A note about my book and a contest with tons of books to win...

I know I haven't posted anything in a long time, I've been crazy busy. As for an update on my book, I wrote the rest of chapter 28 and it has a surprising turn of events. This will be my second last chapter, I believe, and I wish I had more time to write it. As it is, I barely have time to sleep, let alone write. It sucks. Writing is my stress reliever (well, that and going to the gym), yet I can't even find time for it! I could make time, but then my studies would probably be seriously neglected. I have midterms coming up now too, which scares the living hell out of me. I can sum my life up in three words: study, study, STUDY! I don't know who came up with this idea that university students party all the time, because I certainly don't have time for stuff like that.
Anyway, enough ranting. There's a fantastic contest going on at the Library Lounge Lizard that I think you guys should take a look at (well, I think its more aimed at girls, but whatever). Here's the link, just copy and paste: http://www.libraryloungelizard.com/2009/09/contest-time-awesome-nancy-holder.html

This blog is giving away books autographed by the author, Nancy Holder. God I hope I win... I can't afford anything!!
Till next time!

Balancing life and Writing... not going so well right now

So, its been a while, but I do have a good excuse. I just started university and I've been crazy busy with the move and adjusting to life on my own. I've had zero time to sit down and write my blog, let alone my book (which I was supposed to be done by now...). I am immensely disappointed that I didn't make my deadline, but life got in the way, and that happens. I need to get over it and finish it. I'm so close! I'm writing a court scene in which Ali faces off with June and there's a surprising turn of events that even caught me off guard.
I hope you guys are getting more writing done than I am...
Till next time:) .

Win Hush Hush at Katie's Book Blog

Copy and paste this URL: http://katiesbookblog-katie.blogspot.com/2009/08/hush-hush-contest.html to win Hush Hush. It's a great looking book and I'm hoping to win :). My luck has been very good lately, I've won three contests this summer! I hope my readers have won some excellent goodies too!
Till next time...

Inspired by others

I have a huge list of authors that I am completely in love with. My top favorites right now are Maria V Snyder, Rachel Vincent, Erin Mccarthy, and recently I've gotten into Marian Keyes. I love the stories they weave and I aspire to write like them. Not exactly like them, of course. I have my own unique voice and my own stories to tell, but I love their books so much that I can't help but think,"Damn it, why didn't I think of that?!" I love their characters. Some of them are so dear to me, that I wish that they were real.

I am very pleased to say that I recently got an autographed copy of Maria V Snyder's Fire Study. I was so excited! I couldn't believe that Maria would take the time to write a message for me. Sometimes I forget that my favorite writers are people, not God's or Muses...

Anyways, till tomorrow. :)
