It's summer, there's fireworks, yummy food, and spending time with family.<span class="fullpost"></span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I was young, our ward would go up the mountains and camp overnight, with a patriotic fireside by, well, the fire. It was so much fun. After a few years of this, they no longer had campouts, but we'd still go up to the church that morning for breakfast and a flag ceremony. I loved it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Along with that, we'd have a huge pool party that our city pool hosted where there were races to win little coupons for around our tiny town, along with them throwing several dollars in coins into the pool. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That night we'd either do fireworks at our house or we'd drive to the local college to watch fireworks and have picnic.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Did I mention how much I loved growing up where I did? (By the way, you see a lot of where I grew up in my books. Write what you know, right?)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, flash forward several years and a trip to Australia. I loved it there. With all the bad things that happened, I still loved it there. But it wasn't home. It wasn't America. Their laws for repairing things, and their medical practices and so on, were not HOME. I wanted to go back where I could have my American flag.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We spent the 4th of July there, and to celebrate, we went to TGI Fridays to get the most American meal we could find. Our waiter was from America and I wanted to hug him. There were no fireworks (They're not allowed for citizens, by the way), but at least we got our steak, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We were home by the 21st of July after getting sick from yet another house. I wanted to cry when I saw our flag again for the first time. As we drove back from LA to St. George (soooo much cheaper than flying those last few hundred miles—even in two cars so we could fit our stuff!), I was thrilled to watch the landscape—MY American landscape—go by. And summer was finally back in the actual summertime. We'd left the winter back behind in Melbourne.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few days later we went to a show at the Desert Star with some friends. I LOVE that place. The skits are hilarious, and it's just a fun atmosphere. At the end, they normally have a medley of songs that they goof up and it's hilarious. This time, it happened to be patriotic songs.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While people around me laughed, I sat there with tears rolling down my cheeks. I was home. And these songs depicted why America is so great. And while the lady sang God Bless the USA in Sarah Palin's voice, I bawled. This is MY country and I'm proud to call it mine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our country is going through a lot right now and the majority isn't great. We're set for a historical presidential election and I'm not looking forward to the outcome. But America is still mine. It's still ours. And I hope we can always remember that.</div>

<span class="fullpost"></span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wasn't disappointed. The classes were fantastic as always, but something made them just a little more special. Scriptures were used as quotes in one of my classes and in the keynote (both the same teacher). They were verses I needed to hear. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Both keynote speeches were pretty much written for me. And the cool thing is, I think most, if not all the other writers felt exactly the same way. They were inspired, and for that I'm so thankful.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They focused on family and finding time to be both a writer and a parent. They shared funny insights from their lives and they were just ... perfect. I teared up during both because it helped me see what I did right and what I could do better to give both things the time they need and deserve.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And it wasn't just those speeches. It was meeting people and helping people with their first pages (I had so much fun!!) and seeing old friends. As I walked toward the registration desk the first day, I wanted to jump up and down because I felt at home. These are my people. This is my tribe. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also had the opportunity to go to the Whitneys for the first time this year. It was fantastic! Such a wonderful spirit. And how many awards shows do you get to hear people say how much they prayed for inspiration to write, or talk about miracles? Fantastic. As I announced the winner's name for Speculative Fiction (Dan Wells for The Devil's Only Friend), I got to see his look of surprise and joy as he stood to accept his award. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Every year, as I left the conference, I felt drained of energy, and I couldn't wait to get home and sleep for a month or so(that much awesomeness is exhausting!). This time, I felt peace. There was a determination to put my new skills to the test, but I was just ... happy. Maybe it was my super happy yellow dress that I wore that day, or the excitement of being able to say "And the winner is ..." at the Whitneys, but I think it was more than that. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I want to say thank you. To the committee for planning this conference, my friends (both new and old), and to Dr. Chris Crowe and Brandon Sanderson for their amazing speeches. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And now, I get back to writing my book so I can wake up in time to get my kids to school. A mother/writer's work is never done! Until next time, LDStorymakers Conference!</div>

