Last year, my costume idea was a little more quirky, it involved rainbows and tulle (things I love). This year I'm gonna go a little more subtle. Classic white, classic unicorn meets human.<br />

Probably because I own a crazy blue-eyed Husky named Frost who sort of looks like a wolf, so I love using her in my Halloween Costume. Plus, you get to where a giant red cape, and if you say you don't like running around the house with a giant cape tail flying out behind you like you're a Disney Villain...then I know you're lying.</span><br />

Christmas narrowly edges it out, only because PRESENTS and December in Arizona is when actual sweater weather begins. Anyways, one of the most difficult things about Halloween for me, besides not eating all the candy before passing it out, is deciding what I'm going to dress up as. I love dressing up. I do it even when it's not Halloween, but those are stories for different days. There are so many costumes to choose from that I can find myself becoming overwhelmed. So, every day up till Halloween I'll be posting a costume idea, one that I love! Hopefully it may help you find a little costume clarity or give you an idea of what you may want to dress up as.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used to watch I Love Lucy with my grandma when I was a little kid, and I absolutely adored everything about her - Her style, her hair, her relationship with Ricky, and most of all her AMAZING comedic ability. For me, the Golden Age of Hollywood icon I idolized wasn't Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn or Elizabeth Taylor - it was Lucille Ball. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a great many things that distract me away from writing, but ironically it is also those things that fuel my imagination. Netflix, Tumblr, Hulu, Youtube, Pinterest...I can get lost on any of these sites for HOURS. I'll think it's only been 20 minutes, 30 tops, and I look at the clock and gasp in horror as I realize 2 or 3 hours have gone by. I used to beat myself up over the amount of time I spent distracted on my computer instead of spending those hours working on my next book, but I don't do that anymore. Over the years I've learned a very valuable truth about myself - I need to be distracted. It actually HELPS my writing process. About a year ago I tried taking my laptop and going to places with no wifi and attempting to write there. It was awful. I would sit and stare at the screen or glance around at my surroundings, completely uninspired. Now, this isn't always the case. Sometimes, when I'm feeling in the mood, nature or remote locations can fuel my creative juices, but not when forced. So I gave up the idea that I needed to focus 100% of my time on the computer writing and let myself get distracted. I would spend an hour on Tumblr scrolling through blogs, some with content or advice that had me biting at the bit to get back to writing. I would marathon a show on Netflix and then find my imagination completely re-inspired. My point is, don't beat yourself up for doing something that's unrelated to writing. Sometimes it turns out to be an invaluable writing tool. Sometimes it turns out to be nothing but a distraction...but also a lot of times a much needed one.</span><br />

