Work at Home

Aug9

Since I’ve been on maternity leave for 3 weeks now, I have been debating on finding a “work at home” job.  However, there are a few problems.  One is that I’m not sure if they are legitimte or not.  I’ve been thinking of seriously being a freelance writer or a paid blogger.  But how would I be able to do that?  Maybe even review books on my blog and get paid for it.  Or review products or websites, or something.  I would just love to write and get paid for it.  I mean, who wouldn’t want to do that?  I love to read, I love to write.  Why not get paid for doing two things that I love to do?  It would be awesome and amazing, and freeing in a way I think.  Heck, I would love to be an at home editor for a publishing company.  Because then I would be able to read books and edit them.  Then, maybe do a double job and review them as well!  Maybe I’m just having a wishful thinking moment, but I don’t want to go back to work outside my home.  I would love to stay home with my gorgeous little girl!  (And not just because I am breast feeding, but because I can’t stand to leave her for even a second — Unless I want sleep, of course..).  But we shall see, because I have school starting on the 20th (online) and work in 3 weeks, if not on the 20th as well…

Free books

May10

So as many of you may know, today is the day that Deena Remiel’s short story is free on amazon (check out my previous post). Also I was bored this morning and decided to look through some ebooks for the kindle that were offered free. I got 16. As you can tell I’m an avid reader. But most, actually all, are romances. ^_^. I will put up later what I got an let you know.

Also another good short story to read is Wicked Werewolf Night by Lisa Renee Jones. Short but oh so worth the read. I really enjoyed it. Giving it 5 stars!

Finals, Story, and Boredom, Oh My!

May18

So, tomorrow is my last final.  The one where no one knows what in the hell is going on in the class.  Cost accounting.  It has to be the most pointless class ever to take in college majoring in accounting.  Oh, so are these entrepreneurship classes that I’m taking online next semester, but those are just so that I can get an easy A and get hours to graduate.  Anyway, cost accounting, pointless.

Where the hell did my remote go?

Oh, sorry.  Anyway, as any of you can tell, I am a BIG procrastinator.  I rarely study and when I do, it’s too much and I end up not doing so well on my test.  So, I’m thinking of just studying in the morning when I get to school at 8, although my final is at 930.

On the other side of life.  I have finished chapter 1 of my story.  I’ve even got someone who read it, say that it’s really good and I should continue it.  Oh, I am.  Not sure as to how to begin to publish it when it’s done, but I’ll figure that out when I get it finished.  Smashwords seems like a good place to start and publish, but I want books out, not e-books.  Well that would be nice, if I can sell it perhaps.  But, you never know.  Guess we will just see when it happens.

Chapter 2 began actually with some intense drama.  I mean, I pretty much cried while writing it.  And every time I get back to it, I cry.  The whole chapter is a tear-jerker in my opinion.  Plan is for the heroine to go through something drastic that changes her life in this chapter.  I figured the sooner I started it, the better.  Right?  The hero went through his, and he occasionally has flashbacks and has heartbreak still.  Of course, he doesn’t know if he can ever love again.  The heroine isn’t sure if she can even begin to find love and be in a relationship of sorts.  But, most stories are beginning to be that way now-a-days, right?

I want very much to post some excerpts, but I think I will if I decide to publish the book.  Gotta find the perfect publisher for me of course.

Oh dear Lord! And boredom has struck my life once again.  I’m at that point as to what to do.  I can study, I can write my story, and I can watch movies.  AND I’m doing option 3, while writing on here.  I’m bored and tired.  Probably need some rest.

All I know is that I have to finish chapter 2 and send that off to my friend so he can read it by Friday or Saturday.

XOXO