Enjoy your new books!jaclyn weisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14487648832438872908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215510058763967128.post-19179478628270130812015-12-13T23:21:00.001-07:002015-12-13T23:21:00.399-07:00Trip of a LifetimeIf you've ever read my novels, you've probably noticed that I have a deep love for Ireland and Irish mythology. Every time I needed a new character to do something specific for my story, I would look through their mythology and find a creature that would do exactly that.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My dream for the last few years has been to travel to Ireland so I could see everything my books had talked about. I wanted to experience the Emerald Isle for myself. Partly so I could enjoy what I've grown to love, and partly to make sure that my research had steered me in the right direction for my novels.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This last August, Delta Airlines had an amazing sale using their air miles and I had the chance to do something I never thought I'd be able to do. We got to travel to England, and from there, we went to go to see Ireland and Scotland.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We left last week and started out in England. While my books have not been set there, I still got to go see some amazing things while I was there. The British Museum is full of artifacts that the British Empire stole from countries all over the world. Chinese, Japanese, German, and on and on. Every time I thought we were done, we'd find another whole wing of items. The Rosetta Stone is even in there.</div>
<div>

But then we found out that one of the exhibits was about the Celtic culture. We bought our tickets and I went into devour everything I could learn about them. It was rich in history and had many items from that time. I was sad I couldn't take pictures while I was in there, so I tried to soak in as much as I could about the Celts and their history. MY history because these were my people. </div>

The next morning we were off to Ireland. We took a train from London up to Holyhead, and then we took a ferry to Dublin from there. Amazing. Although I wasn't too fond of the up and down from the waves on the ferry. I got used to it about ten minutes from shore ... after a four hour trip.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We went right to the center of Dublin, and because we got there after all the sights had closed, we just walked around the streets to catch a glimpse of what we could. We found a memorial for those who had fought in wars, and a few cathedrals, and then we made our way back to our hotel.</div>
<div>

I'd hoped to make to either the Blarney Castle or to a small forest near Kilkenny because they were both parts of my books, but we just didn't have enough time. The lady at the hotel warned us that while we could have gone to Blarney, it would have been cold, windy, and rainy. Not ideal when you want to climb 90 feet to the top of the castle...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We decided on a small place called Kilkenny. It was a 2 hour trip by bus, and then we stored our baggage at a hotel while we were there (Thanks to our concierge lady from the hotel in Dublin. She'd called in a favor.) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh my goodness. It was the most amazing little place. The streets were cobbled in the pedestrian areas, and the stores were small and had the cool Celtic font the I love so much, and oh, there was a castle just hanging out in the middle of it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We toured the castle and saw tapestries that were older than our country. It had been refurbished a few different times in it's history and was owned by a family until the 1920s when it was turned over to the city. </div>

Afterward we went to lunch at a little pub that was in a home built in 1049. The owner was a woman who was charged with witchcraft, but she'd managed to escape before they burned her at the stake. The walls were a rough brick, and it was so cool to be eating in side a place that was so old. Plus, the Irish stew was to die for.</div>

We'd planned to catch a bus back to Dublin so we could see Dublin Castle, St Patrick's Cathedral, and the leprechaun museum, but the bus didn't come for another five hours, so we were stuck in the most perfect little town ever. I didn't want to leave, so I counted it as a blessing that got to stay longer than we'd planned. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since we wouldn't get back in time to see anything in Dublin, we took the bus to the airport and went to our hotel. After dinner, we went right to sleep so we could get up at 4:30 in the morning to go catch a plane to Scotland. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The plane actually took off at 7, but we still had to make the trip back to the airport from our hotel, and then walk back and forth to get from security to baggage claim and then to the plane. It was small and cramped, but otherwise it wasn't too bad. The ticket were also only 9 pounds, so we couldn't complain. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We started out in Glasgow and walked around for a couple of hours, staring up at the architecture. It was amazing! It was colder than Ireland and we had to take our bags with us everywhere, so we didn't stay there for very long before hopping on the train over to Edinburgh.</div>

