Write on Con!

I practically had a heart attack because when I went to post my Twitter pitch on the WriteonCon site, the site was down! Well, now I know that this is supposedly a common occurrence there. XD
Here's my post!


Twitter Pitch 
When 'Kitty' starts exposing everyone's darkest secrets. Teenager Myra Martin takes the case and she must stop Kitty from killing everyone.


First 100 Word Pitch 
Everyone has their different views on life, mine is 'don't sugarcoat it and roll with the flow'. Of course, some people think 'being popular really matters and I have to be like Barbie'. Tiffany was one of those people. She was there, every day of school, behind everyone listening to their conversations. Tiffany was the Queen Bee, the School Diva, the Alpha, and what ever else you want to call her. She was amazing in every which way. . .of course, a few people knew her flaws, and exposed her. Now, to Halle High, she's dead. Barbie girl has disappeared.



Yeah. I know, awesome, right? Well, that's mine and I'm happy! I was like the tenth person to post. Well, what do you think of my post? Comments?

Promptly Saturday (2)

Promptly Saturday!! I didn't take any of these photos, but these are awesome photos. Well, except for the Myra and Beth picture and the Old Navy photo. XD
By the way, I won a ten page critique. . .any tips on how to write 9,000 in a week?


What do you think when you see this cover?
A mystery? A romance?




What are they quarreling about?
Write down their dialogue! 


They are the perfect neighbors. . . Or are they keeping secrets?


Who drew this in math class? Bethany, the nerd or maybe it was Ace, the mysterious hottie.


What did this cat see??

Pictures!

Here are some epic pics that I took while on vacay. Cedric and Bertie were getting annoyed with all the pictures, so I made a deal with them, pictures only in Asheville, none in Myrtle Beach. They mainly went to the beach and walked along the pier and people watched. Me? Well I just went to the pool, walked on the pier, and people watched. So we basically did the same thing. XD


Getting ready to answer some questions.

Mrs. Revis and Mrs. McEntire talking. XD
I love this picture!
OMG! *spaz* THEY'RE SIGNING MY PICTURES.
Beautiful.


Yeah, it's out of focus, but it's still a good picture.

Cedric and Bertie about to be eaten by a loin. . .but I saved them!

Going to the gardens where Cedric is visiting friends.


It's going to rain! One last picture!


Okay, it didn't rain right away. So here are some more!



Sniffing the flowers and enjoying the sun while it lasts.


Do you see the dragonfly?


Ahhhhhh. Peace. Serenity. Goldfish? There were fishies in the pond!


My dad thought this was creepy. . .so he took a picture of it. XD


From the helicopter!!

Okay, this is the last picture. I thought this was so cool!


I was vacationing, so I didn't have much time to actually take pictures. These are pretty good. . .right? Well, it did start raining afterwards and then the internet went bye-bye because of the storm. I loved Asheville the most and next year we'll be going to the mountains in Asheville and Virginia. My parents were saying that next time we should bring my dogs. They were so scared and wacky when they came home because they hadn't been in their beds and they hadn't had the food that they were use to.  Well, I need some sleep. Toodles!


P.S. There will be a contest, but I am still collecting stuff for the contest! I promise, there are some super cool stuff in the package!

The curse is alive!

I was almost run over by a helicopter today. Yes, you heard right. My dad and I took a helicopter ride (Uber cool) and the guy didn't tell us when to leave or if we could, and so the helicopter was like hovering, waiting for us to run for it, but then the guy grabbed my dad's shoulder and pulled us back. Almost getting run over is not how I want to spend my summer. XD
About the curse. . .I think there is a curse on my mom's side because my Grandad (as I like to call him) died in a helicopter crash. R.I.P. I'm just glad that the curse didn't take effect now! I don't know if the curse is really a curse, but it spices up my life by saying I think there is a curse on my mom's side of the family. Ya know? :P
BTW, I'm sorry that I haven't been posting. A storm knocked out the internet at our hotel that we were staying at in Asheville. Yes, I have been taking pictures of Bertie and Cedric, but we don't have the cord to transfer pictures from our camera to the computer. -_- Thanks Mom.






