How forgetful am I? - December Goals List

Hello! Well, it seems that I did not post at all last week, nor have I stated my new month ideas/plans. *Gasp* I can offer only one explanation: I am forgetful. Now, I did not "forget" to post, per-say, I just forgot to open my blog page. I had a post idea ready to roll, I just never got around to opening a new post page. Anyways, I am here now. 

Wow, can you believe November has come and gone? It feels like only yesterday I was getting ready to post my first post of November. I did not complete that many goals for November, but I hope to get those things done this month. Here is a list of what I hope to do:

1. Complete Pictures of You.  

   
   
   
   I was unable to work on this book ever since receiving a comment about some details taking away from the plot. Of which I completely agree, I just feel that the reader was not understanding it from my perspective. As most author will understand, there are some things that MUST happen in a book so that it all comes together later. With this in mind, I have tried my best to push aside the comment, though it was not entirely negative, as insightful and helpful as it was, and I am going to continue where I left off.
   
   
   
   
2. Start posting Heart and Soul, and Public Enemy.
   

   
   I have been silently writing both of these novels, trying to re-spark my eagerness to write Pictures of You. So far, I have managed not to do that. However, I can say that all my ideas for these new novels are folding together nicely. I am even thinking of putting a character cameo into one of these books. Meaning: I will have a known character from one of my other works have a "guest appearance" in one, or both, of these novels. 
   
   
3. 
   Edit Scarred Hearts for self-publishing.

   
   I recently posted in the Beta-Reader's forum on Wattpad, in hopes of getting more feedback on this novel, so that I can "test-publish" it, using either CreateSpace, Kindle Direct, Kindle Scout, or by submitting my manuscript to Entangled Publishing (because I think I meet their guidelines, and they accept un-agented submissions). Now, I think self-publishing will be my quickest route, and it will help me to help my sister.  But to do any of these routes, I still need my own bank info.
   
   
   
4. 
   Prepare my Rescued novel.
   
   I have mentioned time and time again that I plan to put my Rescued short story "series" into a single novel. But to do that, I need to go back to the beginning and fill in the gaps. I may or may not be ready to do that, but I have pulled out the story several times in the last week, so I am already wanting to work on it.

Well, that is my short list. I have those things at the front of my head, I am constantly thinking over these things and how I can get them done. But I do push to hard on this list, because I try to put my work at home in front of everything else. For anyone wondering if I have done any sort of reading . . . I have, indeed, been reading quite a bit in the last week. I just finished the second book in the DIMILY trilogy, by Estelle Maskame. I am not going to talk about it here, because I will be posting a review in a couple of days, so keep you eyes open for that. I will share the link once the post is live. 

I recently posted Scarred Hearts  to Write On, from Amazon. My hopes are to expand the readers and get more feedback. I don't know how I came across it, but I like what the site does and I will be posting more novels there soon. CLICK HERE

Well, that's all for now. God made you special, and He loves you very much. BYE!

Earphones are Awesome!

Hello! Another week gone, and a new one arrives. I did not post on Friday because there was nothing really to blog about. Anyway, let me get this going!

So, last week was not really my prime writing week, and that's okay. I guess I needed the break. Taking a break from writing never hurt anyone, and I think I will benefit from that. I've taken several breaks in past years, and they benefit the author's mind. Sometimes, the brain needs a break to clear the imagination chambers. *winky-face*

I managed to get myself a nice pair of earphone, since my laptop speaker died a couple months ago. I was sharing earphones with one of my brothers, along with several other people, and it was just getting to me. Most of everything I do on my laptop involves some sort of sound. I can't do anything without earphones. So, I think my $10 were well spent.

I pulled out all my old notebooks and have decided that it is high time I finished some of those amazing story ideas. It will change the pace and get me back into the swing of writing. I think they deserve to be put out there for people to see and enjoy. Especially the stories that are halfway completed, I just need to TYPE them up. *rolls eyes* I don't favor typing after writing it on paper. Which I do a lot, when I have a brilliant idea and I am not on my laptop. (When my sister uses my laptop, it puts a small pebble in the road.)

