OUTLANDER on STARZ!

I am a huge fan of Diana Gabaldon! And, like everyone else, I've been watching (more like stalking) her website for new juicy details of the anticipated Outlander mini-series to be on STARZ later this year. Even though I don't have STARZ but I am seriously debating on getting it just so I could watch the series (although I already planned on buying the dvds).

Diana is a huge inspiration to me and I thrived to be a writer just like her. Go Diana!

Sam Heughan as Jamie (Yay!)
Tobias Menzies as Jack Randall (Super!)
and other awesome stars has joined the cast as well, but the burning question is who is going to be Claire?

Biting nails and pulling hair, I CAN'T wait for this series to began! I guess, in the mean time, I will just have to make do with re-reading the series again.

Keep Pushing Forward

In the recent weeks I have been trying to learn more on how to be a better author, writer, and reader. It's fun to learn! There are soooooo many things out there that it almost seems overwhelming, but persistent is the key.

I recently read some of the feedbacks to FALLEN and it's tough to read the discouraging ones, but it will help me to improve. It is tough to be a independent author, especially a first-time author, since I am writing this series on my own. It would be better if I had someone to bounce ideas off of, help with editing, or give me constructive criticism. 

Currently, I've started working on the second book of the series: TAKEN. But I am debating to re-publish an extended edition of FALLEN.....hmm.

I've learned that to be a better author, you must be avid reader. And that's what I've been doing! I have been reading non-stop every chance I get because I want to be a better writer. FALLEN is the first book I've ever written because I felt compelled to tell a story, this story. I will continue to write because I want to write and I enjoy it. It would be ideal if I could get an agent, someone who is a guide and a friend.

I am not a published author (yet) but I will be, because persistent is the key.