They say that Edinburgh was built on seven hills. I'm pretty sure we walked up all of them. Okay, not really, but it felt like it. This was one place that showed up in my fourth Luck book so I wanted to get some research in. We also passed by the little shop where JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter. Pretty cool!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After dropping our stuff off at the hotel, we made our way over to Edinburgh Castle. Our plan was to go there and tour, and then head over to Holyrood Palace since both places were in my book. We missed the Holyrood Palace tour by eight minutes. Bummer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
BUT the Edinburgh Castle was amazing. Every wall was filled with the history of Scotland. We saw cannons, towers, dungeons, old bathrooms, bedrooms, a military memorial, and my favorite, the crown jewels. That part actually gave me some great ideas for this last luck book. So be watching for it!</div>

Afterward, we talked to a lady about our family names and ended up staying there to talk for at least an hour. She was wonderful to talk to, but as we talked, it started raining outside. I'm not talking normal rain. I'm talking heavy, soak everything you own rain. We still made our way over to the palace (and just missed it) so we could at least get a picture, and then headed back to the hotel. We did try one souvenir shop, but we were too wet to actually want to buy anything. They tried to get us to buy an umbrella, but by that time there was no point. When we got back to the hotel, we had to empty out our bags, pockets, and everything else so we could use an iron and blow dryer to dry our clothes out. It was crazy! </div>

The next morning we headed back to England. The countryside was beautiful as we traveled the four hours back down to London. We took our stuff back to the same hotel we'd stayed at before and boarded a tour bus. We got to see Big Ben, the tower bridge, Tower of London, several cathedrals, and the London Eye. Sadly it was too dark to see Buckingham Palace, but I still enjoyed the tour. Afterward we walked over to Piccadilly Circus and toured the area. We found Hamley's toystore that had been there since 1760. Holy moly. We wandered through the streets again to find dinner and then made our way back to the hotel to collapse.</div>

We only had one more morning, so we stored our things and took a train over to walk along the Thames River and to go see the tower of London. We didn't have a chance to go in, but we did stop at the gift shop, so that counts, right? We hopped back on the bus again, and toured through London, but had to get off before Buckingham Palace (sigh... we missed it twice) so we could get on a train and sprint back to the hotel to get our stuff so we get catch a train to the airport. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While we sat there, we found out that the area we'd traveled through from Scotland to London was flooded. It was crazy! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was the most amazing trip we'd ever taken, and while we could have used another month or five to see everything we wanted to, I counted myself lucky that I could see the places that my characters had traveled in my books. If you ever have a chance to go and research the places you write about, take it. Enjoy it. And soak in every ounce of history you possibly can. </div>

<b><i>Brownies & Betrayal</i></b> by Heather Justesen<br />
Pastry chef Tess Crawford thought moving from Chicago to quiet Silver Springs, Arizona would simplify her life. That was before she found the body of a woman with whom she had traded heated words the previous night, left her fingerprints on<br />
the murder weapon, and came under attack for trying to clear her name. When her cheating ex-fiance shows up, intent on convincing her to come back to work for him, Tess—armed with an extra batch of éclairs—decides to take control and solve the mystery herself, with the help of friends and frenemies alike.<br />
But will that be enough to save her when she gets too close and the killer decides it’s safer to get her out of the way?<br />

<b><i>Son of War Daughter of Chaos </i></b>by Janette Rallison</div>
<div>
Aislynn is accustomed to watching for the enemy. Her parents instructed her from the time she was young to look for people with the signs: greater than normal strength, eyes that can glow green, and the ability to jump long distances. Over the years, Aislynn has come to view her parents' fears as quirks-things that get in the way of having a normal high school life. When Aislynn's mother dies under suspicious conditions, her father doubles his restrictions. But all his precautions can't stop the boy with glowing green eyes from finding Aislynn. She realizes too late she's been drafted into an ancient Egyptian war, whether she's prepared or not.</div>

