Work and studies

I got my official schedule for my second part time job today...I'm hoping to save enough money within the next few months so i can buy my car and get a third job...i must be crazy to try and do this but i need the money...anyways i went to the library today (haven't gone forever) to look for some books to help me with my vet tech studies and my writing (have to go back tomorrow to get those ran out of time before work)...the vet tech books i picked up are extremely helpful now i just have to try to get threw them within the next couple of weeks and most likely take them out again....I'm trying to focus on the booklet i have for school so i can get in done within the next week (been on it way to long)...as of right now my life is nothing but working and studying which sucks bog time but it will pay off in the end

Chapters 1 and 2

Well i am happy to say i have officially completed chapters 1 and 2....well the first draft at least. I was going to just focus on my outline of the first ten chapters but i suddenly new exactly how i wanted the first two chapters to flow so i worked on them and am extremely happy with the way they turned out. It starts off with a nightmare about her past (will go into details in a later chapter) to her getting a phone call from her boss saying she has to meet him at a crime scene because he needs her supernatural expertise. Then she finds out one of the two bodies is he childhood friend and i left off with her leaving the crime scene and going to her friends house. i know going to her friends house seems lame but with the way it is going to pick up and continue in chapter 3 it wont be.

Sweeney Todd :)



I know i just wrote like two minutes ago but i had to add this because i love this movie... I just turned on the TV and was scanning the TV and guess what i found......if you looked at the title you would already know the answer to that...yes you guessed it right SWEENEY TODD....Awesome movie..anyways just had to mention i was watching it and so should anyone who enjoys watching Johnny Depp in somewhat of an odd yet awesome movie :) Well now i should actually get back to my book....after the movie of course:)




Had to add this because it always gets stuck in my head and i cant help but giggle at the words:)

My book

My book is about a girl named Lilith Ashling (means dream, vision) and i'm not to sure of her last name yet. However she goes by Ash...obviously short for Ashling. I put dream, vision in parenthesis beside Ashling becomes it is important later on in my story when she starts having dreams and visions of events that are going to happen or are happening at the moment. i'm not sure of how i am going to go about my story yet however my character Ash is going to be 23 yrs. old with red curly hair and green eyes. When she was 13 she discovered she can control fire by burning down her house when her anger become to much to handle. The dreams and visions start occuring later on in the story when her childhood friend Cassandra goes missing. Ash continues to have visions and dreams showing where and what Cassandra is however when it comes to where she is all that Ash knows is wheteher she is in a basement or office.. she has yet to know where the basement or office is located. All my ideas are somewhat scattered at the moment, but i'm hoping to have my ideas organized by tomorrow or thursday. If i can manage to do this i will be able to hopefully complete my first three chapters by sunday or monday. Anyways i better get back to my book and try to complete my outline for the first three chapters.


I was searching the internet to get an idea of what i want Ash to look like...well i found a few picks with gorgeous red hair so i decided to post them...
