As promised, drum roll please, the title and a bit about my novel. It’s called The New Cisco Project (originally Artificial Intelligence). I know, maybe not the most most exciting reveal of the summer, but I felt like I should have the courtesy to publicly announce what my book is called. Now, I’m not even sure if I have…
You think that with school over I would have a lot more time to post things…well, you and I both thought wrong. Since I have a job where I work as a tutor, it seems like I never left school. Every morning I still wake up at six thirty and don’t get home until three.…
Don’t judge a book by its cover. I bet you’ve heard that saying a million times. But is it really true? Do we really read something if the cover doesn’t appeal to us? Let me give you my take on this. My favourite book of all time is Battle Royale by Koushun Takami, which I probably would…
Right when I get used to the idea of editing, it’s done and the next stage is started. Well, I won’t be doing the layout but, fingers crossed, I think that the editing is done. I can’t get over the fact that every day is one day closer to being completely finished. I’ve put a…
Since Friday I have been working through the final copy of my manuscript. Once I am finished reading and making sure that everything seems right, it will be off to layout and design, which is incredibly exciting. All I can say is that I feel kind of sorry for editors. I know that they love…
Here it goes, my first attempt at selling myself. No, I don’t mean literally, I mean in ways of self-promotion. Now, you might be wondering why the cover picture is a painting, and why I have “art” in the title. Again, I assure you that I have not changed career paths and have decided to…
Ever have those nights where you’re exhausted but you just can’t sleep? I’ve had too many to count recently. The other night I started thinking about why people write. Then it turned into why I write. Whenever I had to fill out a personal questionnaire that asked what my hobbies or interests were I would…
As the title of this post suggests, yes, I am now one step closer to holding the finished manuscript in my hand. I have recently finished the daunting task of editing my manuscript for plot mistakes, continuity errors, and everything else that my editor deemed wrong with it. This took a lot longer than I…
I felt that since I have no editing updates to talk about I would switch topics. For the last few months girls, myself included, have been running around finding dresses, making hair appointments, and making sure that they have the perfect shade of nail polish. All of this is because of one very special night.…
Sadly, and most regrettably, it has been awhile since I have posted anything. Not to make excuses, but as the school year is winding down, the pressure is steadily increasing. Two weeks ago I had assignments, tests, a French proficiency exam, and even a violin festival to attend to. But after all of that stress…
