I'm a 38 year old college graduate trying to start a career as an English teacher and published author. I do some Beta-Reading and will always try to provide constructive criticism if you ever want. I speak English and Portuguese fluently (although my Portuguese is becoming more and more rusty since I don't have many local folks to practice with) and had the opportunity to live in Brazil (Sao Paulo) for a couple of years. Most of all my other pertinent information is listed below in my Devious Info.Current Residence: Utah

Thanks for favingΒ
.:Be Original:.WE ALL HAVE A VOICE.
β’ Itβs been done before: Lots of people will tell you that no matter what you write, itβs been done before. But while this is true to some extent, it isnβt what you think. So much creativity gets hindered and discouraged when people basically tell you that no matter how hard you try, youβll never come up with anything original. And that couldnβt be further from the truth. Whether or not itβs a struggle for you, itβs always worth it to come up with your own unique and original idea not based off anything else. Iβm going to show you an example of just why originality is not dead. The following paragraph can be interpreted in a variety of different ways.
β’ In-story example: The world was wide open but KD often felt trapped. KD was a tall brunette with long hair, and sun-tanned skin save a few silvery skin scars from events in the not too distant past. Echoes of voices could be heard about, but they never gotΒ and I hope its helped you out

Hey, friend! Thanks for the return watch. Let's make NaNo Epic this year, yeah? Woo!

Ha ha! I've finally came up with a creepy story line. No idea where it'll go, but I have an idea for a prologue and start of a NaNoWriMo story... I even have an idea for a sort of plot. now if I can just find the time... I know I can squeeze in about 30 mins a night if I forgo my nightly Facebook game and wind-down.
Wish I could think of a nice story line for a romance, but I read so much mystery, murder and horror that it's difficult to think of anything else.
First things first, though!-- Gotta finish HALLOWEEN!

Been fun chatting. If I'm not burnt out on Halloween, don't have pipes breaking and flooding the kitchen, I finish all the stories I'm writing for my paranormal blog, and I don't have a bajillion sinus infections one after another... I'm game for doing the whole NaNoWriMo thing in November.
No Plot? No problem!

If you don't have the book, you should grab it. I have plans for novels from when I was a freshman in high school (I graduated in 1997) still that I never got around to writing. Nanowrimo got me writing a novel, which I've dreamt about since I was little. You really do only need a deadline and a good kick in the pants, I built a 50,000 novel worth plot idea out of a single phrase that just popped into my head. The trick is to make up characters you love, pu them someplace you can imagine yourself in, and then just keep making things happen to your characters. The plot makes itself (of course, editing will be needed to make the book good). Then there's all the plot bunnies, plot ninjas, and wonderful people ready to cheer you on to the finish line. The biggest reward is gettin into the habit of writing every day. That's why I do it a lot; it resets that habit for me. I'm alway the happiest when I'm banging away at the keys, no matter how much life stinks at the time. It's just as fun as reading a good book. Anyways, getting off the soapbox and shutting up. Sorry.

Love me a good soapbox! The trick isn't really all those things... it's getting my husband to let me stay home and write... and getting my analytical mind to shut off for a bit. Anywho, have a g'nite. Cya 'round in November! ... if not before. (Woo! I graduated last century too-- 1999)
