C is for Cuteness

My plan for the A - Z Challenge is to write every post as if it were a diary entry by a character from my WIP. Today's post comes from Bree Collinson. 

**

 I love, love, love making new friends! My hubby, Jude, thinks I have more than enough already, but like I told him, a girl can never have too many friends, clothes or shoes. I mean, what if I left that perfect pair of Jimmy Choos in the shop, then needed them later to go with my new Alberta Ferretti? Disaster, right?

Anyway, what was I saying? Oh, right, new friends! A couple weeks ago, I met Taylor. She's dating Westberg's latest cutie pie, Jesse Shaw, and she is SO MUCH FUN! It's cool to have someone real close to my own age around. I don't know if we'll be swapping secrets or anything, but she knows how to have a good time, and that's what I like!

Today, I made another friend, her name's Leah and she's the new physiotherapist. She couldn't help me fix my broken nail, but she did make me a cup of coffee and we chatted for like ... hours! Well, maybe not hours, but a long time, and I already feel like she's my big sister because she didn't mind listening while I went on and on about Jude. She says we can meet for lunch on her next day off, and I can't wait!

    Oh I've met people like this. Again great voice. Creating a good voice is a skill that is hard to master and you have.

    Oh wow. She is... chipper, lol. I agree with the previous commenters: you can really see her voice and personality from this snippet. Haha, she definitely woke me up (it's 6am here). :-)

    Bree sounds a little distracted, but in a very cute way :)

    LOL to asking a physiotherapist to fix a broken nail! Now, who wouldn't love that girl? I am loving these posts!

    To me, she sounds like the girl who'd be waiting outside your work everyday for lunch, and then for coffee, and then follow you home...

    Her voice shines in this. I cracked up reading how leaving the perfect pair of Jimmy Choo's at the store would have been a disaster. That is great! lol.

    Good Luck with the A-Z challenge. I shied away and consider you very brave :)

    "Jimmy Choos in the shop, then needed them later to go with my new Alberta Ferretti?"

    I have no idea what his means. I'm going to take jummy Choos as cockney rhyming slang and Alberta Feffetti as some sort of wrestler.

    Or it's some sort of women's clothing that for strangely enough, I have no idea about.

    Bree sounds like a cute character. You have a nice way of establishing character voice and I love that.

    That's true, you can never have enough friends.

    Hi, Kyra! This is a great theme idea for A to Z! I like your character's voice. Bree sounds young and hip with a big personality!

    Nice to meet you and happy A to Z!

    Cute post! You know, I actually know someone who said that to me once-- she likes to collect friends.

    Gotta love a good cup of coffee. I love this idea for the A-Z Challenge! Can't wait for the next addition. :)

    Stopping by from the A-Z Challenge. Hello!

    My god, give that girl some tranquilizers. She's so hyper.
    She's a good character, although I think I hate her. x3

    Haha, I with McKenzie. I'm so not the super bubbly type. (Although I have a feeling one of my CP's and best friends is like this in person) But great voice and contrast to your last character. ;0)

    In my head, she has this super-high-pitched voice and is dressed in pink. You paint pictures very well, and that's half the battle! Sounds like the physiotherapist has found herself a new subject!

    What a fun character. No wonder she has so many friends! At first I thought you were talking about yourself.

    Thanks, everyone! Seems there were mixed reactions to Bree and her bubbly nature! She is a little more toned down in the actual story - unless she is excited about something lol. :D

    Oh yes, I can just see her, twinkling through life. She's blonde, isn't she? (I'm blonde so that discounts any discrimination here!). You know? My new novel has a Jude as the m/c and a Leah in it :-)

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! Th...

IWSG: Books Sales

IWSG time! I'd like to start by thanking Alex J. Cavanaugh for this fab bloghop, and today in particular, it is just the motivation I need to get me blogging again! Today, I'm talking book sales. Now, I don't really know if there is any kind of "average" amount of books sales when you're an indie author. I don't know what is considered a good amount of book sales per month, or whether I am doing better or worse than others. What I do know, is that I am happy with the amount of books I've sold. I self-published because I want people to read my work - and people are reading it - yay! My concern is - what if the sales stop? I know after a time, everyone's book sales will slow down, but I have this fear that I'll check my sales every couple of weeks to find that nobody cares about reading my books anymore.The dreaded 0 will show on my Kindle sales, and I will plummet into a pit of despair. It hasn't happened yet, but Game On has onl...

Camp NaNo Update, and details

To begin with, I want to say thanks again to Emily for allowing me onto her blog as a blogging mentor! Being interviewed is always fun, and Emily is awesome! So, to Camp NaNo! Four days in and I'm still on track! Well, I will be when I finish today's writing. :D I mentioned a while ago that I was planning to battle boy POV, and I'm doing my best to get through it. However, it is hard, so I decided to turn my NaNo story into dual POV so it will be 50% less difficult! I'm not against cheating to get the work done. :p Just to give you a quick recap on what I'm doing for NaNo: In Game On, I have a young soccer player named Jesse Shaw, and he proved quite popular during the A-Z challenge. So, I decided he needed his own spin-off story! It's set at the end of the soccer season, when Jesse and his best friend go to London. I don't have a proper synopsis yet, but this is my guideline for now Soccer sensation Jesse Shaw literally has the world at his fee...
