Hello lovelies! I am blogging for the sake of it tonight as I'm attempting to get some much needed media time in. In truth, I'd rather just write and not need to deal with the formalities, but that wouldn't make much sense, now would it? How could you guys know about stuff unless I was here to tell you?

NaNoWriMo is here! I've been ferociously writing for the last few days, which is kind of the point of NaNo anyway. I am going to be trying to post updates throughout the process so please don't hate me! You will probably see me popping up quite a bit and I know I'm one of those "fine in small doses" kind of people. :)

What am I working on for NaNoWriMo, you ask? I am finishing Fiery Secrets and then moving on to Blood Promise with the hopes of having both stories done and released near or around Christmas time. I feel like it's a good deal considering all of the Kindles, Nooks, iPads and other tablets that will be floating around that day. People will be looking for books to read so it's kind of logical to release then. Both books will be available for preorder as soon as I get closer to the end of NaNo and have a set release. Pretty awesome :)

On a side note, I'm in desperate need of a volunteer PA (personal assistant) and/or a Street Team members. References are appreciated, but I'm willing to work with newbies because I'm a newbie, too. If anyone is interested in this, please email me and use "I Volunteer!" as the subject line (get  it...from Hunger Games?). I will totally love you forever and you'll get some awesome goodies for helping me out. 

Well, I need to get back to writing. I've got 3k words to dish out tonight to meet my quota for NaNo. If you're a writer participating, add me as a buddy! My username is LisaLogue and I'd love to have you on my list! 

Until next time!

NaNoWriMo, here I come!

Many authors participate in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) which takes place the month of November every year. The general idea is that you have 30 days to write 50,000 words, which is the standard size of a novel. Some people write more, which I tend to be one of those people, but as long as the work is 50,000 words or more, you're in business!

I tried to participate last year, but being newly engaged ended up slamming the door on NaNoWriMo for me (our wedding was 9/20/14!) since I was more concerned with wedding planning. That's left me with a book that's not quite 50% finished and the indecision of whether to use NaNoWriMo to finish it or to complete a different project altogether. I mean, there are so many!

Fiery Secrets is starting to come along nicely, but I'm still some time away from finishing. It will be finished this year, but I'm not sure if it's right for NaNoWriMo. I've worked hard on making sure this book is just right, I'm not sure I want to take that chance of feeling rushed to keep the NaNoWriMo deadline. At the same time, I need to just shut up and do it already!

Then, I think about some of the other story ideas I've had:

Fern Flower- A Fantasy/Adventure novel about the quest for the flower that could save the lives of many in the wake of a plague.

Romancing the Shrew- Contemporary Romance about a less than graceful single mom testing her chances at love

Ancient Blood- A Paranormal Fantasy about vampires and humans uniting in a war against The Underworld

Ruination- Sci-fi/Fantasy novel about a dystopian Earth, ravaged by a zombie-like pandemic and the non-surface dwellers who find themselves in the middle of something more dangerous than the disease itself 

I literally have countless other story ideas, these are just a few of the more developed. I also have Chasers, which is a serial story on Wattpad, in case you've missed it :)

You see my dilemma? So many stories just begging to be written! I can't make up my mind. What do you guys want to read next? Which stories should indefinitely be put on the back burner? Should I just stop writing altogether? 

Any thoughts?.....at all???
