Bloggity-blog-blog . . . Buried Tour & general griping XD

So, as of last night (at roughly 11:15-11:20, EST), I officially sent the FINAL version of Buried to my publisher. Anyone who read the story as a serial will be pleased to know that what was originally 1 chapter of additional content not released during the serial run, has become 2 chapters. The second one is actually something readers had asked about; It's a scene that was initially referenced by Cadence in hindsight, but not written out, so it didn't veer away from the original story at all-I want that part clear. If it wasn't something I'd planned, myself, or that technically happened, anyway, I wouldn't have written it. I don't want to be thought of as an author who caves to her readers, 'cause, let's if a writer becomes a puppet for their readers, they serve no real purpose. That's when you might as well just shift gears and become a ghost writer, ya know?

Alright, that bit of griping is not why I started this post today, lol. Um, as previously announced, March 18th (just 6 days away, O-M-G, SIX DAYS *falls over*) Buried will be released in digital format, followed shortly (within about a week?) by release of print copies. In prep for that day, some very wonderful ladies have offered to host me on their blogs.

This is where I've been hosted thus far:


3/7 My Road to Publication (via Courtney Worth Young on the Curiosity Quills Press site)




And later today, I'll be stopping by with Susie Levine to share a paranormal experience I used as the basis for an account in Buried.

Dates booked for the rest of the month are as follows: 

3/13 Katie Teller's Stories (feels silly to put 'with Katie Teller' as her name is <-- right there XD)
3/14 Jamie Ayres (again, silly to say 'with Jamie', 'cause, well you get it)
3/18 Book a la Mode (With Karielle Stephanie) & DIGITAL RELEASE DATE FOR BURIED
3/19 This Will All Seem Silly Someday (with the delightful Courtney Worth Young)
 3/20 Aja Hannah (Blog Tour Swap- she'll be here on the 20th, and I'll be there XD)

Friday Flip-Out: 50 Shades of WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

I want to preface this with 2 points. (1) I am not trying to hate on E.L. James- she had an idea, she went with it and it worked . . . quite likely much better than she'd ever thought it would, good on her. (2) I don't say things to pick fights, set people off, or otherwise 'troll'. I simply say what's on my mind- everyone is entitled to their opinion, and this is mine.  I will not begrudge a fan their love of the 50 Shades trilogy, in return, I expect not to have fans begrudge me my dislike of it.  Simply put, if you don't like what I have to say, then don't read it. The best way to do this is to simply graft in here blurbs from an email exchange I've got going on with a writer friend, in which I laid out a lot of what it was that bothered me in my attempt to read 50 Shades of Grey. Now let me just say- some of this comes across as angry, it's 'cause I was venting mid-reading-attempt.  I couldn't make it past about chapter 7.  If you'...

A Note About Social Anxiety

Recently, I thought I'd been making strides, but then something happened that made me realize I hadn't come nearly as far as I'd believed. I received a very nice message from a book group, asking me if I'd like to add my book to their list, which was fine, but then the woman went on to talk about a possible opportunity to organize and lead book discussions. And I froze . That was it, that was all that happened. I thought about talking to a group of people and my heart was in my throat, my stomach twisted up in the most gods awful knot, and I had to remind myself to breathe. Social anxiety is not just shyness, it's not "oh, you're just introverted, lots of people are." I've spent my life with people telling me to get over it, or that it's in my head, it's not a real thing . In fact, when I didn't know what it was called, I used to try to explain it away as shyness, myself, but my friends (the people who really knew me) didn't ...

Friday Flip Out: Twilight & the Kristen Stewart Fiasco

I'm going to get this out of the way now. The things I say when I 'flip out' are not intended to piss off others, stir up reaction or pick fights. For this reason, my 'complaints' may seem a little rambling, because I don't merely rant and vent, I tend to preface things by explaining where I'm coming from on the issue. And, on occasion, a single sentence is too simple for defining my feelings about something. Now, to the topic at hand #1: Twilight . This may come as a shock to those that have read me ranting on FB about this, but I don't hate Twilight .  Now, I'm not a fan of it, either.  I don't like it, that's all there is to it.  I read it, and not with the fixed notion in my head of "Gods, I'm going to hate this."  Quite the opposite; I cracked open the book with the belief that I was probably going to end up loving it in spite of myself. I simply hadn't enjoyed it. So, again, I do not hate Twilight , I do not hate S...