<b><i>Vocal Crush</i></b> by Lisa Swinton</div>
<div>
<div>
Can you ever out run a broken heart?</div>
<div>
Lexi Court spent seven years traveling the world, living the nomadic Broadway life, in an attempt to outrun the broken heart Nick Rivers gave her. Now, there’s nowhere left to go.</div>
<div>
When she accepted a position as a high school drama teacher in Las Vegas, Lexi hoped to get over Nick, find a nice guy, and settle down. But what should be a quiet summer gets turned upside down when Lexi's best friend, Taffy, drafts her to be an emergency replacement coach on a televised vocal competition.</div>
<div>
Feeling out of her league among the other three celebrity coaches, Lexi fights for the most promising contestants to be on her team. One note from a single voice shatters her summer. Nick unexpectedly auditions and joins Lexi's team. With her vocal crush on him raging as strong as ever, she has nowhere to run from Nick’s dreamy looks or siren voice.</div>
<div>
Lexi has no doubt that Nick can win the competition. The question is does he want to win her heart as well or will he damage it beyond repair?</div>

In order to cope, she makes a life for herself that's full of routine while building a wall of ice around her heart. Everything about her is as predictable as she can make it until a tiny detour for her ex-husband, Ron, changes her life forever.

But the situation escalates when Ron discovers that Starks has an even bigger objective in mind---using the bomb to show how vulnerable America and her people truly are. </div>

<b><i>Stealing Adda</i></b> by Tamara Leigh</div>
<div>
WRITER’S BLOCK, NIBBLED NAILS, PLAGIARISM, OH MY! AND DID I MENTION ROMANCE? Life for Adda Sinclaire, New York Times best-selling author and historical romance writer extraordinaire, reads more like a country song than a breathless, bodice-bursting affair. For starters, she has no romance in her own life. That might have something to do with the fact that her husband—correction, ex-husband—ran off with Stick Woman, whom everyone knew would never be more than a mid-list author anyway. To add insult to injury (and another verse to the country song), her ex not only took their dog but gave it to Stick Woman. If that isn't enough, Adda has come down with a horrible case of writer's block, finds herself gifted with a Bible that is determined to speak to her, and is the unwitting target of a romance cover model's misdirected advances. Just when she catches her breath—and quite possibly the eye of a certain fabulously good-looking man (ahem…her new editor)—her arch-nemesis gives the pot one final stir.</div>

<div>
After watching her parents’ marriage crash and burn, CIA operative Talia Reynolds doesn’t believe in “happily ever afters.” Besides, her job entails eighty-hour weeks, juggling a dozen covers and disguises, and tracking down a dangerous Russian spy ring. She hardly has time for romantic entanglements, even if she could let her guard down enough to get close to anyone.But all the rules she lives by could be broken when she meets aerospace engineer Danny Fluker.</div>
<div>
Danny moved to Canada for a great job — and a chance to start over after a bad breakup. Dating definitely isn’t in his plans . . . until beautiful and enigmatic Talia throws a perfect storm right in his flight path. When he catches a glimpse of the real woman behind her façade, he has to get to know her better.</div>
<div>
Talia has to find a Russian spymaster before he figures out she’s not who she claims, and failing to keep her two lives separate in the process could mean the death of more than just her budding relationship. Danny has to decide if a future with Talia — and facing the past — is worth the risk of getting hurt again. If they can break through the barriers keeping them apart (and avoid a major international catastrophe), they just might have a chance at being happy together.</div>

