Another Entry For You......

Hello to all my readers,

I have just started to realise that maybe I can have the dreams that I have been hanging onto by the very ends of my fingernails for most of my life. I started some of my writing idea's years ago. I started to have idea's for what I saw myself writing back when I was just ten. I was told I couldn't be a writer. I was told to get a proper career because, that was what I needed to live on. I couldn't have been more wrong to have listened to the adults that told me that. For four years of my life, I was miserable and hated what I was stuck in.

Then last year I started to write. I took the dream that had sat in my closet for so long and I started to live it. It wasn't my overall dream because, that was to fall in love, have the man of my dreams ask me to marry me and to have the children I had always envisioned in my mind. This dream that I wanted though to be the writer that brought people inspiration. The same inspiration I needed when I was younger to survive my life.

As many of you know that reads my blogs, that watches my Video's never realised this but, the first book I released was such a mess I was ashamed of it. I felt conned, betrayed and hurt by it but, I couldn't let myself give up so I pulled it together and then started the Fire book. I had the idea for a while and when I finished it recently it felt great. I was so glad to have done it. Now am looking forward to the next one.

Although that isn't the biggest part of my writing dream. I wanted to be the one to set Shetland apart from the places I had stayed. I have every reason to hate the Island but, I also have every reason to love it. That is why I wrote the TV script of a lifetime. This took me about 11 years to get to the point that its now on paper. I didn't want to write down all the things I had been holding onto until I could see that there was an actor out there that would be good enough to make Aaron come to life. To be able to know what he would do in every situation, to just become him. I think I have found that person. I also believe I've found his best friend who was someone else I didn't think would be able to be filled by the actors I was seeing. I was so wrong.

I have found not only that person. I never thought that I'd find the person I could trust to direct it. I have also found the person that I can trust to do that. I know that the first season is flowing out of me now. I know that when I present this person with my huge information, Episodes packet then I know there is a huge chance that they might reject this but, if they do then it will never seen the light of day. 'Island of Lies' is something that could show off the bountifulness of the Island yet the audience would be caught up there while, I powerful storyline would tie them up in ribbons of words and feelings. I hope that its good enough for them.

It would make sure that I have achieved my dream by the first step into the water. I will make sure that its not the last. I have strict terms on the contract movie rights to all my books which, means that if my new book is famous then I will at least see it the way that I want it. I just want to keep writing now that I have started and I hope that through being open an somehow honest with my readers that it will help to keep my dreams alive.

Here is the link that will take you to me doing the voice over part of 'Island Of Lies' to give you a chance to hear what I sound like reading it. I hope that it stirs something up inside of you. Please let me know what you think. If you love it then please tell me, tell your friends, hell even twitter your thoughts. I was going to say how it was you should tell that you love this but, then I don't want to upset the three that I believe I can trust with this. To trust them with this is taking alot. I just hope they can see something special in it. I hope you can too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkBvWtjVHoQ

I will leave you now to hear my entry and to see if you love it just as much as I do.

The Author.

Free's Update and What Am Up Too?

Hello all,

Readers today there is a smallest announcement for you all. Am working on Fire but, we are trying to decide whether or not I should publish it under a Pen Name. That is what the hold up is currently. I will let you know when we decide to publish and where we are publishing. I'm very grateful for all of your patience and I can understand that some of you are really wanting to be apart of this journey that is why am going these blogs.

Currently while, we are taking the time to make that huge decision we have been working on 'A Different Life; Three Lane Highway's' re-write. Its going well but, we will be taking more time with it and I promise that it will be a clearer and better read for you all. The character will have the same personalities that you fell in love with but, there will be more of the storyline that I held back from you all.

'A Different Life Series' will be published along side the series of 'Amber's Diaries' and the 'Free Series'. Many of you know that I want to be a series novelist and that will be my main aim so you will have to wait for some of the books for each series as I work between all three of them. I have some book idea's that aren't going to be apart of the series so that ones I will keep you updated with.

I will say that I have a book that I'm going to working on after I finish 'A Different Life; Three Lane Highway' and ' A Different Life; My Sacrifice' that is for a two people who have sent some inspiration my way. I will name them later on within the future blogs am doing. I will though leave you with the name of the book that I plan to decate to the those two. 'The Forever Frat Boy Meets The Nurse' and that is apart of one of the three Series that I have mentioned above.

I am working endlessly behind the scenes to make sure that you will have books that you can read forever and will want to keep forever. Once of which, I'm sure will send some of my most creative fans into the world of writing. If I am able to inspire you like that then I will really have achieved something and I'd be so proud to meet you in the world of writing.

On here I will advise you all the best I can with your writing if I can but, understand if I can't help you with a problem then I will say to you..Other then that I'm glad to be apart of the Writing world and am very happy to have people out there all ready who love what I do.

