Let the Author Turn the Page
One chapter is ending
As another one begins
There's a memory in each letter
But let the author turn the page
A hero's story ends in victory
Though the journey comes with falls
He carries on and grows from them
When the author turns the page
Find your strength from every conflict
And your hope from scenes gone right
Remember them and keep high hopes
For when the author turns the page
Let the words be in our past now
Not forgotten but let go
Because each sentence forms our future
Let the author turn the page
Happy New Year everyone. :)

Blog Tour: Treason by S.M. Boyce
I'm happy to be one of the blog tour stops for S.M. Boyce's new book Treason! Here's some more about it.
About Treason:
About Treason:
Ourea has always been a deadly place. The lichgates tying the hidden world to Earth keep its creatures at bay—for now. Kara Magari ignited a war when she stumbled into Ourea and found the Grimoire: a powerful artifact filled with secrets. To protect the one person she has left, she strikes a deal that goes against everything she believes in. But things don’t go as planned. Braeden Drakonin can no longer run from who—and what—he is. He has to face the facts. He’s a prince. He’s a murderer. He’s a wanted man. And after a betrayal that leaves him heartbroken, he’s out for blood. To survive, both Kara and Braeden must become the evil each has grown to hate.
Now let's meet the author!
S.M. Boyce is a fantasy and paranormal fiction novelist who also dabbles in contemporary fiction and comedy. Her B.A. in Creative Writing also qualifies her to serve you french fries. She updates her blog a few times each week so that you have something to wake you up in the morning.

And the NaNoWriMo verdict is...
...that I WON!! :D
It took me to the very last minute but I got there. You probably know that I write my NaNo by hand but when it got to 10 pm and I was still about 3k words away from the 50k I got on the computer and typed the last bit up in the last hour and 15 mins. Lol. I couldn't let myself not finish when I was that close!
FINAL word count: 50005/50000
Yea!
So I didn't finish the entire story yet but I think that I will. I want to do a little outlining first I think but the very last sentence that I wrote was in the word document: (*Marcia* was my 50000 word I think)
They had to figure out a way to get out of trouble or to at least to not look like they were being suspicious and so they found a wall and Adan cornered *Marcia* and started to kiss her!
So how did my fellow Wrimos do? Did you make your goal? It's December so have a rest now everyone. You deserve it!
(Huh, just noticed that this is my 100th published post. Appropriate! :D )

Day 16?: Long time no Type
Word count: 17069/50000
I have not been doing as much as I should obviously. I WILL catch up though! I'm chasing the elusive 5k day today. We'll see how that goes. How's everyone else's doing??
P.S.- Who went to see Breaking Dawn Part 2?? Am I the only one who was about to have a heart attack?!?!

Day 5: Still Alive
Word count: 5593/50000
Didn't get a whole lot done on it today but at least I wrote. I'm suppose to be at 10000 tomorrow. Hmmmm. I'm wondering if I can't pull off a few of those thousand word hours tomorrow that I know I have in me now. We shall see.
Line of the Day:
She rolled over and started to watch the fire upside down knowing that she would never get to sleep tonight.
That's the last sentence that I wrote tonight. I chose this one because it was honestly the only one that I thought was interesting enough. Lol. The rest was seriously pretty much just her building a fire and making a bed outside. Seriously. Oh, boy. When NaNo needs words it doesn't care at all where it gets them from.

Day 4: With Pencil-breaking Speed!
Word Count: 4621/50000
I went to my first write-in this month today and, oh my goodness, my hand probably could have fell off! I wrote a little over 2000 words in two hours! That's about 1000 an hour! HAND WRITTEN!! Ehem, sorry. That just makes me really happy. :D
Line of the Day:
She didn't want to freak him out, because she would totally freak out if she woke up somewhere strange without an article of her clothing no matter how good the intentions of the person who took them were.
And that could be taken out of line... Lol! At this point our main male character is still passed out and our Female main character was thinking about trying to do something about his scrapes and bruises.
And that's the end of the first weekend. Let's see if I can't keep up the momentum through the usual weekly duties.