From #2 Amazon Bestselling Historical Romance Author and Whitney Award Winner, Michele Paige Holmes, comes SAVING GRACE, a regency romance from the Hearthfire Romance series: </div>
<div>
<div>
After the death of her grandfather, the Duke of Salisbury, Grace Thatcher wants nothing more than to live quietly in the country with her younger siblings. Her father’s debts thwart those plans, and to protect her sister, Helen, Grace must marry a man of her father’s choosing. </div>
<div>
As each suitor proves less than desirable, Grace comes up with clever schemes, causing each to reject her. While staying at the mysterious Sutherland Hall, a middle-of-the-night mishap sends Grace into the arms of a stranger, Nicholas Sutherland—and provides inspiration for her grandest plan yet—one that will leave her reputation in tatters yet free both her and Helen from all possibility of marriage. </div>

Too late Grace regrets her rash actions when her father’s last choice, Mr. Samuel Preston, proves to be a gentleman and a friend. But Samuel is the sworn enemy of Nicholas Sutherland, the man responsible for her “ruin.” Now instead of being free, Grace is caught between two men—each with his own agenda. </div>

<b><i>Paris Cravings</i></b> by Amazon #1 Best Selling Author for Clean Romance, Kimberley Montpetit<br />
Can life really turn on a dime, a missed bus—or a stuck pastry shop door?<br />
Chloe Dillard's life has always been complicated. Her mother is a neurotic romance novelist and her boyfriend, Mathew, has been pressuring her to go "all the way".<br />
But after The Worst Night of Her Life, Chloe escapes on her Senior Class trip to the swoon-worthy city of Paris which takes her mind off her troubles—temporarily. On the final leg of her dream trip, Chloe squeezes in one final run for a last-minute box of decadent pastries. Add a broken shop door, subtract a broken four-inch heel from her cute strappy sandals, and Chloe ends up one stuck girl on the bakery shop floor with a sprained ankle.<br />
Rescued by the shop owner’s dreamy son with chocolate-syrup eyes, the beautiful city of Paris suddenly becomes Chloe’s personal secret adventure. And even though Jean-Paul, the oh-so-kind La Patisserie shop boy is the gentlemanly guy Chloe has always dreamed of, even he has a girlfriend.<br />
The police are tracking her down as a run-away, Mom’s having a nervous breakdown over her daughter’s “disappearance”, and Chloe’s just trying to have a Happily-Ever-After even as her dreams with Matt are swirling down the drain.<br />
What’s a girl to do in the most romantic city in the world?<br />

As soon as she walked in, she felt the tension in the air. People had been talking about her again. It was always that way.

She turned and left. It was time to move again. This time it would be far away from the nearest village. Then her magic could run free, just like it had always wanted. And she’d never have to worry about the whispers again.</div>