As I often mention, I am looking into CreateSpace for my sister. I have learned all the ropes and I think the final thing to do is actually utilize the online publishing platform, and send myself a hardcopy "draft" of one of my stories to see what it looks like. Having a hardcopy of a story that I wrote would be awesome.

Well, that is all for now. See you later! God bless!

PlAyLIsT fOr YoU

Hey guys!  As I am currently lacking inspiration for all writing, I came up with a playlist. I have been listening to all my favorites, along with some new/old ones. So here is the playlist for you guys to see what I am listening to, along with a playlist I made for my new story. There may also be some Latino songs in here, but if you don't understand Spanish, you don't have to listen to them. ☺(P.S. It took a LONG time to get the story playlist uploaded)

Coming of Age . . . Young Adult Writing!

(Written over the course of a few hours)

Hey peoples! Well, it is a new week and I am only just getting started. I did not start today like usual. I am pretty much at the beginning of my Sunday. That's okay, its been slow today anyway.

I've been trying to do some writing for . . . pretty much everything that I have been working on, but it's not that big of a deal. I will get into it as time flies by. Which brings me to announce what I am planning . . . Or should I announce it? 

Yes, this is my new idea, and it is my desktop background. I have not done much with it, except create a small outline, character outlines, and as you can see, the lovely graphic(s). I sat or a few hours last week and just goofed around with the idea. I'm going through a Grant Gustin phase. He just fits the character's physique, with a bit of my own character-imaginations. I am really experimenting with this story, and I think it will be pretty cool when posted. 

Heart and Soul is coming along, though I have only just begun to add to it today. It is coming along, and I hope to start posting it soon, but that all depends on how my writing goes with Pictures of You.  Which brings me to that book. I am at a stand-still. I am supposed to post the next chapter tomorrow, but I am worried that nothing is going to fall into place like I originally planned. Chapter ten was posted and the people who commented thought the characters were being too French, and too much. I agree with them, but the thing is that it folds into the plot I am planning. I can't go back and reconstruct a chapter now, I've already got a few chapters written afterwards. To reconstruct that chapter means reconstructing the chapters that follow. It is because of this detail that I am halted. So, to keep from discouraging myself in writing this book, I want to keep moving and hope people see how it all fits later.

Anyway, That is all for now . . . OH! Check out these cool giveaways I am entered in!

Still Behind . . . But Awesome Writing!

No, I did not make the cover, but overall ad is my work. Good morning lovely people! Yes, if you click the image above, you will be taken to the new story I have been working on. It is only the summary at the moment, but I do give a brief explanation on a few details. Oh! and look at the new cover for Pictures of You!

by DanielleRo on Wattpad

Well, it is officially Friday again. Another week flown by. This week has not been as "busy" as it would have been. I did not do as much writing as usual, nor did I do as much reading. I know, but its just a phase. I will get out of it. . . Eventually.
Now, I may not have done so much writing, on Pictures of You, but I did do some writing on Heart and Soul. The reason for that is because I got a little discouraged by a comment from a reader, but they have no idea where the story is going and the details they mentioned are crucial to the coming plot points. The character need to go through their stirrings so that they can realize what they are doing and seek out the solution further.

Who else is excited about 1D's album release? I know I am! I was able to get the album this morning! YES!

Anyways, I am going to try and get some more writing done this evening. I am not going to go nutty with it this morning, because I want to get some other things done. I have a few books that I need to review ASAP, but I am in a slump again.

I have been using Pinterest to keep track of m ideas for Heart and Soul, saving character outfits and appearances. If you would like to follow that board, CLICK HERE. I also have just my story characters' outfits in general HERE.

Well, that is all for now. If anything exciting happens, I will blog about it on Sunday. See you then! God bless!

What is MLHarper22 up to?

Hey all! So, instead of just waiting for you guys to comment, I decided to just throw together this post with what I am up to on my OTHER Wattpad account, MLHarper22.

The covers above are only a smidgen of what I have posted on MLHarper22. I shall take great care to explain each story, along with their cover. Let's get started!!!

 Country and City series
Is my Little House on the Prairie fan-fictions. I use all the original characters from the TV series (and the books) but add my own characters as well. The first cover is the book I had completed two years ago, and only recently I have decided to continue the series.

