. Loves animals (mostly cats). Sometimes doodles on arm with bright colored pens. Has sun & moon tattoos on inside of calves. Can be found in sunny rooms, sitting in a plush chair with a book. (I know this sounds silly & jumbled, but this is seriously how I keep up with my babies. Lol)

10. Do you like incorporating people you actually know into your writing?

No. I try to keep real life separate from my writing.

11. Are you kill-happy with characters?

No. So far my works haven't called for any deaths, but that might change. I doubt I will want to kill several characters though. Only if I really have to. I always feel bad for putting my babies through unnecessary stress.

12. Dream job?

Being a well loved author

13. Coffee or tea while writing?

Tea, mainly chamomile & honey.

14. Slow or fast writer?

Slow. I take ages to write even one chapter because I want my timeline to fit right and I rewrite every time I turn around! Honestly, my WIP has 3 chapters mainly because I have rewrote them like 5 times (& have to redo them again).

15. Where/who/what do you find inspiration from?

Books, video games, anime, music, and random pictures (mainly nature pics or anime art). Also my hubby & sister, both of whom listen to my ramblings and bounce ideas with me. 💙

16. If you were put into a fantasy world, what would you be?

I would love to be a nature weaver (earth/water magic) or a forestry archer. Either way, I would be a beast tamer and lover of forests.

17. Most fave book cliche? Least fave book cliche?

Favorites: Don't have one.

Least favorite: Love Triangles. I hate them.

18. Fave places to write:

In a plush recliner by a window in the living room. So comfy.

19. Fave scenes to write?

Heart-warming romance scenes & deep, thoughtful moments.

20. Most productive time of day for writing?

I like to write during car rides, laying in bed, or just whenever. Depends on what we are doing that day and when the mood strikes me. Sometimes I'll go hours about my book in my head (maybe all day), then have to write immediately. Other times, I'll get bored and pull open a word document.

21. Reason for writing:

To give someone a place to escape to or to show that they aren't alone with what they are dealing with. Books became my saviors at a young age & I know how they can take away the worries of the day (even if only for a moment). I want to give my readers that chance to get away if they need it.

Okay! I will tag @ravencharm , @christinawritesfiction , @helenpowers , @readalittle-writealittle , & @merigreenleaf .

WIP Tag Game

Thanks @readalittle-writealittle for tagging me! (And @bookcub as well - I know you tagged me ages ago, but hey, at least I’m doing it now?) 

Rule: Post the last sentence you wrote. Then tag as many people as there are words.

“In a matter of seconds the strange girl had approached Jumana, everyone’s attention seeming to slide away wherever she went like water off a smooth rock, their gazes like currents, easily parted before her and coalescing in her wake with no memory of where they had wandered, or why.”

I’m sorry I don’t know this many writers??? Tagging @mlledevoltaire @logarithmicpanda @howlsmovinglibrary @lornaslibrary and anyone else who writes/is participating in nanowrimo. Tag me so I can see all your lovely last sentences!

being a pessimist with a romantically charged imagination means my inner bitter old lady spends a lot of time scolding my inner moonbeam; "Keep your expectations low, child, for you will always get hurt running away with your imagination." #ewmpoetry #pessimist #romantic #imagination #bitteroldlady #scolding #moombeam #expectations #lowexpectations #dontgethurt #runningaway #poem #poetry #poetsofinstagram #creative #creativeminds #words #write #writealittle #emotions #letitout #getitout https://www.instagram.com/p/BkwpDpLneoR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=leeypq18rr6

[mariesbookblog]

mine was the one ab the half-faerie princess who wants to be an engineer and her best friend eat's people. It's The Iron Thorn by Caitlin Kittredge. You should read! Although there is 1950s sexism but it's challenged as being wrong in text.

@readalittle-writealittle and @persephone77 this is that one you guys wanted to know about

Iron Thorn

thanks for clearing that up, nonnie!

[genevaclawson]

Thinkalittle writealittle

I spent entirely too long trying to figure out how this story was going to start. Seriously, ridiculous overthinking. Obsessing. Trying to convince myself to just pick a scene from elsewhere in the novel and go from there, and then going back to overthinking. Whyyyyyyyyy

BUT

I figured it out, and despite et fact that i will probably change it approx. 52 times before the book is done, I am writing, guys. Writing actual words.

story snippets

She steps forward, "you've been out here for almost 10 minutes." That answers that question. "I was almost afraid you'd left again."

I have to bite my cheek to keep the bitter laugh in, "I wasn't aware you'd even noticed the first time."

"I deserved that," her glance anywhere but mine. "I was falling apart and didn't know how to deal with it."

"Not coming home and acting like you didn't care wasn't the answer." And with that I roll past her, back into the suffocating coffee house.

[liloldgypsysoul]

"The sea splashes against my face with force, as the wind howls against me. I hold my ground; my stance reminds me of the early days of standing on city buses, trying desperately not to fall into some smelly stranger's lap. That hard, get-ready-for-a-hip-check wind reminds me of a lot of things, the storms always do. Lot's of things, like how wee I am in this giant sprawling everythingness. How I'm in control of so little, and how I take so much for granted. Most of all, the Storm reminds me to hold my ground." e. w. m. #ewmpoetry #sea #seaspray #splashes #wind #citybuses #hipcheckwind #littleweeme #sprawlingeverythingness #notsoincontrol #holdmyground #poem #poetry #poetsofinstagram #creative #creativeminds #words #write #writealittle #emotions #letitout #getitout #childrenofink https://www.instagram.com/p/BeN4m7elxwd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nn84puq4cx5c