Everyone is different. Everyone's writing process is different, and we all have different ways of perservering and smashing through that awful confidence crusher - WRITERS BLOCK!!! Dun...dun...dun. I'm gonna share some of my tips and if they help anyone then it was worth taking the time to write them down.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One of my favorite go-to outside "tools" for setting the writing mood and setting the tone for my imagination to roam where it needs to and not over imagining how awesome the new Chicken Parm Breadstick Sandwich from Olive Garden is going to be - is <b style="font-style: italic;">MUSIC</b>. I'll just put my headphones in, drowning out all other sounds and let the melody stir up my creative juices. It sets a tone AND clears out other sounds. I have different songs for different scenes. Obviously Enya isn't going to work when I have my main characters kicking troll ass, but I'm going to include a list of some of my all time favorite fallbacks. For me, 9 times out of 10 these songs work. Maybe one of them will work for you. Maybe you have your own song or song list that gets you through some long scenes. Either way keep writing and never give up!!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">The small town of Delphi, Colorado wasn't like most towns. New people were always coming and going, there were large numbers of animal attacks in the surrounding woods, and a suspiciously high rate of missing persons. This was the town were seventeen-year old Eden Day had lived her entire life. Eden and her three best friends, Mel, Wes, and Jasmine love to hang out, eat junk food, watch too much television and dream about someday leaving Delphi to see the world. That was until the dark rainy night when Eden was walking home alone in the woods and was attacked by a vampire. Bleeding and broken she crawled into an old abandoned church…where she died.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">Miraculously coming back to life, she senses something within her is changing. Is she still human? Is she becoming a vampire? Something that would be terribly inconvenient considering she's a vegetarian. In her quest to discover what is happening to her, Eden meets Oswald Chang, a genius computer geek with extensive knowledge of the Supernatural. Through him she learns of the secrets behind her town and her newfound connections to them.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">As the vampire attacks increase, Eden must learn to embrace what she is becoming in order to protect all that she holds close. If she can do this while still passing English and avoiding the irresistibly charming, but equally infuriating new boy in town Eden just might have a chance of surviving till her graduation.</span>PMDoolinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06361719883296255679noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859381912137233200.post-86249147394606238242015-08-30T16:50:00.000-07:002015-08-30T16:50:06.625-07:00Writing Advice Time - Do Not Give Up!<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>"If I waited till I felt like writing, I'd never write at all."</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For me this is true and it isn't. There are moments where I'm just itching to write. I can almost feel the words trying to claw their way out of my brain. It's one of the reasons why I always make sure to carry around a small notebook and pen with me. I learned my lesson the hard way. There's nothing worse than being stuck on a beautiful beach with the sound of the waves acting as the background music to the most epic new story springing forth in your mind and have absolutely <i>NOTHING</i> to write these ideas down in (not even a phone because you decided to be free and one with nature without any restraints from the outside world - <b style="font-style: italic;">NEVER AGAIN </b>- I'll enjoy the ocean with my iphone in my back pocket).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But then there are also times when I just do not feel like writing, at all. Sometimes just the thought of having to write makes me feel like my body is breaking out in rebellious hives. That's when I'll Netflix binge or hang out with friends or while away hours on Tumblr, anything to keep my mind off of the fact that I should be writing but I'm not. My advice for those moments is <u style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">DO NOT GIVE UP.</u> Binge on Netflix, hang out with friends, spend way too much time on Tumblr, but then sit back down at your computer or in front of your notebook and write...write anything. Start with a grocery list or a letter to a friend and go from there. Some of the best scenes I've ever written have come from moments where I was simply writing nonsense just so that I was writing something. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just because you may not feel like writing doesn't mean wonderful, engaging, informative work can't be done. You may surprise yourself.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Writing is hard. It's frustrating. And sometimes we feel like we really just can't do it. We might as well give up because obviously we're never going to finish. That is an awful feeling. So, I'm here to continue sharing the tips that help me keep writing; keep cranking out my books even after my of "I can't do it!" doubt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My tip for today is - <span style="color: #cc0000;">Have Your Own Writing Space</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Have a space that's designated as just yours and just for writing. A place where your comfortable and relaxed. A space where your brain can be free to simply focus on your work. Years ago I started writing The Protectors Saga in my parents house, in a little nook with a desk, a light and bookshelf where I could tuck myself away and tap on my computer. I made it mine. Decorated it and added things to make me comfortable. To this day, that is the spot where I go back to in order to write my Protectors Saga. I'm there so much that my parents decided to keep my bedroom as it was instead of turning it into the mini gym my mother had longed for once I moved out. I've also been blessed with a two bedroom apartment and an understanding boyfriend who let me turn our small walk-in closet into my own personal tiny writing space. He only threatened to move all his kicks back in there on the few occasions he walked in and caught me watching Netflix instead of working on my books. The closet is small, but that's all I really need. I can shut the door to my tiny hideaway and let my mind and imagination wander to the places I need it to. Carve out a place of your own. Even if it's no bigger than a closet, it's <b style="font-style: italic;">yours</b>. </span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">Once again a Supernatural gif perfectly sums up my life. Writing is hard. It's hella hard. There are days when I'll literally be sitting at the computer for 5 hours straight and only a sentence will get written. Those days are terrible; they defeat you a little bit. Still, I've somehow managed to write six books in just under four years. I still feel like I could do better. That I could do more. I imagine all writers feel that way, but I'm still proud of my accomplishments.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are some tips and tricks I've picked up along the way that have helped me keep going; to shake off the doubt and the ever looming writer's block. Some I've discovered on my own. Some I've borrowed from other writers. Now I want to share them with you. Just because I know how difficult in can be to be stuck in your book. It feels like you're pounding your head against a brick wall. So if some of what works for me can work for you...I am more than happy to share. I'll share a tip a day. I actually don't have that many so this won't last much past April.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My tip of the day is - <span style="color: #cc0000;">JOIN A CREATIVE WRITING GROUP</span></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Seriously, I held off joining one for a long time. I had a terrible experience with Creative Writing classes in college. They just weren't for me. I took every little criticism to heart. It ended up changing my writing style so much that I felt like I didn't even know who I was as a writer anymore. But I had a lot of writer friends who swore my Creative Writing groups. So I decided to go on to Meetup. I'm sure most of you know what it is, but if you don't it's a site where people of similar interests in your area can form groups and then meet up in person. I joined Meetup and found a Creative Writing group that actually seemed pretty cool. And wouldn't you know it, my friends were right. It's a group of people you can discuss ideas with, bounce storylines off of, see if something is working or if maybe you really should scrap it. Most importantly, I've found that people in these Creative Writing groups give each other support. They know the troubles and hardships of being a writer. They know how passionately you feel about your work. They're going to encourage you to keep going even when you're beating your skull against that proverbial brick wall.</span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love to take fashion inspiration from some of my favorite tv/movie characters. I made a post earlier about adopting creativity into multiple facets of one's life. And one way I love being creative is in my fashion. My closet is an ode to different characters, all taken into modern wearable outfits. I save my true costume garb for Ren Faires and conventions! Today I’m feeling very Amalthea from The Last Unicorn…one of my all time favorite 80s fantasy movies.</span></div>

