Week in Review
Week in Review
Words Written: Only about 3,000 this week. Realized I have a lot of things to fix having to do with my website and email list. Just logistical things, but I've been prioritizing them this week.
Books Read: Finished The Charge, but still working on American Gods. In good shape for my reading goals.
Short Story: Yeah, not much progress there. Unfortunately. ;D

This week's question: What Movie from Book coming out in 2017 are you most excited about?
I think I'm gonna have to go with Stephen King on this one. A new adaptation of IT will be out this year, as well as a film based on book 1 of The Dark Tower. I genuinely hope they do a good job on both and am excited for both.
IT is an amazing book. Even if King's genre isn't your favorite, he's a masterful story teller and IT is the quintessential example of his work. They did a TV mini series in the '80s. I'm sure it was fine for that era but watching it now is just lame. I hope they do the book justice this year.
I haven't read The Gunslinger in years, but it's a very abstract book. With Matthew McConaughy and Idris Elba set to star...yeah, I'm super excited. Might have to re-read it before seeing the film, tho.
Just to change directions, I'm also excited for the next Chronicles of Narnia film: The Silver Chair. One of my favorite Chronicles. Just sayin'. ;D

Friday Funnies + Week in Review
Week in Review
Words Written: 7,512. So obviously better than last week, but honestly still a bit under where I'd like to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with that word count, but I'd like to average at least 2,000 words per day for at least 5 days a week. So I'd like to be more in the 10-12,000 words per week range. But I'm getting there. Working up to it, I suppose. :D
Books Read: Still reading Neil Gaimon's American Gods and Brandon Burchard's The Charge. Haven't finished either, but moving along nicely in both.
Short Story: Ugh. I brainstormed ideas. That's it. I suppose if I can pick one and build on it I might get an outline done this week. Wish me luck!

Friday Funnies + Week in Review
Good morning and Happy Friday! Welcome to Friday Funnies and my Week in Review.
Friday Funnies is something I've done for a while (when I actually get around to it). I just post humorous things I find around the internet to give everyone a good laugh. I'll also start my Week in Review today. It's mostly to keep me accountable to my goals and New Years Resolutions. I'll be just giving numbers, mostly. How many words I've written this week, how I'm doing on my reading, etc. And maybe say a word or two about my writing week.
Welcome to Friday Funnies! Because everyone needs a good laugh on Friday.
Since I went and saw Rogue One about a week ago, and LOVED it, I thought I'd go with some fun Star Wars humor today:

Week in Review
(Whoops! Forgot to update this last night. Fixing now. See, still getting into the grove. ;D)
Words Written: 5,000-ish. I hope to get more done that that most weeks, but I spent a good deal of time planning and outlining in Scrivner. For a first week, I'm happy with that number.
Books Read: Currently reading Neil Gaimon's American Gods and Brandon Burchard's The Charge. The charge is inspirational and I'm liking it a lot. I've never read Gaimon before and I'm finding American Gods somewhat bizarre, but I'm not thinking of putting it down. Interested to see where it goes.
Short Story: Haven't even started this month's short story yet. Gonna make it a priority first thing next week. ;D
How did you do on your writing goals this week?

Book Release Dates, Follow Friday, and Friday Funnies!!!
Announcements:
1. Bastions of Blood, Book 2 of Kremlins will be released August 16, 2016. That's only 2 weeks away. Yeah! I will be holding an online Launch Party. Visit THIS LINK for more info or if you're interested in attending. There will be prizes including free ebooks, signed print books, and gift cards.
2. Desolate Mantle, Book 2 of Street Games, will be released September 13, 2016. I will be holding an online launch party for that one too. Details forthcoming.
Follow Friday:
The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it'll allow us to show off more new blogs!
How does this work? First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools -- keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you!
What are your favorite podcasts, bookish and non-bookish?
Oh dear. I'm afraid I have a very boring answer for this question: none. I don't usually listen to podcasts. I wish I did as I constantly come across dozens that sound fascinating, but I'm far too busy to spare the time and I currently don't spend enough time in the car or in other places that lend themselves to audio entertainment, so I rarely if ever indulge in such thing. Wish I had a more entertaining answer this week. :D

Welcome to Friday Funnies! Because everyone needs a good laugh on Friday.
This is by far the funniest thing I found this week:
It's a TERRIBLE pickup line. Please don't use it on anyone--man, woman, animal... but I did laugh for about ten minutes, and still chuckle whenever it randomly pops into my head.
Happy Friday, Everyone! Hope you all have a fun and safe weekend!

What is your favorite character archetype(s)?
I have to pick a favorite, huh? I have an entire Pinterest board called Character Archetypes full of pictures of great potential characters. How about I name one from each of the genres I write?
2) Historical: the only one I can think of here is my main character in Citadels of Fire. She's a main in the Kremlin palace and is definitely the mousy type. Not the strongest of female characters. Of course there's Ivan, who is an evil dictator, but he is anything but typical, and then I'm not sure real historical figures count as tropes.
3) Dystopian: I do have a wise, mentor type in Interchron. He's a white-haired man--yes, even called Doc...
...no, not that Doc. He's calm and wise, not at all erratic. But I like this trope because you can create mystery based on what this character knows or figures out that others haven't. You also have a well of knowledge, which can be convenient when dealing with a dystopian world you have to communicate to your readers.
What's YOUR favorite character archetype?

P.S. I completely forgot that I was spotlighted on Author R.K. Grow's website yesterday. It's for the above-mentioned giveaway. She's spotlighting all the authors who are giving away books and she featured me yesterday. It totally slipped my mind until she tagged me on Facebook yesterday afternoon. So head over to this link for the feature, and be sure to enter the giveaway if you haven't yet. There are tons of great books being given away! Happy Friday!

Friday Funnies
Sorry this is all I've gotten up the past couple of weeks, guys. I woke up not long ago to a completely dead computer, and I've only been able to commandeer my brother's on occasion, which makes it hard to post regularly. But hopefully the problem will be remedied by the end of the month. :D
