U is for Unsure





My A-Z Theme is based on my books, the Game On series. You won’t need to have read them to follow this story, since it’s slightly removed from the full plot, like a side story. What it will do is give you a glimpse into my characters, and a chance to get to know them a little bit, PLUS, during the story, you will get a mini tour of parts of the UK! The posts will come from two of my main characters, Leah Walker and Radleigh McCoy.  If this is your first time here, please start at the letter A. :D

U - Unsure
(Leah)
 
When Radleigh first asked me to go back to L.A with him – in the middle of an argument, as usual – I admit it. I was scared. Unsure. If he’d had his way, he’d have had me packed up and on the next flight with him. I needed a little reassurance first, though. I wanted go, of course. But I also didn’t want to spend the rest of my life moving back and forth every time we realised we couldn’t actually live together.

As it turned out, when we stopped fighting how we felt, we stopped fighting completely. 

I knew we could get along – in America, we’d had some great times. Most of them happened when we were away from L.A, but even so, those were the times I’d gotten better glimpses of who Radleigh was. The times I started to fall in love with him.

I would move back with him, of course. His whole life, his family, his career – they were all in L.A. He needed to be there, and I needed to be with him. I wasn’t unsure anymore.

    There's nothing better than the feeling you get when all becomes clear and all that uncertainty has gone. Good to be positive.

    It's a wonderful feeling when you're no longer unsure of the direction you should take.

    It definitely is good to be certain about what you want. Uncertainty can be exhausting.

    From someone who is almost always uncertain, I can really appreciate her feelings here!

    I like the sentence about when they stopped fighting how they felt, they stopped fighting. A lot of couples can learn from that.

    It can be scary to pack up and move with someone, but I'm glad she figured out what is really important to her.

    Both in real life and in fiction, I love it when someone has that resolve.

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
