It's Alright

2009-07-15T02:43:50Z

I finally got back into the groove, so the writing thing's going pretty okay. At least I'm meeting my goals, more or less.

I admit, I did skip some days, but you try working at Wal-Mart all day, then trying to write in the evening on top of every day household stuff. It's not easy. I think I prefer writing on my days off. I just kind of save up my daily quotas, add them all together, and then try to write that, plus extra.

My main concern right now is that my story is moving slowly. I know I will eventually cut a lot of it, but I'm nowhere near where I want to be, plotwise.

Oh well, that's what the editing process is for.

Gone Baby

2009-06-19T04:33:01Z

I will be visiting my family in Kentucky this weekend, so I will be away. I won't be checking blogs and groups, but I will be checking email. If any of ya'll need me, I'm just an email away.

I'll be back Monday.

I'm going to be visiting my cousin's family. We were close growing up.

It's going to be hard, but I am excited about seeing my family. My nephew and his girlfriend had a baby boy...so I'm a great aunt again.

Birth and Death. Guess it's as good a time as any to visit.

Also, father's day and my dad's birthday are on the same day. I'm going to be busy.

This Can't Be Happening

2009-06-10T01:46:52Z

I'm tired of death. Just found out my cousin shot and killed himself this morning. We were close growing up, real close.

I Had A Thought...

2009-05-27T09:23:53Z

Then I lost it...LOLz

Anyway, I've been going through a lot lately. Family problems and such. i worry about my dad. He's been feeling bad lately. His eyesight is going. He told me he might have to go have surgery later on in the next few months. And doesn't that make me feel like a bad daughter. I know I live a state away but I can't just drop everything and go. My stupid work policy doesn't allow me to take any paid days off...so I'm screwed with the bills if I decide to take time off to help.

I don't know what to do. I'm rambling, I know, but man. It sucks. I feel so bad.

It's just a bad situation. All I can focus on is keeping my head above the water, so to speak. Maybe I'll make it thru.'

Pray for me?

Not Much Going On...Sorta

2009-05-20T03:19:58Z

Not Much Going On...well...

Well, that's kind of a lie. There's lots going on, but I've been too preoccupied to write about them.

The important ones include:

Finding out my dad's not doing too well. He lives in another state and I'm in a situation where I can't exactly help him. I feel useless.

I have edits to do for Changed.

Suffering from intense writer's block, among other things. Can't get motivated. I need to promote my books more, but that's too much for me these days.

Work's cutting back on hours. I can barely make ends meet as it is. Not to mention, I'm doing pretty much all the housework: Cooking, cleaning, laundry...it never ends.

Sometimes, I just don't know what to do.

RIP Lucky May 7, 2009

2009-05-08T01:22:20Z

One of our dogs, Lucky, finally went to rest today. She was 17 years old. She had been suffering for the longest time. This past week, when we got back from our trip to Niagara (pictures coming, btw) we all noticed she wasn't eating much and she was having trouble walking. We figured it was a matter of time. We made an appointment for Friday to take her in and put her to sleep, so she wouldn't suffer any more...but it turns out we didn't need to.

Today at 5:15, she died. We all knew it was coming, so she was surrounded by her family. I'm sad, true, but I'm also glad. Now, she can run and play and not feel any pain.

Rest in Peace, Lucky. We will miss you.

So...

2009-04-14T04:21:15Z

I haven't written much in the past week, which is incredibly bad, but also work sucked with the pre-Easter rush. I don't get people sometimes, really. I don't celebrate Easter, at least not the Easter most people know. I celebrate the equinox, fertility, rebirth etc.

People wonder where the whole bunnies and eggs thing comes from...well, bunnies like to fuck. They're fertile. What better way to represent fertility by a creature that, well, goes at it like bunnies? Also, the eggs...where do babies come from? Eggs.

Think about it. Makes sense to me.

Anyway, that's my rant.

