Writing Blog

If you didn’t already know, I’m an aspiring author. I’m currently writing a young adult novel. My friend Kiera is also an aspiring author and started a writers’ blog recently, Aspiring Writers Unite. She said I can contribute a post whenever I want to talk about my writing. I put up my first post today talking about my writing progress and goals. If you want to read it click HERE. Any of you aspiring authors?

Have a wonderful weekend!! Yea it’s Friday!

My husband the reviewer!!

Hi my wonderful blogging friends! I wanted to real quick tell you some exciting news. My husband has agreed to review books on my blog. He loves to read Young Adult fiction too! Most nights you can find us sitting in our family room each reading a YA book, unless it’s Monday night when Castle is on. 🙂 His reviews will allow me to feature books on the blog I might not get a chance to read which will give all my lovely readers, that’s you, more info on some great Clean Teen Fiction.

Look for one of these pictures at the bottom of every review post from now on.

Happy Halloween!

In honor of Halloween I’ll post a picture of my husband Colt and me from two years ago. Can you guess who we are? Hint… YA book characters.

That’s right! We’re Bella and Edward from the Twilight saga. You can’t tell in this picture, but Colt even had honey colored contacts. No one knew we were dressed up, but we had a good laugh acting like teenagers.

Happy Halloween!

trying new things

An awesome blog called The Story Siren just posted about Getting Followers without being Spam. (click the links to see the site) She always does such a great job explaining blogging topics. After reading her blog post I decided to start a twitter page and sign up on networked blogs. I think the networked blog will automatically update what I post on my blog to my facebook page and maybe twitter page. Sounds cool. I’m still figuring things out. I’ve always wanted to do Twitter but never have since I don’t know what I’m doing. Anyway, I decided there’s nothing to loose.

Here’s to trying new things!! Am I seriously the last one to twitter? Never mind, don’t answer that.

Happy Reading Weekend!
