Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, I think I will have to not finish this year’s #NaNoWriMo as I have had cascading failures most of the month.  Between work, being sick for better part of 2 weeks, and more work; I’m not going to complete my story. 🙁

Makes me sad.  

I had such high hopes.  Well, I will be hosted on another author’s blog, Tiramisu and she here, sometime next month and will talk about trials and tribulations for a first-time NaNoWriMo writer.  Dates and topics to be confirmed once I confirm with the author.  Keep your eyes pealed and I will post when it will happen.

On that note, there has not been a lot of comments except for links to other blogs.  I will have to rerun the contest at a later date.  Maybe when I get Space Love finished.  🙂  Thanks for those that have followed and I hope you keep following.  I plan to post a free writing sometime soon as soon as I get my act together.  Full time employment and writing are not best friends.

And for the news portions of this post, I have purchased my own domain: eloreenmoon.com.  Now, the technical fun of linking everything and getting the domain hosted.  Luckily, I have a domain host.  I just need to get it setup there.  Soon, hopefully before the end of the year, I will have this blog attached to blog. eloreenmoon.com.  Be on the lookout for announcements.

I thought a picture would be good today.  The picture is from a business trip in June 2013 to New York City, NY.

NaNoWriMo Day 4

I did a few more words since Friday, but not a lot.  Weekends are hard with family and other things having to do then.  Add to that my iPad is still doing odd things, and I’m getting slightly overwhelmed.  I have work stuff to do. I have reviews to do.  And all of this in the next couple of days. *bangs head on desk*

 

So, what does any good aspiring author do?  Procrastinate.  :0

 

NaNoWriMo 2013

 

Yeah, I’m doomed.  Now, to beat my iPad into submission so maybe I can write some more…

3. #NaNoWriMo profile filled out and running, mostly.  Still learning the lay of the land.

Sat down to home-made chili, a Mike’s hard lemonade (strawberry), and will finish beta reading a story tonight.  I hope.

I’ve noodled a couple of my stories off and on over the last month or so in between working full-time.  And now I start to see #nanowrimo preparation starting for some of my G+ friends.  Holy crap! When did November get here?

It’s a bittersweet time for me as I started writing almost a year ago.  So I wondered, what should I do to launch a year of writing?  On November 9th, 2012, I started writing a single story that had clamored in my head previously, and with the encouragement of other authors.  I now have that same story with several chapters, two short stories that are almost complete, and a few more that I have started notes on.  I would like to finish a novel, or several shorter stories, as a salute to persevering despite a layoff, teenagers, a new job, and getting older.  We will not discuss my age.  Consider me 29. 🙂

I would like to celebrate my year of writing by giving away a copy of the story, or stories, I finish next month and when it publishes (not if, when) and a $10 gift card to your favorite online eBook store (All Romance eBooks, Totally Bound [formerly Total-E-Bound], Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Bookstrand) to buy your next book.  I plan to update my progress on here Facebook, Google+, and Twitter.  I like talking to new people and hopefully, this will get me off the ground and running to finally get off my duff and get published.  Whether it will be with a publishing house, or I publish on my own, I don’t know.  But, that is the fun as I now have a goal.  My writings, so far, are in MM science fiction, fantasy, and paranormal romance genres.  Others might be in menage, contemporary and probably will expand to GBLT.  The sky is the limit.  So, if you like those, leave a comment here and at the end of November, I will randomly pick with an online random number generator.  Make sure to leave your email address so I can contact you for your $10 GC and send you the final version of the story that I finish in November.  Be aware that my story may be awhile since I’m sure there will be several rounds of edits to finish, random distractions, and finding a way to publish it.  You have my permission to repost this contest and/or otherwise spread across the internet.  The more the merrier.  Please make sure to link to this specific post so that all comments can be counted.  I’m only going to count the ones made here.  🙂

Thank you for “listening” to me ramble and come help me celebrate.  Teasers to follow!

Ok. Started working on my royal fantasy short story again. Got a title: Elf Magic. And now need a name for the kingdoms: elf and human. Go for it.  Puns allowed. 🙂  Considering one of the MC is King Sire and the King of elves is named Elvan (for now), I think puns are encouraged.  🙂

Now, I posted this a couple of days ago on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.  I got one response.  *sigh*

Maybe I’ll get a couple more….

…And so, it begins

Hello all,

 

My name is Eloreen Moon and I am starting this blog with the intention of writing my own stories and novels of love, romance, and erotica.  Come join me on my journey to be inspired, learn, and grow in this new endeavor that I’ve embarked.  Welcome all those that enjoy alternate lifestyles, romance, science fiction, fantasy, and maybe even mystery.  I feel I need to write and so I begin here.

 

Thanks for letting me ramble a bit and things will fill out at I set them up.  Soon, an excerpt of a story I’m writing.  What do you think?
