Write for your own pleasure

A full time career writing is quite hard for me to imagine esp since i can't even think up stories that fast. There might be some who enjoys writing so much that they want to make a career of it. Voila, there you have all the famous authors. hhehe i really have to hand it to them to be able to think up of such excellent stories.

But while you enjoy writing when you have inspirations, when you don't have them, it'll be a drudgery. I can personally vouch for that ehehehe there are so many incomplete stories, or should i say, paragraphs??? they're not even one chapter. it's just the starting that i wrote and i left it hanging. but i didn't know how to continue after that. sigh

like now, there are many books that i've already read, but i'm just too lazy to write and nothing's forming in my head right now. i'm returning those books tomorrow, so it'll just be read but not written about. such a pity as they're all good books. if anyone has any tips they can share for this writer's block or can make writing interesting, then i'd definitely be interested.

Dark of the Moon by Susan Krinard

Dark of the Moon   [DARK OF MOON] [Mass Market Paperbound]

I just finished reading this book which is about vampires and as i was in the mood, i immediately came online to rave about it. it's a fiction novel though and i thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Dorian Black was known as an enforcer, who once kept warring vampire clans from one another's throats. But now outcast from his own kind, he hangs around back alleys of the city alone until the night that he saves Gwen Murphy, a reporter. Gwen will do anything to uncover the truth behind the articles her father was working on before he died-a mysterious cult of blood drinkers. Unaware of Dorian's involvement, she offers him kindness and friendship, which he tries to refuse. but to protect her, Dorian will soon be forced to do the unthinkable...

ok i admit that this summary or almost all my summaries is usually from the book itself. but hey, at least you know the story roughly as written on the real thing. well, this story is more angtsy that those i've read before. of course, they have their fair share of angst, but this somehow got to me. i think this is the first book i've read from susan krinard, or if i have before, then i've forgotten.

Their feelings are protrayed across really well. we know what they feel and this makes us root for them. makes us anxious and frustrated as to when they're finally going to acknowledge the feelings they have for each other. hmm... i guess this genre would go to fantasy wouldn't it? oh well, i hope you guys enjoy this book like i have.

Dark Of The Moon

High Noon by Nora Roberts

I finished this book in record time, for me personally anyway. i finished a book that had nearly 500 pages in one day0_0 hard to imagine isn't it. even i thought that i wouldn't be able to, but i was lucky that my hubby was not at home for that time. that meant i got to read a book the whole day. hehehe
When i read that there was a hostage negotiator for our heroine, i was already in love. a tough lady, but it also meant that whoever was lucky enough to fall for her, would have a lot of sweating to do hehehe and in this case, that would be duncan swift, our millionaire businessman. but this is just a vague description of him. read the book and try and figure out more of these two main people. our negotiator was not ready for a relationship, but our businessman had other ideas. and the story goes on and on. but i won't spoil it much. just know that there's tons of suspense, humor and really sweet and romantic moments that make you go "awww."
the sentence that was just described earlier is mainly the reason why i would recommend you the book. there are really hilarious moments and then there are moments when you sober up. for me, as i was able to read the book without much disruptions(except for my kids which is a lot-_-) i was really engrossed with it and so my heart was beating hard at danger, beating erraticially at steamy moments:P and swooning at sweet moments. there were other feelings too of course, but well, the characters were really built up well. the plot was amazing, it was totally unexpected, from what i usually read anyway. basically i enjoyed myself.
well i have actually read tons of books, just that i've been too lazy to write about it, so don't mind me. most have already been returned to the library. i wrote about this just because i just finished it right now and the story was fresh in my mind. anyway hope you all enjoy it.

Falling Awake by Jayne Ann Krentz

I read this book twice now. Not a lot of times i know but the synopsis was interesting so i borrowed it...again. i did get an inkling that i had read it before, but after reading a few pages, i confirmed it. but oh well, i still enjoyed it.
Isabel Wright is a dream interpreter who never has a lack for suitors. but she pines for her mysterious client number 2 whom she's never met or also given the nickname by her her 'dream man'. Ellis Cutler, aka, client number 2 suddenly materialises one day when she's down and from then on, her life changes.
This is one of those books that i won't get tired of despite re reading it many times, of course provided that it's after a long gap. the adjectives; descriptive words; used i don't have to mention how amazing they are. in fact, all the books that i've read are amazing. they certainly boost my vocabulary power. hehe
Also, it's a really suspense filled book with lots of twists. i'm sure many will enjoy. Hope you people enjoy like i did.

Dark Victory by Brenda Joyce

Well here i am finally with another of the books that i like. it's a little different than what i'm used to reading. there is a fantasy genre too which i seldom read in my books, for the reason that i can't seem to find any of course. i do read and enjoy fantasy so long as there is romance and this book has it.

Macleod's life is about revenge and vengeance. Tabitha's life is about protecting others. When a vision of a dark, bloody and burned highlander appears to her, she knows she has to help him and summons him. But what she doesn't expect is to be taken against her will to her violent time. and there, she must learn to fight for more than just his destiny. she must fight for her love.

When i said that Macleod's life was about vengeance, i really meant that. he's so revengeful that he'd even defy the gods and not listen to them even though he is related. hehe but what i really loved was how well the author described. into the first page and already, i could feel macleod's feelings. got my heart thumping for a while there, really felt for him then. it's because these novels that i read are so well written and described that i am addicted to them. oh yea i am addicted. anyway hope you enjoy reading, my babe is calling for attention now so sayonara

i'm back

well, i said that i'd be taking a break for like a year but that turned out to be 2 years huh ehehe. couldn't help it. also, i wasn't able to read many storybooks at all, but now slowly, when i'm not feeling lazy and up to it, i'll be writing here again of the books that i read and liked. ciao for now since i'm feeling lazy again ehehe.

Taking a Break

well after being gone for so long, i've come back to just inform those who do see this, (very few hehe) that i'm taking a break as i've just given birth to a little daughter. might be a year or so as i won't have time to go to the library. this is my last review for now.
the book is entitled 'Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, children are from Heaven.' i haven't finished the book yet but from what i have read so far, it is definitely helpful to parents. i found the author's points and views correct and am loving it so far. it's by John Gray. i'm sure most of you should know. he's the author of men are from mars, women are from venus. there are some others too by him. well have a good read.
i'm also planning on making another blog geared towards manga and anime reviews that i have already read. it will be more of my own opinion and reviews that's all so for those interested in knowing how the manga or anime is, you're welcome to drop by once i have it up. good day to all.
