In Media – In The Middle Of

Okay, it’s Wednesday!  Nothing to see here.  I get so tired of people saying, “Oh!  It’s Hump Day!”  As far as I’m concerned, every day could be Hump Day.  Depends on when your weekend starts.  😉  Thankfully, the one thing I like about Wednesday is that I feel like I get home from work and write until I suddenly realize it’s bed time.  Some times, I even miss my dinner.

The project I’m currently working on is very demanding in that I have to do research on the historical era, re-familiarize myself with the fashion, and other literary shenigans.  Taking up more time than my previous novels (in the research department, that is), but I’m enjoying every second of it.  My head space is so crowded with ideas, and concepts, and theories, that some days I think it might explode.  From pure genius!  Okay, that’s taking it a step too far.

All in all, I’m always very excited about my novel.  I’m not at the pivotal section of the book that has the historical event that it surrounds, but it is always so fascinating to craft the characters and build everything up to that crucial conjuncture.  I know it will be like a beautiful collection of notes, leading up to a crescendo of equally marvelous paragraphs, and sentences, and ultimately (I hope), book.

Oh, FYI, that picture does not represent me at all.  In fact, it more accurately depicts what my family has to do to get me away from my computer.

And on that note, it’s been real!

It’s Been Real!

Hello!  Welcome to “It’s Been Real!”  I created this blog partially to vent and proclaim wonderful news to the world.  But also, I need another creative outlet.  Writing is my passion, and I am quite proud to say that I’ve been writing since I was twelve-years-old, and have self-published a couple of books.

My first book

That is the link to my first book that is currently on Amazon.  It’s a medieval-fantasy, that is a slight nod to the great works of J.R.R. Tolkien.  Like most young people my age, I’ve read “The Hunger Games”, and “The Divergent” series.  I enjoyed them!  Don’t get me wrong; but I felt there was a need for a heroine who isn’t so conflicted and confused.  She’s got the beauty, the brains, a funny sidekick, and a loyal group of friends.  Hopefully, that might spark some interest…?

It’s Been Real! will not just be about my writing.  I plan to also use this as a means to point out certain aspects of mankind and critique them (including my own faults, i.e. bluntness).  So, I hope that you will grant me the time of day and read my blog posts.  Thank you, whoever you are!20170723_132032
