Birthday & Update.
Today was another Friday, so I weighed in and lost another pound....bringing the total to 40 pounds! 30 pounds of that I lost since June when I was diagnosed with Diabetes. I can see that my blood sugar seems to be getting in better control with the more weight I lose and I still have about 70 pounds to go.
On another note, my Birthday is Sunday. I will be 23. Nothing too fancy planned, just will spend it with family and have some Pizza. Since it's a special occasion seems like it would be okay to Indulge.
Finally, I've been working on my second novel. The first novel I have not given up on, but I am giving it a rest. I am excited about the novel and am finding a lot of new ideas. I will post about it sometime after Sunday. I hope you all will enjoy to find out what it will be about....and I hope one day I will be able to find a great publisher who will publish it.
Till next time, I will talk to all of you soon.

Upcoming Writing Projects: More Info
So for the past few weeks I have been working on new writing projects (and new techniques for old projects too). I thought I would give a quick update for anyone interested.
First, the "old" project with "new" techniques. I read a tip given by the author that inspires me the most (who happens to also be my favorite author) Ellen Hopkins. She talked about creating your characters, figuring out what they are all about and let them tell their own story. Rather than create the plot and the situations and trying to make the characters fit in. Create the story around who they are. So I started working on that with two of my novel ideas and learned that two of the stories are actually going to work together (but still be separate).
Next, the big writing project that will launch September 1st. I am working on different subjects and with as many ideas that I can find. I am still kind of in the brainstorming stage, and slowly working into research and rough draft stage. I would like to publish one article/creative writing piece a day, or two if possible.
Some ideas are music reviews, movie reviews, book reviews, electronic/game/entertainment reviews, GIMP tutorials, Top 5/10 articles, health/weight loss/diabetes articles
Any suggestions on what I should write about? Anything you would like to know more about? I am open to researching a topic and writing about it.

Novel Idea [five]
First I want to say, I am not ripping off Ellen Hopkins novel entitled Impulse. Yes, it sounds like it might be relateable...however I am going to take a different spin on the story.
Three to Five strangers end up in Blackstone, a mental hospital, because they all tried to end their lives. Not sure how many strangers I am going to use yet. I may end up making it be about just one patient, or maybe two who fall in love. Still working out the details.
If you have any ideas on how I should take this story, feel free to let me know. Would love to hear what other people would like to see.
Visit my page later on for continuing information on this specific novel.

Novel Idea [Four]
Here is the next novel idea that I have in mind.
A women in her 30’s loses her husband and is left to carry on with two children (10 and 7 years). She never had a job because her husband made enough to support the whole family, they can survive a while with what’s left of what he has made but eventually they use it all and are left broke.
The beginning of the story shows the woman as she watches her husband take his final breath, and the machine to flatline.
The story follows her and her children trying to get by after the man dies.
Will update this when I add more information to the plot.
Thoughts

Novel Idea [Three]
Here is the next idea that I have come up with for a novel. I want to be original, and creative but there are so many stories out there, so it is hard sometimes to come up with something that hasn't been done yet. Anyway...I digress...
My story is about a college girl whose life takes a turn down a bad road. In the beginning she was a smart straight A student, and a bright girl who grew up with Christian values. After some time in college, she meets some new people who lead her down the wrong path and end up leaving her stranded.
Can she pick up the broken pieces and fix her life, or is it too late? Tune in for more.
I came up with this story line from past experience, and from stories I have heard from friends and other people.
Thoughts?

Novel Idea [Two]
For the past four or five years, I have been coming up with new ideas for novels that I want to complete eventually. Now that I have this blog, I have decided to share the ideas and see what others think.
This story is the first one that I came up with, and I started writing it while I was a senior in high school.
Teenage Love Tragedy.
Two Lovers: Cheyenne and Andrew met in high school.She was a senior with great grades, with the world before her. She planned on going to college to study fashion design. Andrew was a junior and an all star athlete and musician. Music was his life and he planned to go on to college to further his music learning. However much to their surprise, their plans would fall short due to Andrew’s illness and body that was falling apart quickly. It struck him fast and ended his life shortly after he turned 18.
Cheyenne went crazy.Psychotic? Lunacy? She swore she saw his ghost. She was sent to an institution where she has a complete break down/panic attack where she sees her mothers ghost; who talks to her. This discussion turns Cheyenne’s whole life around.
She gets better and gets released, and is able to graduate high school after finishing her credits up with summer school.She goes to Julliard to study art and fashion;and finally gets an internship with a fashion magazine.One day on the way home from the internship, She sees both her mothers and Andrews ghost and she gets in an accident.Its too late when she gets to the hospital and the last words that spill from her lips are, “I Love You”; speaking to Andrew.

New Novel Idea
Not sure if I am going to carry this one out, but I wanted to write the idea out while it is still in my mind. Later on I will write about my other novel ideas as well, but for now here is the newest one.
The novel will be about a small group of people who have lost someone close to them by suicide. I chose this topic because it is very close to me, because I have lost a family member and a few friends to this. The book will explore how this group of people cope and how they survive losing someone. The small group meet up at a support group type thing (yeah not the best description but I am just hashing out what is my mind right now). They talk about their anger, fear, guilt and how they wish they could go back in time to save the person they lost.
I want to write about this because it happens everyday, sadly. Maybe the book will help others who feel depressed and suicidal to see how the people around them would feel if they were to pass on before their time.
For a long time I felt guilty when my uncle took his life. That turned into rage, and anger against God. However I know now that a gunshot was the only thing that took my uncle's life. Not some destiny, or something that was meant to be. My heart still grieves to this day, even though it has been five years. It still feels like it just happened. It is still fresh in my mind. Sometimes I see my uncle in my dreams.
This will all play into my book, if I ever turn this idea into a story.
So what do you all think?