:D Big smiley faces to you all who have been my endless new fans! Thank you. :D

I will sign off now because I do have to finish 'A Different Life; Three Lane Highway' to give you all something to read while, I continue to create some awesome story-lines for you. Yes, I know am blowing my own trumpet but, to be honest someone has too because there wouldn't be a person out there that will do it for me. NO big head promise.

Take care and promise insights soon,

The Author!

Third Entry To My World

Hello all,

I'm feeling awful today because, I had to have a Vitamin D injection! I have to finish 'Fire's hand-written draft by tomorrow! I'm just three chapters away but, feel really awful. I still haven't decided who to go for but, I have narrowed it down to two in my mind that I would love to share this amazing story with. Bronwyn's Editions or Samhain Publishing!

The writers, women in the Cafe at Samhain Publishing are just wonderful. I have enjoyed sharing the Pictures, Video's, Book insights and more that they are all up too. My email box is always buzzing now. Thanks to them I really want to publish a book with Samhain some day because, I think they will get my writing better then any other of the people who I have shared my writing so far with.

I have just realised that as soon as I finish 'Fire' then am going to have to start work on making 'A Different Life; Three Lane Highway' alot better because, I feel that its the book that might be able to get signed at Samhain if I really polish it up. That will be hard I know but, I know I can do it. That series deserves to be read and to be cherished! I have a feeling that the wonderful women in the Cafe will be those people. From there I know that I can go out and make the book something that the 'Hardy's, TNA and the WWE' will want to be involved with. I will though need you all to help me with that by buying it when it comes out again.

I hope though through sharing my mind with you all that their will be a fan connection that you will never forget. I am aiming to not be like those people who have caused me to have a bad fan experiences in the past. I hope that this will be a good thing for me to do in the future because, I am going to use Twitter alot more, set up a fan space section of Facebook. That way if someone leaves me a message then I will answer. The same with Myspace. I wouldn't be like some of the people I idealise that go on the sites tell people their thoughts but, then ignore them because they are famous and we aren't.

*Rant over promise*

I want to remind my readers on here to please check out two shows that am able to chill out too. They have a different set of humour but, you are guaranteed a laugh though The Hardy Show might just also shock you too. Both of these shows I can see on our TV screens at some point in the future because, the people who are in them are just have the energy that makes both of the shows click.

The Hardy Show is a mixed entertainment show that reaches out to all audiences and type of people out there. They make you laugh with some of their comedy and they can scare you with the Y-Light-Zone along with the documentaries that are about there lives as wrestlers is something else. Jeff's story of how his house burns down in that accident brings me to tears. Its a story that can't help but, warm your heart.

The Neighbros that is on the Internet and has been recently getting alot of attention is great to watch. I feel inspiration from there shows and it gives me a really good laugh. The characters in it are well developed as well as the concept. Scott M Foster has made the show something to watch out for with his already building success from his lead role in 'Greek' while his co-actor Jaimie Jon has made the show have the perfect balance that something like that would need. You will see some great camera angles that make it look very professional and good enough to be aired on a Network TV. You also get to see a side of humour that makes it really worth watching.

So here are the links to these great shows and I hope that you will enjoy them just as much as I do. I will say to those of you have seen my comments as well as my thoughts on the recent conversation with Scott M Foster who never replied. He is a great actor, even if he only picks and chooses who to reply to then that is his deal. I might not agree with his online fan attitude but, I wouldn't stop supporting him because, his work and talent deserve the attention and the endless success that I feel like he deserves.


www.thematthardyshow.com

Neighbros are a free show while the Hardy show is a couple of Dollars that when you watch there shows you will realise are worth every cent (penny if your UK). I wish both shows the ultimate respect and I will always be a Hardy Show Mark and hope to make a contribution to there shows.

That will be my blog for now I hope to do an interview soon and will keep you as updated as possible but, with not being well at the moment am limited to what I can do. Big hugs to you all,

Enjoy!

Got Influences!

Hello all,

Today I had wanted to make good progress on my book and I didn't. Distracted was what I got! I wanted to finish up a huge section because, I feel like I need to finish this for Saturday because that day is special for me.

I have been addicted to Greek recently and I have been thinking of my days when I was at collage. It was a test of my wits and strength.Yes but, I miss things from those days. I know what your thinking its just another whim because I have been watching the America culture show Greek but, I don't think its that. I think the reason I have made so many mistakes with my writing is because I don't know the field am getting involved with. Its a great thing to say that I want to be involved with the Writing Industry and to be famous some day for my work but, I don't know anything!

It's weird I spent an hour on the phone with a friend of mine who is at UNI and she loves it but, everyone from my Island isn't keen on it. I was never great with money and I screwed up collage but, I was seventeen and stupid.

My readers I got through the 'A Different Life; Three Lane Highway' book (which, is being pulled) and they pray for me. They twitter me and support me but, I don't know what is up with me. I feel like am in a funk today. Writing is normally my release but, its been hard to focus today.