They happen to me all the time. Sometimes it seems like I can't get through an hour of straight writing without doubting myself or second guessing a scene. If I go more than 5 minutes without being able to move on I simply step away from the computer put on a song I can shake my little ass to and dance...just dance. It clears my mind, gives me a nice boost of endorphins and gets me out of my head. Then after the song, or perhaps two, ends...I sit back down at my computer with a usually clearer head and clearer path.</span><div>

Besides, sometimes you're just not in the mood to push through the throng of glitter and fake Samurai sword wielding shoppers at your local Party City...and don't even start with Saver or your Goodwill stores...they're even worse. Like I've said, I LOVE to dress up, but being a wee bit lazy has its perks, especially when there are some other incredible options. Options in the form a single piece...or a onesie. I go crazy for a good ONESIE. They're comfy, warm in the winter months (not that it ever gets too cold in AZ) and some of them are downright adorably awesome. Here's a few you can button or zip up Halloween night, head out to a party or take your kids trick 'r' treating.<br />

I love manicures, particularly because it means I don't have to do any work, but I'm sure you can also do some of these by yourself.<br />
So here are some ideas...enjoy...and try not to breath in too many fumes while attempting these -<br />

Can you tell I love the holiday? Any excuse to dress up as something else, I am ALL ABOUT that. But this post isn't about costumes. It's about my second favorite thing associate with Halloween...SWEETS!!! I have a massive sweet tooth. It's one of the reasons my 'diet' fads consist of salads and sugar...that's it...I wonder why they never seem to work? It doesn't matter. It is the season to indulge in all thinks sweet and delectable.<br />
A Dooling tradition that I plan to keep going till I die is our annual cupcake decorating party we have right before Halloween. We bake all different kinds of the most tasty yummy cupcakes (half the vanilla ones are devoured by me before they have a chance to reach the table - sorry not sorry) and we decorate them them. Some are tastefully elegant (not my doing), some are cutesy ghosts and pumpkins (not my doing either) and some are gruesomely horrific (my doing - you're welcome).<br />
Who doesn't love a cupcake? Mini cakes you can shove into your mouth quick enough that the people you're with don't have time to realize how many you've eaten - they're amazing!<br />
So in honor of Halloween month I'm gonna share a few cupcake ideas with you all. Have a decorating party! Take pictures of your culinary masterpieces! Share them online and eat then gobble them up! Onto some of my favorites:<br />

I love this one because it seems super easy (my kind of decorating job).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's also an ode to Vampires and I love me a good design.</div>

Another cupcake that seems relatively easy...though I've been known to say</div>

that and then end up with something that looks like my dog threw it up.</div>

Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite Halloween movies (and yes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I classify more as a Halloween than Christmas movie) - so I love the idea of </div>

a Cupcake with a little movie theme.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cute but also kinda creepy in a cuddly way. Perfect for kids -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Graveyard cupcakes are a fun and easy (have I mentioned I love easy)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
decorating idea. And from personal experience, Milano Cookies make</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
excellent headstones.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Witches - another staple of Halloween. I just LOVE the colors on theses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It looks like they used fondant to make the hats, but I have found if you take Tootsie Rolls</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and place them in the microwave for a few seconds they become pliable and you can shape them </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
into whatever you want - like a Witches hat.</div>

