Quick Note- Promises kept
Hello My Dear Friends,
As you may know I am slow to do everything I say I will do.. -pokes books-
But I want you to know I keep my promises. I feel very strongly about keeping your word once you give it.. I am bad at keeping promises to myself though. So here is the update with me…
2 books in progress printed by me and watter marked. So I can take them with me to work when I am bored… Who knows I may write a few more chapters. It worked out the other day when I wrote the second chapters and a half while waiting at the doctors.. The thing I hate is typing it all up, but that just makes my work better I noticed…
Also I have copy rights to them too. Thank you Mr Post man!! So do not think of stealing my work.. Not that you would..
I leave Sunday for my trip.. And I will be co hosting a party tomorrow (All day I am afraid) So I will sleep on the plane probably..
The good news is I posted Chapter two of “A Knight All Along” just before this so make sure you go read it if you like it.. It is now officially 10,000 words… And almost the same as one of my books so it may end up a book after all. Nonetheless, for now I will still share it with you, my friends..
Since I have a usy day and -pokes my bed- still a lot of packing to do I am gonna call it a night and I hope to post updates when I get back with some lovely images for you all. Please make sure to leave me feed back. Thanks!!
Lots of Hugs,

I am working hard
I know I have been slacking on my books, sometimes I really do not have the time but other times I should be working on it..People keep asking me for my word count so I added them here. One of my books has over 40,000 but that is on the far back burner. It needs a lot of work and an overhaul. I want to finish these first.
Here is my Progress report: I have been working the past 4 days on my book.. I reviewed four chapters and am working on more chapters (5-6) at once, in my “A Crimson Star” book. 72 pages 10,540 something words. I added a lot to the second and third chapters. I sent the first two chapters of this to woman editing my book today.
And I am working on my Faith Based book. “Miracles Still Happen Today” 81 pages, = 15,000 something words, 3 chapters done chapters plus unfinished 5,6,7, chapters… And other scattered things I wrote to be placed later. I added a lot to the first and second chapter. I am waiting on my mother to confirm the family that was there and if I named the hospital right. When I finish the the third chapter and forth I hope I will send it all back to the woman editing for me. So she can check my changes and edit the rest.
Well that is it for now, God bless you!

Back in the Swing again……
Hello there!!
I have been out due to bad sinuses for almost a month. Wet weather, and lots of pollen do not work well together. This really sucks, not being able to stay awake well or think clearly due to a throbbing head… Not wanting to eat anything because you can’t breath completely… However I am, Finlay over it. Thank you God!! I have been feeling horrible about not writing.
So I will be working on my books again come Monday. I have to get some chapters to my mom’s friend. Every time I tried before the file would not save right. I am just gonna print the selected pages and hope that works..
Also one of my favored online comic artistes are on FourmSpring, so I decided to join too. http://www.formspring.me/AnjiuSutoMu If you don’t know what that is. It is just a place to ask questions and see answers to them.. It is quite addicting. XD Speaking of Comics.. The blog one I started http://anovelife.wordpress.com some people can not see the images so I do not know what to do… 😦
Thank you Farah for your support!! ❤ it makes me want to work harder!!

Where do I begin…
Hello there my beloved readers,
I am pleased to tell you every day this week I have been writing.. That is the most work I have done in months. It has been a pain the ass to do too.. My desk top is still broken and my laptop keys are faulting. Luckily I have an external keyboard from my down desk top that I can use, but I have to sit in odd positions and hold it on my lap which is some what easier then leaning over my “laptop desk” but it is more work.. I have dropped my poor keyboard five times today.. 😦 I love my equipment and think it is a blessing that I can do this at all.
Ok moving on I am sure you want to know how my books are coming.
“Miracles Still Happen Today” or “Believing is Harder Then You think” 1st chapter is DONE!!! I mean done done!! no more need to reedit anything.. And a editor saw it. Chapter two is almost DONE DONE. I had some details wrong. I was a newborn, how am I supposed to know everything.. XD So I fixed them and ended up writing several more pages. I just need to finish up the last two pages and then I will be done with Chapter 2.. Chapter three is done but I need to proof read it and I hope to send both to my new friend editor Monday.. That will be about 50 pages for her to read and I am not done. It is flowing out so nicely, if I keep at it It should definitely be done this year like I want.
“A Crimson Star” I have chapters 1-4 done I am just proof reading them and I will also sent to the same woman to edit.
Both books are about 60+ pages and about 6 chapters… I can not wait to share them with you!! I will post what I have for both first chapters tonight or in the morning for you to get a taste.. I already have the first chapter of the Crimson Star up but please wait to read it till I post that I have updated it.. That is an old draft..
Thanks, *HUGS*

Hello Friends,
Welcome to my page…Here are my latest news and wants..
FIRST: and most important. I really need a BETA reader. You will get to read all my works before anyone else. But I will have to ask you not to share them with anyone till I am done.. If interested please comment here.
Second: I am Looking for an Artist to illustrate some very interesting ideas for me, as an ongoing team effort. I have many “panel” comic ideas. Not a manga comic but more like a weekly strip. I asked a friend but she is busy and I don’t want to distract her form her own agenda. So if you are interested please. So I am looking for an artist to draw some news paper like comics for me that I have ideas for. A once a month strip.. I would be a different thing each time. Thank you. I have info about it on my deviant art page I would like to hold a contest for it but am not sure on what I could do for a prize. Maybe sneak peaks at my books.. “Anjiu” My DA page..
Third: I have been writing a lot for http://deeplyrootedinhim.wordpress.com and I am starting the progress of puting it in book format while re-writing some of the stuff there.
Forth: Do you get annoyed about how I do lists, I can’t help it though, I like to be organized. Any ways… For my personal updates..
* I have great news. My mother got office 2007 for me. Yes it isn’t the best but it comes with the word 2007 which I had for a short time on my laptop, which I loved when it first came out, and now I have it again!! Isn’t that awesome!! So that makes me want to write more, and I will…
* We got a new puppy. He is a beauty. When I figure out how to add pictures I will do a blog of just them or a page for you. He is so handsome, he is a Great Dane 9 weeks old. White with Grey patches and spots. He has one blue eye and one silver eye. His name is Linus. ❤ AND he is a huge handful. Bur a blessing.. Furthermore my sister is buying another, which we will get in a two to three weeks. EEKKK!

