Rewites

If you haven’t noticed I kind of been failing a blogging lately. I’m just super busy and just don’t have time. My bad.

Anyway, I am here to talk about rewritings. I wrote a novel a few years ago and my attempts to get it published epically failed. So I did what every author/agent/anybody who wrote about publishing said in a blog. I stopped. I left the file untouched on my computer for months. I didn’t query, I didn’t read it and I didn’t even think about it. On Wednesday I went back and started rewriting it. I put new ideas in places where the plot dragged. I added witty dialogue and decided to give one of the subplots a facelift. When I’m done I’m going to comb through it, yet again for months. Maybe this time things will go better.

Oh and for chocolate. I’m selling chocolate for school. You’d think it would be easy. It’s not.

Happy Reading!

Reading while traveling

I recently got back from a long trip to Disney World over spring break. I packed a book with me hoping to get some reading time while on the motor coach. Unfortunately I was distracted by all of my friends, and the movies and the stops every three hours. I can honestly tell you that I only read one page of that book. It’s sad to be an avid reader and not have time to read.


On the way back I was a little better. I bought a book. Yes I went to Disney World and bought a book. I wanted to buy The Kingdom Keepers Ridley Pearson, but Disney didn’t have the first one. (I placed a hold on it at the library today though).

What I did buy was Fairest of All: A tale of the Wicked Queen by Serena Valentino. The title explains it all really.

I read about forty pages on the way back. I could have read more but, I was in and out of sleep the whole time. Well that's traveling for you. So what do you do on a long trip? Post a comment below.

Finding Time to Write Part 1

I don't.

Having time to read.

I honestly have the hardest time trying to find time to read. I have school, play rehearsal, work and life. How can I possible have time to read? Take this weekend for example when I was trying to read Albatross by Josie Bloss (great book by the way). I started Saturday morning and I got really into it. Unfortunately I had to do chores. Then the power went out before I started. So I read more. Afterwards I had to go to work. By the time I got home the power was still out and it was too dark to read. Sunday I read some more, I was so close to being finished I had to lock myself in my room before work. I finished.


This morning I recorded the book on my list of books read in 2010. It was book #16!!! Really? By this time last year I was on book #30!!! The thing is I have not had much time to read this year. Why you may ask? I HAVE NO IDEA!!! It’s not work because I don’t work much and it’s not play rehearsal or school because I had that last year and that didn’t stop me from reading 100 books!!!

The point it I have to make time to read. I guess it’s the Senioritis. So what did the doctor prescribe? A good book and a chocolate bar. I hope that will cure me.


Happy Reading!

Leslie's Choice: Chocolate Ice Creams

I LOVE ICE CREAM!!!
I have three favorite flavors.

3. Cookies and Cream: I love the little cookie peices  they are soft and it's like they are pre-dunked in milk. But it's ice cream.

2. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: It gives me a chance to eat cookie dough. Come on who doesn't love love to eat cookie dough?

1. Mint Chip: I use to hate it because it was green, but now I love it. It's all I ask for whenever we buy ice cream.

So those are my ice cream choices. What is your favorite ice cream?
