NANOWRIMO 2015!!

Hey everybody!! It's my favorite time of year again! While the ghouls, goblins, and princesses wander through the streets, awake are the writers waiting to scream. At midnight starts the annual Nanowrimo competition!! Starting at midnight all of the writers all over the world begin writing their 50,000 words for the [Inter]National Novel Writing Month! So excited! I'm hoping to finish book three this month! If you're not participating, wish us all luck!!

Happy Halloween one and all!!

Mind Blown

Just realized that a novel is like an essay. I haven't ever seen this before.

Intro for an essay is equivalent to the character formation of the story.
"3 paragraph body " is the "3 main trials "
The conclusion or " why ", is just the " pull it all together in the story.

Don't judge me, I'm slow. ;p

While I'm posting,  thanks for all the support I've received and all the people who have spread my name.

Words from a friend

A good friend of mine just sent me these words out wisdom:

"A book can change, be rewritten, and even deteriorate. You can read it again and again with different meaning each time. A story contains the same book repeatedly, but can be seen from any angle, also changing it's meaning based on what you want it to be. The writer's intention is the only thing you can rely on for it never changes. Meaning, no matter how you rewrite the book, or interpret the story, the author writes for the same goal, no matter how bad, or changed, or old the book has become." - Robert Gordon

Hey guys!!

Super terrible at my blog. That'll be my next goal:  get better at the blog. If you ever have questions, Facebook is always updated.

In two days, I've written  11,581 words in my book. That is 17 single spaced pages. At the end of the first draft I had 68,412 words 120 pages. Right now I'm about 80% done and have 84,086 words and 139 pages. I love all of the changes and all of the additions I've made. My favorite part is learning more about my characters.

I feel like this is an accurate description of me.

Revealing the Unknown

So, it's been 11 days since book two has been published. Woohoo! My mom's copy came yesterday and it made me super happy to see the picture on the cover. Spread the word ! Both books are available on Amazon. Thanks for all your support !

Facebook

Hey everybody! As of last night, we're live on Facebook!  Check us out! Just look up Rose Winters- author.

Thanks !

Problems

Alright, I'll start out with the good news. Revealing the Unknown will be coming out this April. It's all ready.

Now the bad news. I need help. Should I restart book three, or just continue what I have??  This is a very hard decision for me. Help ?

Been a While

Hey everybody !! It's been quite a while since I've posted. Lots has happened and I'm still writing ! The sequel to Beyond the Unknown should be being published in April. ( see above for more info ) I'm still working on My World of Glass and I really love it!! Thanks for all your support!

Temporary Poll

Hey everybody! So in light of getting my second book published and working on editing another one of my books, I've been wondering: What makes a good cover? I've never really read books by the covers so I don't know what people are looking for. So I have created a general poll that you can just take a look at right before you leave. It'll be open until my birthday and then I'll close it.


****If you would please, PLEASE, email me and explain your "other" choice that would be great! You can contact me on the right hand side of your screen and the poll is on your left. Thank you so much for your participation!

LABOR DAY SALE!

So, I wanted to give a holiday discount, and I wanted it to apply towards Amazon, but right now I can't. In the process of trying the Amazon, however, Here is the code for $1.50 off of Beyond the Unknown for this weekend:

Just put this into your promo code slot when purchasing my book off of CreateSpace eStore. Thanks everybody!

Publicizing!

So we've finally been able to order posters for my book! The problem is, they're not extremely incredible. Just very simple. And on top of that, I still don't have many people interested in my books. I have had somewhere around 886 views to this site but less than 15 copies of my book. That worries me a lot because I don't know how else to make my book public other than word of mouth. Please share your experience with my website, and if you've read my book then that as well.

Thanks for everything everybody!

Jim Brickman In The Spotlight

Hey guys, this is Kyle Woodruff and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here. I owe so much to him and he's trying to get the chance to sing with Jim Brickman who is a singer he really likes. If he wins this competition, Kyle gets to sing at a Christmas concert with Jim and I was hoping you could all lend your support to him and check out his video. :) He helped me get published, now I am going to do my best to help him get on stage. Thanks guys! Love you all!

An Assembly??

Hey everybody. So I have been asked to do an assembly at an elementary school come October time (Thanks mom. You could have NOT bragged to your boss about me being published.) and I have no idea what to do. I think I want to have a PowerPoint presentation about how to outline a story. The principal and reading specialist at the school want me to get the upper grades excited to do the Youth Nanowrimo program that they're going to be doing. So I was going to give them tips on how to get their story going. I was also going to give out outlining packets as "rewards" instead of a signed copy of my book unlike most authors. My book is not a book for 4-6th graders.

I need your advice and help, everybody. Are there any frequently asked questions that need answering? Or whole "How the heck do you do this" things? I just need advice on how to TALK to small children. I'm at a total loss. Help!!
