Books turned into films

Today on my facebook "like" page I will be discussing books and movies. Books that were turned into films. I have now seen Divergent twice. Once in the theater, and once at my home when it was released. I thought this film was very close to the book. Veronica Roth wrote a book for all ages. It truly was a masterpiece. Telling the story of Tris, and how she defy's the "system" is a way for everyone to see that it's okay to be different. It leaves you wanting more. I truly hope that people find the courage within themselves as Tris does. Some of you may be asking what does this have to do with my books or my writing? I will explain that. I love to read. It's how I started writing to begin with. I want to share some of my favorites, and some of my love for the YA genre.https://www.facebook.com/AuthorDeeKing?ref=hl  Feel free to come like my page and join in on the fun! Peace, love, and all that Jazz :)

Time is getting close

 In no way shape or form am I trying to hurry this month along. I have been feeling the nerves kick in for a little bit now. Soon, I will publish Charming Selene to the whole world wide web. Nothing like having your words read by others, and hoping they don't hate it. Heck, just hoping they even read it.. Oh, I am sure that every author feels the same way. How could you not? I am not looking to be the next bestseller, I am just looking for others to read it, and not hate it. Haha.
 I have received some exciting news though, and that helps calm the nerves a tad. Not a lot, because let's face it.. even the best books are not read by some. You have your classics that you have to read in school (which no one ever wants to do, hence Cliff  notes), and then you have books that seem to fly off the shelf. How they manage that, well, that is a mystery to me. Is it the cover? Is it word of mouth? Is it that it relates to another book that you liked? How the heck does this happen? Marketing is one way, of course. If you have a publisher that has your book every where you go, odds are that someone is going to read it just because they assume it's good. For an Indie Author, it really is about word of mouth, and reviews. Those reviews can make or break you. (From what I hear??) I only want people to like it... Seriously, that's all. I don't even know why I am worried. What are the odds that anyone will actually even see it once I hit the publish button? I just wanted to write a book, and say "I DID THIS!"
    I think every one has a dream! I just can not believe my dream is coming true soon. Thank you all for reading my crazy randomness.