<br />
<br />
I had the opportunity to interview Steven L. Sears at the Writers of the Future 2015 Awards Ceremony. I had a great time, and got some amazing advice from him.<br />
<br />
<br /><u><b>What advice would you give new writers?</b></u><br /><br /><br />First of all, never kill your kids. There’s a philosophy which is not really born about my own actual beliefs theology. Children have the knowledge of the universe because they just came from there. They know everything because they just came from where it all happens and they just walk out into our lives. What’s the first thing they hear when they get here?<div>
<br />"No"<br /><br />No. And that’s a wall. No’s are walls. So the word no is a wall and we keep doing that. Usually it’s for legitimate reason. We don’t want the child to hurt themselves but we have to consider that a rep of no creates barriers and that eats away at our knowledge of the universe. More importantly it eats away our willingness to go back and play in that world. So I think what a lot of creative people who are successful later in life have done is 1. They heard the word no, but they applied it to practical things and not creative, or Two, they spent a large part of their life trying to unlearn the “no” walls. And online when when I’ve taught classes, those are the people who have struggled the most because they’re trying to recover their childhood. Or they’re afraid to recover their childhood. It changes their entire world. But when they success, they’re incredibly creative, because they went through the pain.<br /><br />___________<br /><br /><br /><u><b>What inspires you in your writing?</b></u><br /><br />Some of my answer is going to be a little weird because I look at it form a different perspective. My inspiration is that I’m a storyteller and I’m surrounded by a world of stories. I can’t say anything inspires me because that’s the water in my goldfish bowl. To me, that’s not unusual. The inspiration is never the problem. I look around and there are stories to be told.<br /><br />I’m the guy who will walk down the sidewalk and then suddenly jump down to look on the round to look at an ant. A lizard. This morning in fact, I spent ten minutes sliding along the floor in my socks, only because it amused my dog. That’s going to end up in something.<br /><br />So I can’t escape the inspiration. It’s all around us. It’s like the child with the walls. It’s all there. Your own life should inspire you. The fact that you’re standing here, is inspirational. Why wouldn’t you look around you and say “This is an awesome world. It’s got problems. I have problems as well. It’s an up and down adventure. All ticket rides are inspirational because they leave you breathless.”<br /><br />_________________<br /><br /><br /><b><u>What is your favorite part of Writers of the Future?</u></b><br /><br />The new talent. I’m a big believer in new blood. The industry that I come out of, which is primarily television, people look at that as being a locked shop, “It’s who you know,” “You can’t break in” but the truth is just the opposite. We thrive on new blood. It IS hard to get in because there a lot of people out of there thinking they’re something special. <br /><br />But it’s like that scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail when he’s trying to get everyone to leave the window and he yells “You are all individuals.” And they all repeat “We are all individuals.” And the one person yells, “I’m not.” Well, that’s the individual.<br /><br />What I like about this is that you see new talent being reinforced and supported and urged onward as opposed to: “I’m a great storyteller.” - “Well, that’s great. Take your story elsewhere.” <br /><br />It’s the encouragement of new talent, because without that—dreams are not past tense. I never bother looking forward to my last dream. It’s the one in front of me that I haven’t seen yet. So I just saw a people on stage who have a lot of dreams but they just haven’t let me know what they are yet. That’s what I love about this.<br /><br />________________<br /><br /><br /><b><u>There are a lot of times when people think, “My book is the best thing ever, and then hit the “This is the worst book ever.” What do you do to help them?</u></b><br /><br />It’s very simple. I have a very simple solution. Every time I’m hired to write another screenplay or I’ve got another assignment for TV show. I start the same way. I sit in front of the computer, my hands over the computer and I sit there and I go, “How did I do this? I don’t remember how I did this last time. I don’t. Oh my goodness, look at the size of that monster.”<br /><br />And then I think that I don’t have to look at the big monster. I just have to look at the next step toward the monster, so fade in. And then once I’m typing away, the kids come out to play in my head and then I just take dictation. I’m having a lot of fun. So the simple response to that is for those who say they have writer’s block. Or forty page block in screenwriting.<br /><br />So what I say is "Just write." Just write. Take your next baby step. Because what you’re doing right then is doing the equivalent of whacking your way through a corn field. The corn is too high to see what you’re doing right now. You can go left, right, backwards forwards. Just keep chopping away at it. Go in a direction of some sort At the end of the cornfield, there’s a helicopter. And you can go up in that helicopter and see everything you laid out. And that’s when you go “Oh that’s what I did.” And then you can move things around. That’s when you get really excited.<br /><br />Usually this is the first draft. I just say “One foot in front of the other. Or “Just keep swimming” if you want to use that. But just keep writing.<br /><br />I’ve had my characters actually talking about not going forward. <br /><br />_________</div>
<div>
<br />And of course:<br /><br /><b><u>What’s your favorite color?</u></b><br /><br />Kind of a maroon, green, sometimes blue. <br /><br /><br />Thanks, Steven!! </div>

