City of Bones MOVIE casting UPDATE
JACE WAYLAND has been cast! :D Ok, so it isn't Alex Pettyfer, although he was in the running for a long time. But having JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER play the gorgeous, snarky, broody, Shadowhunter isn't as bad as I once thought. In fact, watching him in Camelot is giving me the chance to warm up to his acting skills (because, lets face it, playing Caius ( Read more... ) -
IT'S DONE!!!
Well, kind of. ^_^; I finished the first draft of BOOK ONE in my trilogy "GIFTED" on March 30th, 2011. That was exactly 5 months since I started writing it during NaNo last November. I suppose you could say it took 7 months, though, since I started working on the outline for it in September 2010.
So stats, for those who are interested:
Page Count: ( Read more... ) -
Keep on writing, keep on writing, writing, writing, keep on writing....
Just a small update to say that I'm still alive and still working hard on "Gifted". I've passed 75k and am amazed at the feat! ^__^ Possibly 10k or less until the end of book one. We shall see....
P.S. Still waiting on everyone else aside form "Clary" to be cast in the City of Bones movie. Hope they give us an update soon! -
City of Bones MOVIE: Official Casting has begun!!
It's finally happening! CLARY has been cast. ^_^
I'm reasonably impressed with the actress they chose to play her: Lily Collins. Not my ideal "Clary" but then, nothing will ever live up to how I imagined the characters in my head. But I can see her as Clary. She has a fresh face, and looks like she can play both 'innocent' and 'fiesty'. I just hope ( Read more... ) -
NaNoWriMo 2010 - Gifted Book One: The Gathering!
I actually did it! I can't believe it! For all those years that I've posted on my lj about doing NaNo, this is the year that I actually passed the 50k word mark....and am still going!
My novel is maybe 80% completed at this moment. This year I outlined for all of September and October and of my 30 pages of notes I'm only on page 9. In my novel ( Read more... ) -

In order to help me survive what is sure to be a several year wait for the first movie (I wouldn't expect anything sooner then late 2012 at the ( Read more... ) -
Fun with Facebook - Ode to the Candy Dish
It's late, nearly 2AM in fact, and the reason I'm still awake is that I was putting the finishing touches on my Art History essay on Van Gogh's Starry Night. I decided to cruise facebook briefly before going to bed and saw a conversation from a friend of mine which just cracked me up! Of course, this may be due to the fact that it's 2AM and aside ( Read more... ) -
Diary of an Adult Figure Skater: Part 1
Back in October 2009 I was watching the movie "Ice Princess" (2004, Michelle Trachtenberg) and as I was watching the magic of Disney transform a teenage girl into a fabulous skater in a few months, starting with her taking lessons with the 8 year old girls, I had a thought.
Why couldn't that be me?
Not that I could be transformed into a fabulous ( Read more... ) -