So wonderful readers out there tell me, your idea's on my funk!

Second Entry To You All

Hello all,

Another day means another entry today am going to share the secrets of how I let my words flow onto the page.

I normally start with a cup of coffee or tea before I take a piece of paper out where I map out what way I want to write my story. I start with the summary of what my characters adventure will take then I map out each chapter with a name, number and a break down with what I will put into each of those chapters. Its then that once I have written them out and know the pointers I have in each chapter I then proceed to write the story that I want to do.

Often like a lot of writers I get stuck or writers block so to speak and I have about fifteen ways of dealing with that. One of which, is read through my pointers then if am unable to get further on then I read through the words I have already written. If that doesn't work then I use other pointers that I will share at another Blog.

Here in my second entry today I will talk about the pointers that I work with but, I can see that there is alot more to each section. I make sure that each section is carefully researched to make sure that I don't make my work too far out of reality for my readers. Each piece of work I use in a base of which, I have the knowledge of and do my best to make the best I can out of each story.

I hope that upon each piece of work I will share with my readers that its the best that I can do and hope that its something that will be inspiration to all that read it. I was inspired by great writers and actors out there to write. I hope that through my work I will help keep the life of the written word alive for the following generations to come.

What other hope can a writer inspire?

First of Many

Hello,

This is my first blog on 'Inside KB's Mind' I have several sites devoted to my writing but, I wanted a blog site that was separate from the book stuff. Here I wouldn't talk shot as much as I do when am on my other sites.

I'm going to let you into the mind of how I create my stories and how I make the stories flood out of my mind onto the page. I'm going to start with the most obvious one thing that I do, I will also talk about what things are influencing me and what am reading at the moment.

My one thing that is obvious is that I write the stories that come out of dreams and this world that I have created inside my mind because its safe in there. I feel safe enough now to play with the idea's that aren't the most common thing to be found in the writing world. I love my music and when my partners not around then am the one singing around the house and writing songs.

I have from the inside of my 80 stories buildings, fields sea's and islands world. I have been able to do Episodes for TV Shows none of which, I have placed out there yet but, maybe one day someone will pick them up. I have also created songs and have the ability to be Pixie.

I was called Pixie when I was a collage student at Adam Smith Collage Fife but, there I was the person who was inside of me. Now am calmer and have less Pixie time but, am the heroine or the storyteller of the other people who live inside my world. In the I'm able to play with these idea's and people so that the books that seem to be endlessly knocking at the doors inside of my head to be something truly different and make them stand out to all of you. In there there is more then just me and the other people that are inside my world that don't seem to mind the craziness that is me.

Anything is possible and I know how hard it is to be a starting out writer. I think that some of you that might read this will think we'll I haven't heard of you. I say to you that you haven't heard of me yet! I promise that you will all hear about me really soon because, I'm dreaming dreams that will take me to heights of levels that will make even me weak in the knees.

I've had many mountains to climb in my life but, now that I'm older there is so many more that I want to climb and I'm not going to stop with the normal ones. I would like to see a whole set of book shelves donated to my work and that is just the tip of my very large Iceberg. Its a dream of mine to write for the Hardy Show and I hope that they will enjoy the episode idea's that come out of my head. Maybe even one day decide they want to use it and maybe use me as one of there writers.

When I'm writing and as many of you know now if you follow me am pulling my first book called 'A Different Life; Three Lane Highway' am I bummed? Yes I am but, that isn't going to stop my dreams. I'm working on another book that I have faith in. Its called 'FIRE' and its going to be the best work I have ever done. Am half way finished but, I know that people wouldn't talk the risks that am taking with this book.

I have a wonderful mentor and editor that is guiding me through the mines that I have fallen over all ready when it came to the first book. She has turned my usual wonderful work into something worth reading by making sure that I haven't got typos or grammar dudes or spelling that is just shocking. When am in the zone sometimes I miss these more then I'd care to admit. That is the problem when your dyslexic but, that isn't stopping me.

I do though know that 'A Different Life; Three Lane Highway' will be a book again some day because am going to pull it. Clean it up, add the pieces I feel it needs and make it something that I can be really proud of. When I have done that then I know there is plenty people out there that will want to see what am going to do with it and I'm looking forward to sharing that with them.

I have recently joined the Samhain Publishing's Cafe of Authors, Writers and readers. I have to say its a wonderful place. I have just won two of their books and have to say that I feel their cover art blows me away even if its not subtle to work around with when your out in public all the time. I though feel that its a wonderful place that has made me feel so welcome.

I'm a author that tends to do Video blogs more then I do written ones so prepare yourselves for them as well. At the moment I will have to say good night but, I will share my writing routines with you all soon. I think that maybe some of people who read my madness will find out that my madness routines when it comes to writing might help them but, at the end of the day you need to find a way to release your potential onto the world. For me this is my way of making a mark, what will be yours?

Your author, writer and fellow blogger,