October is my happy place. It's like being wrapped up in a warm zombie printed blanket. It's equal parts cinnamon pumpkin fall delight and horrific costume clad fright night...like I said...my happy place.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As sad and inconsistent as my blog may be I do plan and hope on doing some October updating. Nothing like my favorite month and second favorite holiday to get give me a kick in my blogging ass.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">AND in prep for that, here is a little pic of me and my peeps celebrating one of October's highlights - <span style="color: orange;">HALLOWEEN</span> -</span><br />

Your plan is blown to pieces. That is kind of what happened to me this year. After illnesses, a death in the family, switching jobs - I was finally able to get back to what I love - WRITING.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">It may have taken a year more than I was hoping for, but at long last the 5th book in my Protectors installment is done and available to the world (I fist-pumped with excitement so hard I almost dislocated my shoulder). So there you have it, my slacker butt finished and is working away on my next book. I've learned my lesson, though. I'm making no promises as to when the 6th book is coming out. I can only promise that I will continue to work on it - long into the wee hours of the night - a caffeine high of diet coke keeping my jumpy - and my dog whining at me to stop messing with her sleep schedule.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Alright, now time for links. I'll post the Kindle link tomorrow as it is not yet quite available...silly Amazon:</span></div>

Oh wait, you all already knew that. Yes, my blog skills suck, but I'm in a constant state of trying to get better. In yet another effort I think I'm going to be adding videos to my blog where I can just talk and tell you what's going on with the books I'm writing and anything else in my life I feel is remotely interesting enough to share. So, hopefully I'll have the first vid up sometime this week<span style="font-size: large;"> where I'll be <span style="font-size: large;">talking a little bit about the Protectors Saga and whe<span style="font-size: large;">n approximately book 5 <span style="font-size: large;">should be expected <span style="font-size: large;">to come out.</span></span></span></span></span> See you soon :)</span><br />

<strong>Things I am thankful for today:</strong><br />
<ol>
<li>Pasta Salad on sale at the local grocery store</li>
<li>Finding new Sam/Dean gifs on Tumblr</li>
<li>The lovely stray cats I feed not leaving me any sacrificial “gifts” of dead roaches, lizards, or birds on my front steps.</li>
</ol>
<strong>Things I need to bitch about today:</strong><br />
<ol>
<li>Ineffectual air-conditioning units in 115 degree weather.</li>
<li>People who ask me for my last piece of gum and then act like it’s
not the excruciating test of self sacrifice that it actually is.</li>
<li>The idea that flicking your turn signal on 1.5 seconds before you
make an abrupt halting turn is acceptable (To the guy in the blue Toyota
- IT IS NOT!)</li>

I know it's been forever. Unfortunately life and the real job that actually pays my bills have gotten in the way. But I promise, I keep plugging along at it and as a little treat (and to show that it WILL eventually come out) I give to you the very first page of The Protectors Saga Book 5 - </span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Chapter 1</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
smell of burnt flesh and blood filled the air around Avery, seeping into her
nostrils. She kept her eyes shut tight against the piercing flood of bright
light emanating from the open Gateway. A cackling laughter echoed throughout
the clearing, travelling across Avery's skin like painful ice. She didn't need
to open her eyes to know exactly who the laughter was coming from.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">They
had failed. The Protectors had failed. Avery had failed. Simone had won. She had
killed over half of The Five, used their blood to open the Gateway to the
Underworld, and now Malvenia, Draven's Demon mother, Queen of the Underworld,
was standing in front of her, laughing over her escape from the Underworld and
entrance into Avery's.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Through
her closed eyelids Avery could tell that the blinding red glow from the Gateway
had died down, and yet she was still unable to open her eyes. At first she
couldn't understand why, but the uncontrollable shaking of her body let her
know that it was due to fear. If she opened her eyes everything would be real
and the most dangerous villain the Protectors had yet to meet would be standing
in front of her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Next
to her, Avery could feel Draven begin to stir. Slowly she moved out her hand
towards him and took hold of his hand, ignoring how rough his charred flesh
felt on her skin. She squeezed his hand, gentle enough not to peel off any of
his damaged skin, but hard enough to help speed up his rising.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">"Avery."
Draven moaned, his voice gravelly and his face still turned towards the ground.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Rocking
on his arm lightly with her other hand, Avery breathed out in a panicked voice,
"Draven."</span></div>
