101/1001 - #78 - Complete a Photo Challenge - WIP!
in order to cross this one off the list, i'm participating in fat mum slim's photo a day challenge. i've even managed to get all but one of this month's prompted pics posted (say that 5 times fast) on their assigned days.
i'm still debating on whether i'll post all my photos here, particularly because one of them from this month includes two of my friends' kids, and i don't want to put their adorable faces on the internet without parental consent.
however, for posterity's sake, i'm going to make a list here, and cross off each month as i complete it. :)

A Few Words on Self-Publishing
this has been something that folks have broached with me a handful of times here recently, because i've been pretty vocal about the fact that i have (finally, praise little sweet baby jesus) finished the edits and revisions for my manuscript. a couple people seem to think that i'm willing to contact amazon digital publishing or one of the other ePub companies at this point, and while i don't want to appear dismissive...
i don't.
like, not even a smidge.
i have no interest in pursuing that, and while i have a whole litany of reasons why, i thought i'd address the major hitters here. before i do this, though, i must repeat: these are my opinions. if you don't agree, that's fine. move along, then.
first and foremost: i believe in the traditional route to publishing. for those of you who may not actually know what this entails - because really, why would you, unless you are involved in said industry? - here's a quick and dirty version:
i believe in this route to publishing for a million reasons, but one of the top ones is the sheer quality of work that tends to come out of this method. yes, you'll have some clunkers. but if you compare/contrast the quality between a traditionally published work and a large portion of self-published novels, you will see a distinct difference in quality, both with regard to writing, but also to marketing, and editing.
CAVEAT: of course there are some self-published/ePublished works that are of impeccable quality (an excellent example of this is Hugh Howey's WOOL series, which was originally published via amazon). unfortunately, this is not the norm.
second, an author is far less likely to receive a truly lucrative deal via self-publishing than traditional. there are a long list of reasons why this is the case, but primarily, this is because all of the big publishers - think harper, simon & schuster, penguin, scholastic - will not read your work unless an agent is involved. why? plain and simply: quality. so, you see, this is a rather circular discussion, eh?
third, generally speaking, self-publishing and then trying to attain the representation of an agent is rather difficult, for reasons that have to do with royalties/intellectual property/contract law/etc etc. translation: red tape ahoy. no, thank you.
now, if you asked me if i would CONSIDER self-publishing at any point, i would tell you that the answer is yes. but that would not really be an option for me unless i felt that i had exhausted all other resources, and to be frank, at this point, i am confident in my ability to attain the representation of an agent, which is a good chunk of the battle.
anyway, i just wanted to talk briefly (or, not so briefly, as it were) about this, because i do have strong feelings on the topic, and this is, after all, my little corner of the internet. ;)
happy sunday, all.
i don't.

- have completed/edited manuscript in your possession
- query (this is the process of contacting literary agents for representation)
- sign with agent; work on manuscript more
- agent acts as liaison for you with publishers
- secure publishing deal

Soundtrack Things
a bit ago, my husband asked me a pretty cool question:
realistically, i didn't have to think too long for any of these tracks, because i write to a soundtrack, always. i thought i'd share them, in case anyone is interested. all of these songs create a real feel for either the story as a whole, or for a specific scene. pardon me as i nerd the f out, guys. for real.
in no particular order:
Bjork, "Army of Me"
(this was the most played track while i was writing the initial draft of this manuscript.)
Civil Twilight, "Letters from the Sky"
"once you're published... if someone wanted to make your book into a movie, and you had a say in what ended up on the film soundtrack, what are 8 songs you'd want on it?"

in no particular order:

(this was the most played track while i was writing the initial draft of this manuscript.)
Flyleaf, "Fully Alive"
Frou Frou, "Let Go"
Radiohead, "How to Disappear Completely"
(radiohead comprises the majority of my writing playlist for this novel.)
Massive Attack, "Butterfly Caught"
(massive attack is also a large portion of this playlist.)
Incubus, "Dig"
Death Cab for Cutie, "You Are a Tourist"
what do you think? for those of you who know me, are you surprised? for those of you who have read this manuscript, can you "see" the story a bit better when you consider this soundtrack?

