Keep calm, and be a Jane Austen heroine. posted at 1:36 AM

so after getting over my wattpad promo stress I decided to do the one thing I am there to do. I decided to write and I accomplished a whole chapter, edited, and posted! (click here to check out Chapter 8 - Good Morning). I feel better now. I think I need to cool it from the promo stuff for awhile and let the word get out via others for now. It will give me times to refocus, and be on my way to finish this story. I am not even half way done yet, but I am excited for the possibilities.

Ended up confessing to my mom earlier today about my writing and divulged my whole story in an embarrassingly passionate manner (silly me) and she was...surprisingly impressed. Go figure. She even said she was proud of me. --Is that all it took mom? Ha. Regardless, she thinks I have an amazing idea on my hands. Now if I can just transfer those brain waves to paper...uhh, I mean Microsoft word.

Update on manuscript:
Page Count: 106
Word Count: 21,993

Not bad.

Its 1:33AM I should be dreaming.

Now Good night, I leave you with the wonderful words of my (secret) (ok, maybe not so secret) (predictable) idol Jane Austen:


“I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.”
—Jane Austen, in a letter to her sister, Cassandra

Ideas. posted at 7:59 PM


This will be the tagline to my book. She is no Al Capone --because she is on the good side, but she get can a lot more done with a smile and gun. Please check out my story "Emotionally Compromised"

Synopsis:
Alex Turner, a 24 year old federally trained secret agent has spent most of her existence running away from life and love and instead focusing on her job. Working in a man's world she has a lot to prove, and ridding her emotions of most situations seems to work best. But she is still just a girl underneath it all, and she can get herself into trouble sometimes. Being young, beautiful and deadly may have its perks, but getting the respect of her team is harder to come by. While finally getting the opportunity to prove herself being the main agent for a big case involving a biologically engineered disease, she thinks this is her chance to make her mark. Marcus Gibbs wants to sell his disease to the highest paying terrorist group. Thinking Marcus is her main objective --his boss, the attractive Jeremy Hunt, gets in the way and tries to get her to drop all her emotional walls. With the world's safety weighted on her shoulders, her constantly questioning ex-boyfriend (him also being her boss), and a new potential love interest getting in the way of everything she has a lot of serious choices to make
