Well, or at least for a few days. Now it’s on the hands of a great friend that will give me her opinion and in June another great friend will read it. I have amazing friends.

I still can’t believe that I translated this whole novel by myself and that I revised it 10 times. It’s been forever!

I want to thank all of you who encouraged me to do this by myself, to try and cheered me up all the way. Even if this novel never gets an agent or gets published I will be proud because it was my first in English.

Really I can’t thank you enough!

Now it comes time to plan and think, the YA market is very competitive and I already wrote a paranormal romance that has very few chances to get picked since there’s a lot out there. Summer is coming with kids at home for a month and a half so I want to outline three novels so I can draft them during he school year. I’m thinking about two contemporary and one sci-fi,fantasy, romance novel (if that genre even exists).

For one of them I have to research a lot about medical care in the US because I know nothing but I think all this time will help.

Also I plan to memorize the elements of style in the summer and read whatever good book about writing I kind find. I’m open to suggestions…

Glowing shadow will not go to submissions until my friends read it and I revise it again, then I will make a tea and wait.

For now I will take the morning off and go shopping!

Again thank you to all of you!

Sorry for all this days only post on Wednesday, but I’m deep in revisions of Glowing Shadow. It’s almost done and I can’t stop!!!

I hope this images inspire you as they inspire me every day. Feel free to tell which is your favorite and why or even share ours!

Since I’m an introvert I loved this one.

Tomorrow is mother’s day here in Mexico and I found this image and quote beautiful!

Have a great day! Back to revisions I go!

We just got back to normal, we had a long weekend here in Mexico. Friday kids didn’t had school because teachers have a meeting every last Friday of the month (Why I don’t know) Monday they decided it was a good idea to give it off since Tuesday was May 1. I wonder why this is a good idea since the kids just got back to school from two weeks of spring break. Oh and they are having Monday 14 and Tuesday 15 off to because the 15 is teachers day. I wonder how they’re going to grade April and May or most importantly if my kids are going to learn something this months!

Anyway, today I hope I can go back to my MS. Three more pages and it will be fully translated the I will have to go back to a revision and off to my awesome critique partner.

Well, so here are the images of the day:

And last I’m posting this image that I think is helpful for everyone:

I hope some images help you, inspire you or just make you laugh!

As always all this images I got them from my friends on Facebook!

If you like too share here images that inspire you or make you laugh, or only comment if some of them helped.

I hope all of you are well and having an awesome day!

I love strong female characters so I couldn’t resist sharing this.

Also I had to share something about writing, that’s what I do!

And to the end something funny!

I hope this images inspire you , make you laugh or think. If they did I’ll be happy!

Have a great day!

This Wednesday I have many images and quotes to share with you, I hope they inspire you as much as they inspire me:

This is very true with my WIP. The wrong choices are taking me to awesome places.

I would love to have a place like this one!

For all of you my friends:

Now I’m going to quote something from Kristen Lamb’s blog post: The secret to success- quitting. Read it if you have time, it’s great.

“You are a pre-published author...who happens to also be a stay-at-home-mom, a computer programmer, a salesperson, a whatever.” Kristen Lamb.

Have a great and inspiring day!

So patesden tagged me to this challenge. Thank you. Please go read her lines here:http://patesden.livejournal.com/96647.html

Okay so I will paste down here the explanation of the challenge:

The 7-7-7 Challenge:
Flip to page 77 or page 7 of your current WIP.
Find line 7.
Post the 7 sentences that follow.
Tag 7 more writers.

Here are the lines of my current WIP, Glowing Shadow, I didn’t wanted to cut in the middle of a sentence so is one more line:

Something punched my chest, slamming me against the walls. My vision blurred, my bones shouted in pain. My muscles ached. My thoughts hurt. I couldn’t move. Cold air danced around me, bit at my skin, and I swallowed with difficulty.

What happened? Lunging outward at my attacker, determination took possession of my body, pushing aside my pain.

I forced open my eyes and evil energy seized me. Brown eyes, full of anger and purpose, bore into me. A black mask covered the person’s face, making the stare more threatening. Muscles taut as if ready to attack again. The being moved closer, murderous and menacing as it crossed the space between us.

AND YOU’RE NEXT:

7. All of you my lj list who want to share! I couldn’t put everyone so this is a way.

Please don’t feel any pressure you can say no, or share from another story you wrote. I thought it was a good idea to pass on, to motivate each other.

Well, as you can see I’m back. Kids are at school and I’m back to writing!

Have a great day!

So, kids are on spring break for this week and the next one. I was prepared for that even when it’s crazy sometimes but for what I wasn’t prepared is for not having, telephone, internet or TV. Imagine the times when mommy is cooking or doing laundry and there’s not TV!!!!

So, I called the company and after having me the last week like an hour every time I called on hold they said that it was their mistake and that they will solve it within 48 hours. But it never got solved. I have my ear red of being in the phone. So today I cancelled my contract and tomorrow is coming another company to make all the changes.

So I’ll be away( although trying to read you and answer your posts) until kids get back to school.

This Wednesday images are perfect for what I lived these days:

I hope you have a great Easter and a more fun spring break!

"Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead."
~Josh Whedon

I took it from Mused

Happy day!

I’m proud of being the grand daughter of this marvelous woman who always had forgiveness in her heart, and she truly forgets everything. That woman that loves me with every bit of her heart and when she spent time with me gave me all the love she had.

Yesterday was her 84th birthday, here’s the picture:

She’s already losing her memory but you know what, she remembers me, she’s always asking for me by my name and also is asking about my kids. She says to everyone that her grand daughter loves her very much. And I’m so proud that even when she only hears me from the phone and sees photos I send her every once in a while she still remembers. I only pray to God to make me able to see her and take my children with me to see her before she completely loses her memory or dies.

The man of the back is also the best grandfather of the world but I‘ll leave him for another post.

Oh by the way yesterday arrived Carlos grades, they grade him in all the subjects in English and Spanish from 0 to 10 and he got all 10!! I’m so proud of him, of how hard he’s trying to be the best aside from his ADDHD.

Okay enough of things of being proud of. Back to work!

Have an amazing day!

After what happened yesterday and also what is still happening we had already 18 earthquakes after the last one. But thank God almost everything is okay in the city. My family is completely perfect.

So know what inspires me today:

Ps: I found the images around the wife along the years, but of them come from trying god’s patience or mused in Facebook.

I hope you have a happy and not shaky day!
