It's here! WIP: The Movie!






I can't even tell you have excited I have been about this! It's early, so I have only got round to a few entries so far, but I am having a blast reading them all! Thanks to all who have participated, and of course, to my awesome co-host, Rachel!

It's time for me to introduce you to the characters from my - as yet untitled - WIP. When I first started this blog, my WIP was different, so this might confuse some of you (sorry about that!).


This is Leah Walker, my MC. Technically, she is a little young, but she looks perfect! Leah is a physiotherapist for an American soccer team, but she is actually an English girl with a, let's say, colourful past.

Radleigh McCoy is the ridiculously good-looking, not to mention exceptionally arrogant soccer player who challenges Leah in every way possible.

 This is Freya Phillips. Freya is Leah's best friend and roommate. She works as a coach for the soccer team, and she is both very kind, and totally wild!

This is Will Carter, another of the team coaches. Will has a very obvious thing for Freya, but ... unfortunately, his brain doesn't realise it for a very long time lol!
Bree Collinson. Bree is the wife of one of the soccer players, and another of Leah's close friends. She is sexy and ditzy, but there is slightly more to her than meets the eye.

My soundtrack list for this story is freakishly long, so I decided I would just pick one song. It's a song that describes Leah's backstory very well, and hopefully it gives a little insight into who she is.





Hope you are all enjoying this casturbation (LOL that word is so wrong!) blogfest! Don't forget to hop over to check out the other entries!

    Mmm..Radleigh McCoy. Very yummy indeed. I knew he looked familiar. That guy for Step Up is smoking hot and I love your heroine choice. I don't watch the show, but I see her a lot on promos while I watch Switched at Birth and Breakaway is such a good song. I really feel like I got a good sense of your story with that one. A girl trying to come into her own. A very excellent choice :D

    Your MC looks a lot like mine - only the actress I chose is a little too old for my MC. Wanna trade? haha.

    That is one of my favorite artists right there. Love Kelly! And I totally remember when that song came out. Freshman year of college for me. It was kinda perfect cause I was going off to this huge new university. Lots of possibility. Yeah, great choice.

    And a story around soccer!?!?!? Ummm, yes please! I LOVE soccer. Just had a game last night actually :)

    This blog fest is so cool - and such a challenge, trying to find the different actors for the characters. Yours look awesome - and that is one good song ;)

    Plus, Radleigh McCoy is FIT. x

    Love your song!! And you're hottie male cast :) I also like how you cast a female wrestler - makes me wonder about that "more than meets the eye" description. Dying to know what that is! Thanks for hosting this - it's been sooo fun!

    Love your picks, and your book sounds great! I met Kerr Smith once. People really shouldn't be THAT good-looking in person! Plus, he was super nice and let me drool for a minute...or five.

    Fun blogfest. I wasn't going to do it, but then saw a bunch of postings and looked like fun. So I pulled something together quickly.

    One thing I'm learning is I don't know most of these actor's names. Guess I need to watch more movies and TV.

    Thanks for the blogfest! The actors aren't familiar but I like the sound of your characters, especially Bree. She's looks quite quirky and fun.

    This is awesome Kyra! Such a fun fest. I have to apologize for not playing along. My computer ended up with a virus Thursday and it took forever to get it fixed. A day away from the internet is a nightmare, but it was worse than that. *sigh* I did a shout out for this today tho, but I'm still super bummed I didn't get the time to put something together. I promise that next time I will avoid any potential viruses! :)

IWSG: Performance anxiety

Welcome to the August edition of IWSG, hosted by the amazing Alex J.Cavanaugh ! So, as most of you know by now - because I haven't shut up about it LOL - my first novel, Game On, has been released. The blog tour officially starts next week (YAY!) but I find myself becoming increasingly nervous. A blog tour not only highlights my book, but me. What if people don't like me? What if my guest posts suck, and everyone thinks I'm boring? If I can't engage people in 300 words on a blog, they probably aren't going to pick up my book. And then there's the "what happens next" question. I plan to make Game On into a series, which feels a bit arrogant of me. I don't know how many people are going to like the first book, should I really be planning to keep the series going? So far, Game On has actually been incredibly well received. I've had great reviews, so maybe I shouldn't worry about people not liking it, but what if Book Two isn't as goo

First Fight/First Kiss Blogfest

Yay, it's blogfest time! Many thanks to Danielle and Jackie for hosting! Here are the details: Share your 1 st FIGHT and 1 st KISS scenes in your MS’s or WIP’s. Crack open your current project or dive back into an old one. We want to feel what your characters feel. From the sting of their first fist-to-the-face to the tingling taste of their first kiss. Today is First Fight day, and I wanted to bring you a small excerpt from my NaNo novel which centres around Jesse Shaw, one of the characters from Game On. It's a bit rough, and a bit vague - mainly because I wrote it quickly, Jesse's voice still needs work, and this fight in full would be packed with spoilers, but hopefully it gives enough info to make sense!   Just to clear up a small thing - Georgia is Isabelle's twin sister. :)   ** “Izzy,” I said. “You know the right thing to do.” Isabelle looked down at me with those big brown eyes, and my insides twisted with guilt. Right away, I realised

IWSG: Am I doing it right? And does anyone care?

Happy IWSG Day! This genius idea created by Alex J. Cavanaugh is a place for all of us insecure writers to gather together to talk about our worries, and cheer each other on. Check out the full list of participants here ! Think right now about your favourite writers. How do you feel when you know they have a new book being released? It's usually something like, "HURRY UP, I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE!" right? And also, think about when one of your super talented blog buddies announces they've got a book coming out soon. That is even more exciting because it's someone you know, someone you may have seen struggling to reach their goal of publication. Someone you've seen go through the rough times, and have finally made it to where they want to be. I can tell you that when Jolene Perry, or Nyrae Dawn announce a book release - I bounce up and down like a crazy person! These two awesome ladies are writers I absolutely adore for their ability to write so natural