P.S. I will post pictures of Bertie and Cedric when I get home, they're actually pretty good if I do say so myself. Some places I was afraid people would think I was nuts for toting around two little action figures/figurines, but once I saw some. . . uhr high (possibly drunk) drug addicts. . .I didn't think people would think I was nuts. . . compared to them, I'm as normal as you can get in Asheville.
P.P.S. I forgot to tell you that at the book signing (Ash to Nash) I almost peed in my pants, I was just that excited. Yes, it's true. I drink A LOT of water when I'm nervous. And Myra McEntire likes the Stephanie Plum series like me. And she read Janet Evanovich's Guide to Writing (she wrote the Stephanie Plum series). I'm reading the series and her book on writing right now. Alright, I'm done babbling!

My Nook shall be signed.

Okay, so all three hard-covered books at the McEntire/Revis/Schwab cost around $53 books all together!!! Yikes. . .
That's how I came up with an idea. If you have a nook, kindle, or an e-reader of some sort. Get your e-reader signed! Yes you heard me right. You can either buy a back for it, or just get them to sign the actual back! Then, you buy the books on the e-reader so that way, you technically have a book and a signed book! It saves a lot of money. As in, now I don't have to buy all three books, I can only buy one hardcover and then wait for the others to get a bit cheaper on my e-reader.
Oooohhhh yeeaaahhh. Oh, and if you don't want to get a back for your e-reader or there is no such thing as a back for your e-reader, you can always just get a plain case. My original idea was to get a black case and then get it signed in silver sharpie. How cool would that be? Pretty cool right?
Super cool article about this.
So what do YOU think? Comment about this, I wanna hear your opinions! :)






P.S. I'm super excited for Promptly Saturday. . . on the road! How special is that? Bertie and Cedric are very excited for the trip tomorrow. I promise I will try and tweet as much as I can tomorrow.

Cedric and Bertie




Like? Mmmmhhh? Like?? Well yeah, that's Cedric on the left, he's a gnome. Then, there's Bertie the hippo on the right, it's a girl.
Why am I posting a picture of them? Because! I'm taking them on my trip to Asheville and Myrtle beach! I'll be taking two pictures a day of both of them together in different place. The first day might be at a hotel, second day they're looking out the window, etc. I'm going to be trying to take pictures of them with my real camera to get better pictures, right now I'm using my iPod and they aren't very good pictures.

I don't think could see her tattoo, but here's a picture. It's a heart. On NCIS Abby has a hippo named Bert, so this is his sister, Bertie. XP
Like that tattoo? Well, I'll post biographies about them soon. 
I hope ya'll are as excited as I am for this!

Tennis camp. . really?

I have to go to tennis camp with two of my friends. I really don't want to go and this is the second day so I stayed home. Well, lemme just say this guy is a loon, a nut job, a spaz, an over enthusiastic creepazoid. Then, he gave me a lecture on hand eye cordination, learning, and getting comfortable with the racket. He's scary and I don't want to go to the camp anymore. Tennis is not my forte. . .what ever that means. XD
Well of course, it cost like $90, I don't care. I WANNA GET OUT!!!! Besides, I think I'm depressed because I have a cavity and I'm just that age where "It" starts happening. Also, I found out that when my grandpa died, he didn't hit a deer. . .he hit an RV! Well that makes my day greeeaaatttt. AND my dog is mad at me for no reason AND I grew out of my favorite pair of jeans, and I have to wait four days to get a new pair meaning I only have one pair of shorts and one pair of jeans. I have sweatpants, but still, not the point.
Of course, the camp ends on Thursday, but I can't take much more of this even though it's not even half a day. It's freakin' hot out and lemme just tell you, my shirt and shorts. . .and other things were soaking with sweat. . .and I don't sweat a lot so that must mean it was hot out. If you didn't already realize this, we're outside in the freaking heat. -_-
This sucks. Hopefully you're having a better week than me!
