Emma Johnson, who blogs over at wealthysinglemommy.com, wrote a post recently saying that the institution of marriage was dead and instead of a marriage people should be embarking on 10 year contracts with a pre-nup and a well defined goal.   One of the comments she posts to someone who agrees with her was, “Right? Who could argue with me?” I can argue with you, and I will by saying your entire premise is flawed. You say that marriage is dead [Click Comments To Continue]

My entire life I’ve been a writer, and last year that all culminated in me publishing Abandon.   Unfortunately, after writing Abandon I found myself burnt out on writing, on the story, and everything to do with my blog – which is why I took such a large hiatus.  During this time, I found myself beginning to hate the story and I often spent time opening the document to look at it, and thinking how much it sucked. (In fact, as many of my friends [Click Comments To Continue]

Before I get into what happened with me and A.H.Helmi (sorry for the name change – he’s constantly making me write not his real name in here), let me explain a little about me.  I play video games (my current obsession, Sim City 5), I love music, I write.  I design websites, I love to drive fast, and I like to spend money.  I’m an immediate gratification kind of person, but I try not to rely on others to provide me that gratification.  I have [Click Comments To Continue]

As many of you know, at least those of you of on facebook, I have been on a recent kick (ha!) to lose weight.  I have been eating healthy, and I joined my local Title Boxing club and try to go three times a week (at least). What many of you don’t know was the motivation behind it.  It all started around my birthday, I found myself having these horrible night sweats.  At first, I just thought it was because I was constantly saying at Amr’s house, [Click Comments To Continue]

Last night I went out with Katina and her bridal party to dinner at Friday’s.  It was interesting because aside from work related things, I don’t really hang out with anyone anymore.  (Well, and things with Kellie and Thomas.)  It was fun times, and it was nice to get out of the house and be with other people.  It wasn’t nice enough to keep me out though, and I ended up going home and having my first meeting with my editor for Abandon. It actually [Click Comments To Continue]

I have a fabulous friend Chloe who is that friend that you would love to hate because she does everything better than you, but she’s so damn nice you can’t.  Seriously: crafting, make up, food, clothing, mothering… you name it, she does it better than 90% of the people I know.  (And that’s only because I know some famous people in their genre.)  To prove my point, I will show you a picture of Chloe and I from one of the rare nights out that she [Click Comments To Continue]

For zombie aficionado’s like myself, there is no better book on the genre than Max Brookes’ World War Z.  It is written like a UN report on the zombie apocalypse after it happens – an oral history of sorts.  There are interviews from people all over the world and explains it from it’s initial outbreak (in China) to the efforts of the world to cope after the zombies are contained. So when I heard that Brad Pitt had won a bidding war with [Click Comments To Continue]

In this great journey of self-publishing my own novel, I’ve had the opportunity to talk with many other self published authors.  One of them is the amazing Kate Campbell, who has a way with words that I wish I could bottle up and steal for myself.  Kate and I also have a very similar history, starting in journalism and moving to self publishing your own novel, so I’m very excited that I was able to score an interview with Kate regarding her writing [Click Comments To Continue]

So, there’s a story that I’ve seen on facebook a couple times in the past couple hours that I felt like I needed to comment on, and since I’m doing National Blog Posting Month, I figured that I would chime in on this and use my SEO powers for good – so for all of you who came here from a search, here is what the staffer said: From the moment Mitt Romney stepped off stage Tuesday night, having just delivered a brief concession speech he wrote only [Click Comments To Continue]

I’ve joined a blog hop called The Next Big Thing Blog Hop.  Basically, every Wednesday, a couple new indie authors are invited to join into this and it’s a way for us to network and share a little about ourselves with you.  I hope you’ll join me on this journey as we blog hop our way through some new reads. Special thanks to Daniel Alexander, who was a featured author in week 20 for asking me to participate.  You can check him out at the [Click Comments To Continue]
