Just One of Those Dayz!!!

Hi all,

You ever feel like you just can't get anything done (the right way, anyway)? Or every single thing and one is getting on your last nerve? Or have a punching bag would come in mighty fine just then? Or feel like your head is about to explode?

Well, today is one of those days for me. Yay, aren't I lucky..... Writing is out of the question as of this moment....

*sigh*

So, it's still early in the day so imma try to get rid of this dark cloud hanging over me. Or maybe I should just invest in a good punching bag? Either way, let's see how this day goes.

Hope you're having a better day that I am!!! See ya....

Happily Ever After?

“And they lived happily ever after.”

This is the common ending for most fairy tales. And quite frankly I’m quite sick of hearing it. What the bleep does it mean? The couple never has a fight? Never have hard times? No troubles?

 That sounds highly unlikely. But to be fair it is a fairy tale after all, where good always wins, the girl always gets the Prince Charming and has a great singing voice. Nothing like reality. And why are they all so damn beautiful, no flaws in sight. You know the stereotype. The princess has long flowing hair, perfect teeth aand a size zero waistline. The prince is…well, Prince Charming with his winning smile. Don’t not-so-beautiful people deserve a happy ending also. People with the chipped tooth, curvy waistline and close cropped hair.

Although I understand wanting to protect our children from the harsh relality of life, that is just it, reality. You can’t run from it. It’s always in you face like that damn pimple that always pops up at the most inopportune times. I think that having a child grow up unprepared for the real world irresponsible. While I want my son to enjoy everything life has to offer, I don’t want him to go into the world with rose-colored glasses and be unprepared for people who in no way see the world in the same light.

We are giving children the wrong idea about what love is. Does love mean you always like your other half, that you live in the biggest house on the block, that you are crowned royality? Of course not. As a matter of fact, I would more readily believe that a couple that fights daily, live in the tiniest house on the block and are deemed ‘peasants”  and are happy with each other, flaws and all, know far more about what love really is. And that’s a happy ending to me.

So while I like mostly everyone enjoy a good fairy tale, I think a more appropriate ending is in order.

Writing Update

Hi guys.

I have been working on my new Series (and first ever), the Kiale Sons, pronounced key ale.

This has been very exciting for me since this is my first paranormal romance. It is a three part series. I don’t want to give anyway anything yet but there are vampires and angels and not the “normal” kind! Does that make sense?

Anyway…

Book one, entitled Dreaming With Ralden has been in the works and the first draft has been completed. Yay!

Now for the most tedious part; editing. I don’t know why but I don’t like editing although I get pretty caught up in it once I start (starting is the hardest part). I should be done by the end of October. Wisk me luck.

Self-Published and Loving it!!

Well, as I have already said, I have decided to go the self-publishing route. And I must tell you it's a lot of work.

But....

There is always a but...LOL

I'm loving it.  I feel empowered. I'm in control of every aspect of my book: writing, publication, graphics. And it's a great feeling.

I sold my first book on Amazon within the first two hours that it was published. I was jumping for the ceiling, I must tell you.

*Sigh*

Back to work then. Promoting is a b*tch. But loving it. Learning a lot.

Space Bound-Eminem

Hey again everyone!
Okay, this is basically a ramble but I wanted to share. LOL
Anyway, this is a song called Space Bound by Eminem on his album, Recovery. It's basically about this guy who is head over heels in love with his girlfriend but she's just stringing him along, cheating on him. In the end, he completely loses it. Very sad, really. Here's a clip of the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JByDbPn6A1o&ob=av3e

What caught me about this video is the fact that women (most, really) complain that men are dogs and when a good guy comes along, some woman breaks his heart and ruins him for someone else who is genuinely interested.

It just seems ironic to me. We complain that there are no good men left, find a good one, then convert him to just another dog by breaking his heart. So, that makes me wonder, are we the ones creating the "dogs"? I know logically that there are some really bad, womanising assholes running around hurting good women but there seems to be a high number of woman doing the same thing to good men. Have women become so jaded that we now act like the female equivalent of a dog?

I always had the philosophy  that if you're no longer interested in someone, it would be way kinder to break it off with them before moving on to the next best thing, man or woman. I would prefer that to being cheated on. You know, do onto others as you would like them to do onto you...

I was fortunate to find a good guy early on in my life and I have never suffered any real heartbreak in the romance department but I always hear all these stories about guys who go dumped or cheated on for whatever reason and it scares me becuase I have a son and I don't want in to grow up in a world where woman are bitter and men are resentful.

So, women please take care of the good guys!
Let me know what you think...

Why are we here?

Tonight I was watching an episode of “Everybody Loves Raymond” and Raymond’ s daughter, Ally asked him to explain the meaning of life to her.  And he freaked. And his wife freaked. And his brother and parents freaked.  They even called the local priest! And that’s the way most people react when they have that question posed to them.

But something really struck me. At some point in all the freaking, someone (can’t remember who) said that maybe God does not want us to know the meaning of life but wants us to look for the answer anyway (or something to that effect, cant remember the exact wording). You think so?

Personally, I think we are all too caught up in trying to answer that question instead of living. If we were meant to know what life is all about, we would enter this world with an instruction manual and life would be easy-peasy. No? But where is the fun in that, huh?

And why would you want to know anyway? Wouldn’t knowing take away the mystery of a new day? Wouldn’t it take away the wonder of learning something new, trying something different? Wouldn’t it make us stop trying to be the best we can be?

I think if we knew the answer, we would stop appreciating the little things that matter. We would all lose our personal sense of purpose. We would…just stop. After all everything would have  already come in a neat, bow-covered package. What would be left for us to do?

Anyway…

I’m not trying to go too deep here. The question just popped up. Let me know what you think.

Welcome

Hi all!!!

In this vast space called the internet I'm fairly sure no one knows who I am (for now) so I'll introduce myself. I'm Nacomy Blue (Hey, I know it's a little unusual but I swear it's my real name--the first one at least. Blue is my favorite color-- today anyway. It changes depending on my mood. LOL)

I am an aspiring Romantica writer and I would like to share my journey with you, the ups and downs. Hopefully, there are more ups than downs. I'll be sure to keep you posted on how it goes. I'll be done with my first book in a few weeks and then I hope to be a published author (fingers crossed, tightly).

I'm really excited about this, suffering from a mid-life crisis before the age of twenty, I think I've finally found my niche. I've always loved a good romance with a lil' edge and some good, hard loving--who doesn't, right? With so many steamy stories swimming around in my head, I decided to put them on paper--well, on the word processor (for some reason, writing on paper stops my creative process)-- and share them with the world. And the world had better like them or else... Kidding... Maybe...

Anyway...

I've been trying my hand at blogging for about six months now and kept running into "blogger's block"--Blogging For Dummies didn't work for me-- and finally decided to just blog about me--endless material there, right? I mean, who knows me better that...well, me?

So this is me.  Hope you like it and if you don't, that's okay too.

Questions and comments are always welcomed.