The Roleplay
As the cover implies, yes, this book was a finalist in the 2013 WattyAwards! This book is a crossover-fan-fiction, and I wrote while going through my Alex Pettyfer/Justin Bieber/Nick Jonas phase of my teen years. Yes, this book is that OLD. I had written it when I was 14 years old, and had deleted it, but then re-uploaded it to enter it into the Wattys2013. Learning that this book was a finalist gave me the confident boost I needed to keep writing. I had thought I sucked at writing and was ready to give it up. Thank goodness, I didn't, and look at me now!

Genetic X
Was my first "paranormal-ish" book, and I have not gone back to recreate any more such writings. This book was written during the Twilight hype, and I was trying to be the cool girl who could create something similar, without bringing actual vampires/werewolves into play. I call my characters Shape Shifters. I made this quite clear when I posted the story, and I completed this book . . . last year. I still have the notebook I wrote it in, and I plan to make it better, when given proper time.

My Dear Emma
Sherlock Holmes Fan-Fiction/Romance

Yes, I went as far as writing a fan-fiction from one of my favorite books. Using my knowledge of the original story, and the twisted movie plot(s), I came up with a story that I quite enjoy. I have not finished it yet, but I am just waiting for the right time to get to work on it again.

  

My One Direction fan-fictions!! Now, all of these are complete, with the exception of It Takes Two, because I started posting that book only a few months ago. Eighteen was written for a contest, the week that Zayn Malik left the band. So, yeah, that would explain why it is quite . . . dark.

Other than that, my 1D fan-fictions are quite popular, from what I can tell. My readers on that account are very quiet, unless they leave me a ♥ comment, or something. The Mommy Direction was inspired by a few things, but I shall not elaborate on it.

   

My very first short stories!!!! So, yes, that would be the reason why the pen-name is different. I experimented pen-names until I found one I liked. Hadassah Harper. All remain unedited, to show my progress in writing.

Well, hope you enjoyed this post! You can click HERE if you wish to read any of them. God bless and see ya soon!

Learning the Ways of the Trade

Good morning all! It seems I am writing this post the night before, because I know I will not get to sit down with everything that is going to take place.

My younger siblings (to be specific, the choir) are leaving for the week to film a cover video. K is the director and they even have a film-crew. So that is what they will be doing. I, on the other hand, along with select members of the family, will be remaining at home. The good part of that is I will get to use my laptop a little more. Because my sister (the one who uses it) is going with the choir.

I have posted a new chapter to Pictures of You, and I have a few new chapters already in drafts. I have made myself a posting schedule, so I will be posting weekly. I have been moving fairly quickly with this book, and I must say that I have never been so satisfied with a plot before. It is just flowing so well! I just hope the people who read it will have the same reaction that I do when I write it. I laugh, I cry. I throw my pillow at the wall, the whole nine yards.

All of last week, I have been writing up a storm. I just have a massive flow going and nothing has stopped it. I have been TRYING to catch up with my reading, as I have many books that I am reviewing. As well as book blitzes, but those are scheduled posts.

I was watching this video after dinner, "last night". It was self-publishing and I am helping my sister study on that and how to build a platform. Most of that stuff I already know and have been doing over the past year. So, in a manner of speaking, I would be able to do it myself. But I don't know if I will yet. For now, I help my sister.

Well, that is all for now. God bless you, and I will see you all next time. BYE!

Hard at Work!

Good morning lovelies! For the last few days, I have been busy around my house, taking care of home business, and also working hard on my book(s) and my book blog! Speaking of my book blog, I have a new review up for I Am Titanium by John Patrick Kennedy, SUCH A GREAT BOOK!

Now, onto business. On my other Wattpad account, I am working on writing a sequel to my Little House on the Prairie fan-fiction. One of my readers over there asked if I would think about writing another story like that, and I thought 'Why not?'  So, I posted the first chapter and I am working on the next chapter. Click HERE to read.

Though I will be working on that (on the side), I am not going to halt my writing for Pictures Of You, as I now have two chapters sitting in drafts and will be posting them on a schedule. xD I am very happy with where I am headed in that book, and I hope the people reading it are enjoying it.