I need to write a little, but I want to sleep my two days off. What do ya'll think?

Website Updates

2009-04-07T21:44:36Z

Hey guys,

I just uploaded part three of my ongoing In-Between The Moon Series story, Moon Over Me to my website at www.rosemariewolf.com.

I also tweaked a few things on the site, but nothing big.

Enjoy!

Okay, this sucks

2009-04-02T16:58:12Z

I can't get focused. I don't know why. I thought if I cleaned the house, I could clear up some of this blockage, but so far...no. I've been toying with some writing ideas in my head. As far as getting it down onto paper and making it into something...it's not working out.

What's wrong with me?

Is This Really My House?

2009-02-27T05:26:25Z

Cindy moved out. She's living in the little house next door. Took forever for the lady who lived there first to get her shit and get out. Now, Cindy is in the process of dragging all her stuff over there and Jason and I will be on our own.

Yay!

We've been cleaning the house, seriously, and it's surprising how different it looks now. I like it.

I'll post pics some time.

Bummed

2009-02-11T04:24:37Z

So, my chat at Fallen Angel Review Chatters group wasn't so great. I was there for four hours and only two people even bothered to respond. Felt like I was talking to myself.

Oh well, I went through with it.

I need to get back to writing soon. I took a couple days off from it, but I really need to get back in the swing of things. I don't know why I get so worked up over deadlines. It's not like I really have any at the moment...well, except for a short story for Infernal Dreams I've started plotting.

I think it's because I have this mindset: if I write more, I'll get more exposure, more sales, more money, more fans. Therefore, I must write fast and get as many books out there as I can. Some authors seem to publish half a dozen books a year.

I'm beginning to understand I can't do that. I have to do this at my own pace, whether it'll be two months, or two years. I'll finish my next series. I know it.

But will people forget about me in that time? It's not like a lot of people are scrambling to buy my books. Most people don't even know I write books, or care, or even know I exist. But those that do...will they forget me in the years it'll take me to write another story?

Yeah, bummed is an understatement.

Wow...

2009-01-29T01:08:47Z

I haven't posted in forever. I kinda forget I have a livejournal still. I use Facebook, Blogger and Myspace more often. Too much to keep up with.

Anyway, I've been working on a new novel about vampires this time. I'm hoping to have it done by mid-march. I'm up to chapter nine so far.

I'll try to update more often. In the meantime, you can head over to rosemariewolf.blogspot.com for more current updates.

Happy Holidays!

I Need To Post More Often...

2008-12-08T04:01:03Z

I've not been feeling well the past few days. Here's an update on what's up.

Works been hell. Did a lot of overtime the last two weeks. It's retail and Christmas. Do the math.

We had our first snowfall, and second, and third. It was slick and driving was no fun. I hate winter.

I didn't win NaNoWriMo. I'm glad I participated though. I've got some great ideas, if I could just sit and write. I'm so exhausted. Maybe after Christmas.

Anyway, I'll write more later. Have a great week!

Important Announcement About Author's Day

Due to some recent financial changes, I am unable to afford the prize for the monthly Author's Day Contests I hold on my Yahoo group. December 2nd, 2008 will be the last Author's Day Contest. Author's Day will still continue every month, on the first Tuesday. Authors can post unlimited excerpts and promos that day--there just won't be a contest as usual.

Thank you guys so much for being a part of this for as long as it went on. Hopefully, if my situation changes again, I'll resume the contests.

Hunter's Moon!

Voting Hell

We waited an hour and a half at our polling place. They had one flipping machine.

But, my duty is done.

How is it in your neck of the woods?

The Wedding

2008-11-01T03:06:54Z

The ceremony was really short, but it was very beautiful. We exchanged rings, though his turned out to be too big and we have to exchange it for a smaller size. We went out for a nice breakfast afterwards, then dinner later and a quiet night at home. We are planning on having a nice honeymoon in the early part of next year, probably spring.

:)
