You Should Be a Film Writer


You don’t just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind.
You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life.
Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling.
And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen!

Huh…….go figure. I definitely have a knack for dialog but film writing?

Books Read in 2007

Honeslty, I didn’t do such a good job of keeping up with my reading this year….but I’ll give it a whirl. Wow what a small list–especially compared to how many I bought and/or got at RWA nationals! My TBR Pile is bursting at the seams and I got a gift card from my lovely CP for Christmas.

Lynn Viehl’s Darkyn Books 1-3 (Yes I KNOW I’m behind!)
Lisa Gardner Gone (SOOOOO Much better than Alone)
Jami Alden’s Delicious
Noelle Mack’s Juicy (DNF)
Rachel Caine’s Morganville Vamps books 1-2
Steph Tyler’s Coming Undone and Risking it All
Sydney Croft’s Riding the Storm
Scott Westerfeld’s Extras (I’m reading it now! Thank you Santa….funny enough my agent is ALSO a Westerfeld fan!)
Vicki Petterson’s The Scent of Shadows and The Taste of the Night (fangirl squeal)
Lisa Scottoline’s Dirty Blonde
Karin Tabke’s Good Girl Gone Bad
PC and Kristen Cast’s Marked and Betrayed
Megan Hart’s Dirty (I WISH I could write first person this good)

By and far I think I read more YA than anything else…along with more paranormal. The only thing I think I walked away from is City of Bones(also YA). It’s a good book, if a bit slow for my taste, but I’ll definitely give it another try.

Wow…only 19 books! I’m pretty sure that’s better than last year (which was like 13), but next year….I’ll do better :)

And a Spell Checker in a Pear Tree!!!

Paying it Forward

FIrst off Dennie is giving away goodies over at SFC. All you have to do is give a pic a caption and I guarantee you’ll want to see this. And we’re collecting recipes just for fun!

Second….Saturday night after … well the pic over at SFC was taken, I stopped at Starbucks and got the kids coffee. I decided it was a good time to Pay it Forward and bought drinks for the car behind me. It was a small thing but a great way to end a … killer night.

Stop by NAS today (as soon as I go write the blog post!).

Pressies!!!!!!!

I’m giving away pressies! Over at SFC …you’ve got a week to share your Happy Holiday tips!

Over at NAS last week I blogged about buying my own Christmas presseis too…..Funny enough I’ve picked up TWO Young Adult books — for me — and a new CD. And then the other day at Target I picked up Holidays are Hell (like I needed another book).

I PROMISE everything will go in my stocking. :D

So..what have you picked up lately? And do you have any Christmas traditions? We spend Christmas day watching movies…….gee wonder why? LOL
