Playlist Tuesday

                                    Who inspired me to write a book........

                       Let's be real today. Everyone has someone that has inspired them in their lives. Today, I want to share my inspiration as an author. Rachel Caine. She is the author of the Weather Warden Series, and The Morganville Vampires series. I had the opportunity to meet Rachel at the RT Convention this past year in Kansas City, MO. I, (the dork that I am) started crying like a pathetic nerd. I literally broke down in front of this woman from excitement. Now, let me say this, before taking the courage to do that I had just met Richelle Mead, Veronica Roth, and was working for the infamous Lora Leigh that day, but meeting Rachel I became a blubbering idiot. Now, let me back this up. Meeting the authors that day was truly a memorable day for me. Truly. I had held it together with the others, and had acted professional. Well, as professional as I could, but when I had the chance to walk to her table. I just started crying. Like a baby. It was embarrassing. I am a grown woman, and I hear I was crying. Well, needless to say, she was amazing. After that day I had started thinking that maybe I could take the leap and finally write down some of the stories in my head. So, here we are. I have a book that is half way done, and I am excited to see my work become a reality. I can only hope that I can inspire someone to live their dreams as I am trying to. The way that Rachel had inspired me. One day can change your life, and hopefully that one day for you is soon. OR maybe that day has happened for you, and your living your dream daily.

Sneak Peeks

Today, I chose to give a sneak peek of some art that has inspired me. This picture says a lot about my book to me. Elements that you can not control can often be alluring. Art is a beautiful way to express one self. There is art in all of us. You do not have to draw to be an artist. Your art can be anything that you feel passionate about. That is how I see ART! In this photo we see fire, and water. Together. Knowing that in a heart there is a fire that burns when you feel passionate about something. The water could represent the water that turns into ice after you have been hurt. The fire could melt your icy heart if you let it. So, on that note look for the fire inside of you, and don't let the ice not melt.
 While, I was out and about yesterday I had heard a song on the radio. It was a song I had not heard yet. The song was called Strong by the group London Grammar. Beautiful song. I wrote it down to remember it. I always want to give credit to the bands or the songs that I have used while I write. Music brings out so much emotion in one self that it's hard not to give them credit. That is their ART!