The first time I had a book character disobey me, I was in complete shock. I'd heard about it from other writers, but hadn't experienced it myself. When I told one of my non-writing friends that it had happened, she was pretty sure I was crazy.<br />
<br />
Whether you outline or discovery write, you know that sometimes your story will spin in a different direction than what you'd planned. Outliners will then have to redo their outline to fit it in, and discovery writers? They just go along for the ride.<br />
<br />
Back to my first experience. My main character's brother, Adam, was supposed to be a minor character. Someone who was only mentioned in passing.<br />
<br />
And then he laughed at me. "No, sorry. I have to do this. For my sister."<br />
<br />
I stared in shock at the words in front of me as I saw him dart out of the room and try to save the day. I watched him get taken and move the story forward in a way that my main character couldn't have. The story was so much stronger because of it. Then together, they were able to save the day, and the story wrapped up perfectly. Well, maybe not perfectly because another two books came after that.<br />
<br />
There are times when you can reign in your story and tell them to behave, but before you do, weigh the consequences. Will the story suffer if you go a new direction? Will it be stronger? What are you going to have to change after this? Is it worth it?<br />
<br />
One great indicator is how the story reacts. If you're suddenly at a standstill and you can't go any further, chances are you need to go back and fix a spot. Maybe that sudden inspiration wasn't what the story needed. And sometimes the different direction is exactly what the plot needed to drive it forward.<br />
<br />
I was done with a series last year. My character had saved the day and everything was exactly how I wanted it. Except ... my story had other ideas. One day in the middle of church, a whole new plot came to mind and screamed at me to write it.<br />
<br />
So I did. Except that I got to the ending and sat there staring at it. Nothing worked. The ending I had planned out didn't solve anything, and in fact, made it too similar to the ending of the third book. I took a step back and talked to a few friends before suddenly realizing that this wasn't the end. It had to go a different direction or I would have broken promises I made in the book. After I made that decision, the story flowed perfectly, and I was able to finish it later that day.<br />
<br />
And now I have another book to write. But you know what? That's okay, because I know that going off the beaten path will make this story stronger.<br />
<br />
So what's the craziest thing your characters ever made you write?jaclyn weisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14487648832438872908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215510058763967128.post-48650714719161628612015-06-03T17:17:00.002-06:002015-06-04T00:30:47.036-06:00WonHundred Word Wednesdays<br />