Back In Action!
Hello My Dear Friends,
I am so sorry it has been a while almost three months since I have posted any news or really worked on my books. You see.. My family and I have been hit with a lot of things. Finances; Vehicle troubles; My baby sister’s new baby; Hose work, errands, re- doing my room (yes – after a year it is still a work in progress); Romance problems; The Swine Flu; Misunderstanding with a few Friends, and of course some Deaths: A Friend, My Grandpa, and then Our dog.
*sigh* I have been meaning to write I started a few journals but I didn’t know what to say and to be honest I really didn’t want to write.. I was doubting my dreams. Thinking about all the things I have wanted to do and does’t seem to be happening. I am 28 single for three years, no children.. I have 4 cats, 1 bird, my and my 2007 nitro… I watch my nephew five days a week, and pet and house sit when I can.
I have been so wrapped up in not having what I really want (A Husband, yes I like some one. I need to get the courage to tell him.) And not doing anything worth wile in a while I forgot all I need to do is get off my ass and do it. So the past three months I have been doing just hat. Getting things done at my Church, helping my family more, and my friends and doing every thing but writing and my room..
The good news: We are getting a new puppy as soon as he is old enough next month!! Our Life group is going well, I have a steady flow of money again, I am working out again, I am keeping up with the chores, I have new determination, and most of all – Conner is taking 1 long nap a day where I get time to write now! Woot!! Praise God!
So this month coming I promise to write more and to get my ass in gear and finish my room, well at least get it as close as I can to an office till I can afford new tile and paint.. I got a new door this weekend!! Thats a start!!!
I am still hoping I can find an artist to turn my books into comics as I write them, of course I would share the royalties, but no one has had the time because most the authors I like have a busy life right now as well.. I think I will hold a contest in a month or two as I get more of my main books done..
Again I am sorry I have been away, though I don’t really think I have any serious fans yet… If you read this, thank you!
God bless you today and always!

Out of Town: Loss in the Family
Hey all,
Just a quick update. I am out of town. My grandpa was extremly ill, and passed away Sunday. I came to Washington State form Florida. To say good bye, and stay for a family gathering.
I brought my laptop and books, because I thought I would have lots of time to write. But no time has come up where I am in my right mind. So I am sorry for the delays but no new chapters for awhile. Maybe some time this week I will get some work done. I feel like a zombie going through the motions most the time.
Any ways please make sure to leave comments, notes, feedback. I want to get your input. Good and Bad. It is still very raw, I do not have an editor yet. I am hoping my friend Karlin and Tony may help. We shall see.
“Grandpa Guy I will miss you! I look forward to seeing you in Heaven one day though! ”
Take care, hugs!

More Delays..
Hello my Dear friends,
Well I am fully recovered now! And I got a lot of writing done yesterday. Woot!!
But our home is a mess. We have no water we have a pipe leak under our floor, which means out floor needs to be torn up. 😦 Now due to a ton of rain our system is backed up too and we had to shut our water off completely. Lucky for me, there are places like “Jiffy” to use their facilities and get some coffee.. ❤
So as for work, I have been struggling with the layout of my main book project right now. “Miracles Still Happen Today” I want it to grab attention and pull you in. Yet I want to make sure there is a good foundation. Arg… So while I had it on my brain I took the time to write down all the main Miracles in my life. There are a total of six. While I was at that I also took the time to look up bible verses on unfailing love. What an uplifting task……. All in all that took about three hours… >.<;; Why does it take so long to write? But I am glad I did I now have a summery for myself. And from that I came up with a better outline. So I have a better attack plan!
Here are a few of the verses I found.
Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. ~Psalms 104:1
But I trust in your unfailing love.I will rejoice because you have rescued me. ~Psalms 13:5
I cried out, “I am slipping!”but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. ~Psalms 94:18
I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love,for you have seen my troubles,and you care about the anguish of my soul. ~Psalms 31:7
For he loves us with unfailing love;the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise the Lord! ~Psalms 117:2
Praise God, who did not ignore my prayeror withdraw his unfailing love from me. ~Psalms 66:20
Well I am off to watch my nephew now, take care and God bless you!

Yay! Work! No time!
Things have been going good I have been inspired but not a lot of time to write like I had hoped and planed for. I like helping my family out but they keep calling me away when I have the writing bug. I need to just tell my family to give me a break so I can write.. But I can’t seem to say no to them.
Good news is, I have gotten some work done. Not as much as I need to do. I may have to just disappear for a few hours some time and just write. If only I could find a place. Bad news to you. I pass word protected those two chapter / entries. But for 2 good reasons.
1. I didn’t like the chapter ending to “A Crimson Star” I will fix it soon.
2. I think the other one “A Knight All Along” could be extended. And since they are both first chapters. You should have a good impact / impression on them.. Tomorrow I will try and edit both of those and post more of my work..
Then, some feed back would be great! Thanks.
