HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!

On this day where we gather with friends and loved ones let us be thankful for the many blessings we have.  You don't need to be rich in a money sense but rich in love and kindness.

Be thankful for what you have today and for the coming days ahead. Watch the miracles that will surround you when you wake each morning being thankful for the day ahead.

Let us be kind to our fellow man and keep love and peace in our hearts so that our light shines bright and will erase the hatred that is erupting in our society today.

Kindle vs Nook

Nook

Kinde

Kindle vs Nook...Which do you have?

Both are similar and both are e-readers.

Amazon has the Kindle and 

Barnes & Noble has the Nook.

You can download and read on both. They both are compact and can easily fit into a handbag, duffle bag, or backpack.

Which one do you have to read your ebooks on?

The beauty of these handy devices is that you can download what you intend to read and there is no need to buy a book. When you are done you can save the story or delete it. No pesky books to store.

Handy devices for sure!

Of course, you can download an ebook on your PC and read it on that. A perfect way to relax and enjoy a good fantasy story. Perhaps one where the character stumbles upon another dimension of time.  Hmm sounds interesting to me!

The End

The End!  Endings can be tricky and some like a happy endings and others could care less.
What type of ending do you prefer?

I believe most people would like a happy or at least satisfying ending compared a story that has a sad ending
.
Yet life's endings are not always happy and if a story is close to real life then it can be a challenge to achieve that.

That's  why I enjoy writing fiction. My characters  mimic  people I know, and the storyline is usually up to my imagination.

So now I decide if my third book that I am finishing should have a happy ending or not.
What do you think?

Titles Are Tricky

Titles can be tricky when choosing one as a title for a book.  I wonder what techniques other writers use to pick their book titles?

AS for myself I try and get something from the story and use it as part of the title.

Like The Magic Herb part of the story is about a magic herb discovered in the mountains of Pensylvania and how it works its magic.

With Even Exchange, I did the same thing. I had taken from the story the challenges and risks tampering with magic. There is always a price! Some kind of exchange is needed.

Now I am pondering what to name m y third fantasy book. Hmmm, I will get back to you on that one.

Leave a comment if you feel compelled to.

Until next time

Follow Your Passion

Do you have a passion? It can be anything that makes you feel happy.  Mine is writing. I can sit behind a computer for hours oblivious to everything that is going on.

I get so intuned to what I am doing usually writing I can lose half a day.

It's important to follow your passion because we are on this earth for such a short time.

"Follow your bliss and the Universe will open doors for you
where there were only walls"      Joseph Campbell

Very true. So whatever your passion is......follow it today and don't delay.

Reminder...my ebook  Even Exchange on Amazon is on sale until the end of November.

Writing And Endings

As I have said before in my previous post writing is fun but then comes the ending.

How to write an ending that makes sense or is pleasing.  Since I use real life people when writing my characters sometimes the endings are not happy.

I had been e-mailed from some who didn't like my ending?  Well, life is real and depending on my mood I sometimes will stay fairly close to the real thing.

Then I had another person write me and tell me she didn't like the sex scenes in The Magic Herb. Well in real life people have  sex!     If it's called for I write it in.

So now with my third book The Mystery of Mill Brook.....Once again I a contemplating the ending.

A happy one or not?   Hmm,  I will let you know when I finish it.


Have a great day!

Review- The Magic Herb

The Magic Herb is a fantasy story about a woman who finds love...but not in a conventical way.
Follow her challenges and explore her new discoveries.

Please leave me a review or comment.

Thank you in advance        The Magic Herb - She yearned for love BUT will she be able ...

Creative Writing

Creative writing is fun!  I have always enjoyed it and allowing my mind to create interesting story 

lines. Many writers write in different venues. I began Blogging then did some ghost writing until I decided to write for myself.

That's how I wrote my first book- Even Exchange.  Actually I had begun The Magic Herb first but that book I had put down and began writing  Even Exchange.  Then after it  was published I then had the urge to finish The Magic Herb.

Many authors will start a book...put it down...attempt something else and then come back to it.  Has anyone ever done that?  I am sure I am not the only one!.

Now I am working on my third book and I am pretty excited about it. I had gotten a good response with the Amazon promotion so I am encouraged that my new book will do as well.

Until my next blog entry

Enjoy the day

Sale

My ebook on Amazon is still on sale for $.99  due to the response I have decided to keep it at this low price for the month of November.

I enjoyed writing this story especially since I had met a woman similar to the one in Even Exchange. I try and create my stories that are close to life with one exception.they are fantasies.  I take some of the traits from the people and sometimes embellish them a little but not very much.

This young woman had low self-esteem to do what she did in the story. Love cannot be manipulated for any good. Many women have so much going for them yet they will lower their standards to have someone.

I hope you enjoy the story and leave me a comment or review.

Have a blessed day!