Stuff to Get Done
i'm not even going to lie - the purpose of this blog entry is solely accountability for me. there are a handful of things i need to get done, things that continue to be put off for one reason or another, and i have to stop doing that. i figure if i post about it here, someone (if there is anyone) who reads this in my real life will prod me, which will give me the extra oomph of motivation to get these things done.
so, here they are, in no particular order:
1) finish the edits of my novel. i'm currently on page 93 of about 360, and after this pass through, i still have to give it a final read through. i have to do this in order to query, because i refuse to query something that is lacking in quality. the end. due date: 1/24 -update 1/21 - on page 240/370 update 1/22 - on page 282/375 - LESS THAN 100 pages left! DONE! 1/24/13 - 9:20ish PM
2) buy B a new bed and new bedding. she's simply too tall for the one we have, but with the move and then the holidays, as well as K not having an income quite yet, other things took priority. due date: 3/1
3) buy a new belt. this sounds so stupid, i know, but i no longer have one that is small enough to actually help when jeans are too loose. and it's been this way since like ... october. yeah. i suck at buying things for myself. due date: 3/1
4)purchase notebook for v-day project. details must be kept on the hush. ;) due date: ASAP done 1/16/13
4a)actually complete v-day project. due date: 1/31 - done - 1/17/13
so, if you know me, and you see me in real life over the next handful of months, kick me in the shins if i haven't started these things.
hope everyone had a great weekend! i know we did. :)

The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh (rec'd by Beth) - read 6/14/13
Feed by Mira Grant (rec'd by Anna)
in these 20 books, many genres are represented - historical romance, supernatural, realistic fiction, steampunk, and even a short story collection and some erotica (which i don't generally read much of). there's a good amount of YA, but also a good amount of non-YA, and even some non-fiction and a bit of satire, and one book by the author of my all time favorite short story. (also: zombies. wheeee!) basically? my friends are awesome.
all in all, i think this makes for a really great selection, and i'm super excited to get started on the list. (side note: a handful of these are already on my shelves, either literally here in my living room, or on my tbr list on goodreads, which is pretty cool.)
have you read any of these books? do you want to?
oh, PS: i'm about to be in a book club again, and i'm insanely excited about that, too. :)
Ask 20 friends to suggest one book, and read them all

101/1001 - #4: Done!
for more info on this, you can click here or you can use the link to the right, explaining my 101/1001 list. :)
#4: Write a letter to myself to be opened when the 1001 days is over
this was an easy peasy one for me. i used dear future me, and sent an email to myself that will not be delivered until september 27th, 2015, which is the final day of my 1001 day challenge.
i won't talk at length about what i said, of course, because the goal, for me at least, is to sort of forget i sent it so that when it arrives, i am totally surprised. for the record, i used dear future me before, about a year ago, and sent a letter dated six months out, and it was so cool to open it and really be able to see where my head was at a given moment.
here's to knocking one thing off the good ole list, eh? :)
would you ever write yourself a letter like this?

Goal Making and Such
hey hey hey! happy new year!
i had a fabulous holiday season, and i'm pretty damn sad to say that christmas/etc is over, but with the end of the holidays comes a brand new year, and i decided that, instead of making a random list of goals to accomplish in 2013, i'd make a different sort of list.
i've made a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days -i'm using Day Zero Project to keep track of it. :)
yes, that is roughly three years, and i've made sure to make all of my goals things that are measurable. some are absolutely free of charge, and others will cost a pretty penny, but all of them are things that i really want to accomplish in the near future. some will technically be repeats for me, some will seem meaningless to anyone else, but i'm absolutely excited about all of them.
i plan to blog about these things as i pursue them, but here's the list, for posterity's sake:
4. Write a letter to myself to be opened when the 1001 days is over - done - 1/2/2013
