Thursday, My Favorite Day.

Good afternoon, everybody. Today is my favorite day of the week. Thursday. Why is Thursday my favorite day of the week? Two reasons.

Vampire Diaries and Supernatural. My two favorite shows are all new on Thursdays.

Thursday wasn't always good for me though. It used to be one of my least favorite days. When I was going to school I hated Tuesday and Thursday. I couldn't have liked those two days any less. It seriously got to the point where when Tuesday or Thursday rolled around, my mom would just leave me alone.

To this day I have no idea why I disliked those two days so much.

Anyway... Work on Beauty and the Angel is going pretty steadily right now. Being told that I would have to fork over $12,000 to get published sort of lit a fire under my tush.

Dorrance Publishing was the reason I started Blood Red Roses. I sent in a request for some information about getting published and they said that I needed to have a manuscript ready.

That was in August.

By the time I finished BRR in November, I was living in a new place and I had a different perspective on what I was doing. I was writing for me and no one else.

I didn't send my manuscript into them until about a month ago. A couple weeks ago I got an email saying that they would love to work with me, but I'd have to pay them $12,000 first. I replied politely that as an 18 year old aspiring author without a real job with steady income, I couldn't afford that. I got a reply that said I could pay it in installments as low as $500 a month.

I don't know about you, but I don't have $500 a year, let alone a month.

I respectively declined their offer and have been working diligently to make Beauty and the Angel as awesome as it can possibly be.

I am going to Okeechobee, my hometown, tomorrow. I always do my best work there. I don't know why, but I do. I wrote almost all of Nephilim at my mom's office.

The online store is under construction right now. I sort of fudged it up the other day and I have to fix it. That is my goal today.

I don't think I've ever done a survey over on this side of the "Hunterverse". It should be fun to compare my answers to Mrs. Hunter's.

1. Do you and your boyfriend/ girlfriend fight a lot?
   I don't have a boyfriend or a girlfriend.
2. Are you afraid to grow up?
   Yes. Most "grown ups" have let responsiblity and other things steal all of their creativity and their... childishness.
   
3. What's your favorite thing to do in the summer time?
   I'm not too into the outdoor stuff. I do like the heat though. I'm not big on doing normal summertime things. I definitely dislike the beach.