Well, that is all for today. I will be back soon, God bless you all. Bye!

Tech Support: That Would Be Me.

Good morning all! I hope you are all well. I am just giving you guys some updates as to what I am doing in my "absence" as I have not posted much for a few days. But things are looking up and I hope to have my balance under control soon.

I have been working on getting my other stories (on Wattpad) running again. I posted a new chapter to my Christian fantasy book: Spirit Warrior: A Dying Breed - CLICK HERE

I have written (literally) six new chapters for my book Change of Heart - CLICK HERE

And I have managed to work more on Pictures of You - CLICK HERE

I must say that I am happy with where I am planning to take Change of Heart, as it is coming out awesome. New plot twists and all. Pictures of You as I have often said, it is about friendship, but I am thinking about turning the corner somewhere, as I am inspired by some awesome Tumblr quotes. (CLICK HERE TO SEE) And I think there might be a plot twist, maybe the guy will secretly like his best "girl" friend. I don't know! I am just throwing ideas into the air at the moment, but I think it will all work out great.

Check out my book blog! I have posted almost every day for nearly two weeks straight. I am hosting a giveaway that ends soon, and I still have NO ENTIRES. The entries are simple, there is only one required entry, the others are just there to give you a better chance at winning. CLICK HERE

I am also my step-mom's tech support. Because she does not know MP3 from MP4. *shrugs* Honestly, I do not know what they will do without me.

Well, I hope this post finds you all in good health and spirit. I shall return soon. May God bless you and protect you. See ya!

Blogging, Writing, Reading, Books!

Good morning! As previously mentioned, I have to make a few changes to help balance out my Internet life and my home life. I have decided that as I gradually make the changes, I will maintain weekly posting schedule until I get things back in order.

I have a few new (scheduled) posts that will be going live this week. Along with a few book reviews. Be sure to check them out.

I read almost all of my Amazon book order, just one left. I have not been able to place my B&N order yet. I am still waiting for the gift card to be sent to me. And let me not forget to mention (what I have already said) Scarred Hearts is complete! Click the page above to read!

Oh, back to the new posts on my book blog. I have a giveaway that I am hosting, prize provided by the author in honor of the book blitz. Yes, I get to run the rafflecopter and choose the winner at random. So, be sure to visit Haddie's Haven on the 15th!

Well, I have floors to clean. I will see you all soon. God bless you!

Switching Things Up.

I have decided to switch things up a bit on this blog. I have to make some changes to my every day schedule, which involves changing the times I will get to post. There may come the possibility that I will not get to post more than once a day, or even just a couple times a week. I have to catch up with a lot in my everyday life, and it may be that this blog could be interference. But that does not mean that I will not continue.

Blogging these past few months (this past year) has been fun, and I do not think I would give it up that easily. Granted, life has been busy, but I have managed it well enough until now. There are just some things that cause me to make some changes. I will post when I can, and just compile everything into one awesome post (depending on when I can post).

I posted my epilogue this morning, due to the needed changes I will be making. The book is complete, I received the acceptance message from Harlequin (via Wattpad) that my story had been entered. Now, all I must do is watch and wait.

God bless you all who pass by this blog. I hope you are in good health, and I shall see you all again soon. Ciao!

My Eyes.

Honest and reliable brown eyes have hidden depths

Brown eyes are associated with honesty and reliability, but there's much more to brown eyes than that. Brown-eyed people often figure in songs and stories as adorable and desirable lovers and in a quiet way they are very aware of the secrets that make up their own attraction. Brown-eyed people are excellent hosts and love making people feel welcome and at home.

They are practical and strong minded, skilful in creating beautiful things as well as warm atmospheres. Brown eyed people are faithful and true, but never let them down if you have promised something. They can be very unforgiving if someone does not live up to their word, which is not surprising given their own dependability and loyalty. They believe that trust is possibly the greatest asset a person can have and once it's gone, it's gone. It's worth remembering that although they love the company of other people they are perfectly capable of organising their own lives and being independent.

CHICKEN!!!! xD I'm Making CHICKEN!

So, if the title of this post were not obvious enough, I am making chicken for lunch today. I have to start in 10 minutes.

I'm good to go this morning. Scarred Hearts is no longer on my mind. I'm so happy! xD

Okay, I'm done fangirling!

Interesting Enough

I am watching some of the older videos on Book Nerd Paradise, I CANNOT BELIEVE NO ONE COMMENTED ON THIS VIDEO! THE BOOK WAS NEVER GIVEN AWAY!

Anyways, I finished my epilogue this morning. But I do not plan to post it until next week, seeing I just uploaded a chapter this week.

I am still annoyed that no one commented on that video! The guest author is February Grace from Wattpad! \o/ The video is from June 22, so I doubt my comments from today would do anything for me. But her work is amazing! (I wonder . . .)

Anyways, I am free to work on any of my other books, as I no longer need to work on Scarred Hearts. I posted my first chapter to Pictures of You, so I am very happy about that. CLICK HERE to check it out.

I'm much better now, then I was this morning. The pain is completely gone, thank the Lord.

I'm off to Creative Land. God bless you all and I will see you tomorrow!

Weird Day

I have a feeling my sister is going to need to take another Sunday to do her work. Today she went to OfficeMax to print her manuscript, and is still not home yet. She and my parents left after lunch this afternoon. It is now . . . 5:55pm. I have been so busy today, doing favors for family members and writing and whatnot, that I feel that my sister is going to have to be open to what I have to say. Because I cannot give up my laptop now! I mean, to be nice, I would, but I can't. I'm just feel pressed for time and I have a lot I want to get done before tonight's prayer fast meeting.

Most of my creativity comes at night, and with this week and some changes that are being initiated, I feel that I might get much time. It's been a weird week.

My never ending short story . . . I have chosen to post it on Miss Literali, and I managed to add so much to it. Though it is more of a poetic story.

My sister just got home. Time to see if we can face the music.

God bless you. Check out Haddie's Haven. I posted 2 reviews today. Take care, and see you soon!

Plans For This Week

Good morning daily readers! I am currently taking an Amazon.com survey, but I had to get this post up. Let's talk about this week's plans for my blog(s), books, etc.

As you all know, I finished my final bonus chapter for Scarred Hearts, which means I have completed the book almost three weeks before the deadline to be applicable. I am so excited to have completed the book in time. This week I will be revising the original epilogue, to have it match the new chapters.

With the completion of Scarred Hearts, I now have more time to put into my other books that I have not touched in a while. As previously mentioned, I will be working on my story Change of Heart (originally know as Strong). And I will be working extra hard on my new book idea, Pictures of You.

I have several new e-ARCs that I have requested via NetGalley, but I am not going to read them until I finish a few on my currently-reading list (which is listed on the sidebar). I still have time for a few that are in my list, because those deadlines are not until middle of October or November. So I am taking slight advantage of that time to finish the books that have deadlines this month.

Well, that is all for now. I have to go look in the kitchen for something to eat and what to make for lunch. I did not get to eat breakfast this morning, and someone ate my piece of bread I was saving!

See you all later! Ciao!

Mission Completion! (Little Einsteins)

I finished and posted my chapter today!!!! xD I did it! I wrote a 55K+ novel! I mean, I did it over time, but I finished it!! All I have to do now is revise my epilogue to fit the new chapters, and all shall be well!

I changed the title of my book Strong to Change of Heart. I think it fits the story better and the original title does not go with where I am now headed. I am still headed in the same direction as when I started the book last year, but the title just was all wrong now. I might change it again, but I think the new title works.

I am almost done with the first chapter of my new book Pictures of You, which is going to be awesome! If anyone is familiar with the new Entangled imprint Crush, then you will know that this book was slightly influenced by those kinds of books. Each chapter switches point of views, and it will be light-hearted, but it will go deeper, below the surface.

Ever have a best friend that suddenly could no longer be around you. How would you feel to lose a best friend? Whether that best friend moved away, or died? I would lose it. I don't have that BFF at the moment, but I know it would kill me inside. I'm very loyal. Possibly too loyal, even to those who are not as loyal as myself.

Well, I've got some stuff to do. I must bid thee all farewell. May God bless you!