<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7vUA7AeaMMw/VVQ8PXHiPYI/AAAAAAAAFNY/lQViamghlTM/s1600/mqdefault.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7vUA7AeaMMw/VVQ8PXHiPYI/AAAAAAAAFNY/lQViamghlTM/s400/mqdefault.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
One of the exciting things I had the opportunity to do at Writers of the Future was to interview authors after the ceremony was over. My first interview was with Peter J. Wacks. He was very personable, and I enjoyed talking with him.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<b><i>What advice do you have to give to new writers? </i></b><br />
<br />
<br />
Besides write every day—which is a big thing—make sure it’s a discipline, and not just an art.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, it’s never too soon or too late to get started. I was first professionally published when I was fifteen years old. I have friends who were professionally published when they were in their 60’s. If you love it, do it, and you’ll find a way. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>What about those people who say they don’t have the time? </i></b><br />
<br />
<br />
I heard this story from Kevin J Anderson, about Frank Herbert taking 15 minute breaks while working as a journalist. During his lunch breaks, he would whip out his notepad and write for fifteen minutes. That book was called Dune. There’s <i>always</i> time. There’s always time—even if it comes in 10 minute increments. </div>
<div>
<br />
If you were to write twenty five words per minute (which is 1/3 the normal typing speed), You would get two hundred fifty manuscript pages before you know it. And after a year, you would have a whole book.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>My son loves comics. Where would you tell him to start with writing graphic novels?</i></b><br />
<br />
<br />
It really depends on what he likes. You’ve got to follow what you love when it comes to what you want to write. <br />
<br />
I would encourage him to look at Bill Morrison for the Simpsons. He does a lot of learning to writ e and young writer resources. Simpsons is big into literacy. Also, Comic Con International has a program with these awesome packets for teenagers who want to write. </div>
<div>
<br />
But ultimately, when it comes down to, your story - find a way to tell it. Whatever it takes, whatever medium it’s in, just tell it. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>What is your favorite part of Writers of the Future? </i></b><br />
<br />
<br />
Boot Camp. The week leading up to the ceremony. Watching these guys come in just completely dazzled. What? Why am I here? I don’t deserve this. Then they get to sit down with all these legends and then watch them go through all that course work and get the personal connections with these people who care that they’re the next generation of writers and they start to learn that there is a circular community. That every generation cares about the next generation when it comes to writers. We’re all in this together. No matter what level of success or failure we’ve and. And watching them learn that first hand over the week leading up to that ceremony. Unfortunately it’s not a part many people get to see. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b>Do you have an author who inspired you to write? </b></i><br />
<br />
<br />
I’m about to lose all my geek cred. I have many authors who have inspired me to write. My first author that inspired to write is when I was 8 years old. I was already writing, but it inspired me to write more and to explore more and that was Plato and the allegory of the cave.<br />
<br />
I saw that as the allegory of the writer and not of the Cave. To strip away the shadows and show the people the world. At least as I could understand the real world when I was eight. “I’ve got to show the world how cool this stuff is.” And that fire was in me after that. <br />
<br />
And that flame got coaxed into a bigger light by Tracy Hickman with the Dragonlance Chronicles when I was about ten years old. So I would say at the beginning, that was really it. What got me going. The odd couple - Tracy Hickman and Plato. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So authors go between "My book is awesome" and "This is the worst book ever." How do you tell them to get through the lows.<br />
<br />
<br />
You saw the video at the beginning? About thirty seconds before, I wondered what I had just done.<br />
<br />
You tough it out and finish the story. You write problems for your characters and then you write them through it. So if you’re at a low, write yourself through it. </div>

First, a word about Andrea Pearson's new release. She's super excited about it because it's the project she and her illustrator, <a href="http://jamesecurwen.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">James E. Curwen</a>, worked on together with a local elementary school. They gave the kids creative control over nearly every aspect of the process - they gave feedback on characters, the writing, the illustrations, and they picked the names of the characters, their personalities, and physical attributes. She's super excited about this book and am very happy with how it turned out. :-)<br />

Adam Crenshaw is tired of living in his little sister’s shadow. She wins everything, and he gets the leftovers. Big brothers are supposed to be the role models, right?<br />
<br />
Then one day, all that changes. Louie is a leprechaun who offers him all the luck he could possibly want—for a price. The offer is tempting, but Adam refuses to work with him. To teach him a lesson, Louie steals all of<br />
his luck, and Adam’s life is turned upside down. He now has a choice between giving in to the leprechaun’s demands, or losing everything that matters to him.<br />

When You’re Hiding For Your Life, What Do You Live For?<br />
<br />
Abbi has the gift of dreams. But her uncanny ability to see glimpses of the future has no apparent purpose or meaning until a dream leads her to a man on the brink of despair and destruction.<br />
<br />
Cameron is a man without a name and without a country, framed for a crime he didn’t commit. Long ago forced into exile and believed dead, the passing of years have defaced him of all hope.<br />
<br />
The country of Horstberg suffers beneath the weight of tyranny, and only Cameron holds the secret that could see her ruler undone and restore the people to peace and prosperity. While revolution brews and whispers of treason threaten all that is dear to Abbi, she remains unaware of her own ability to answer a nation’s prayers.<br />
<br />
Trusting only her heart and the power of her dreams, Abbi gives all that she has to lead Cameron back into a civilized world, where love is real and freedom comes only in facing what hides behind the mask.<br />

Charlene believes she’s an ordinary housewife and mother with ordinary challenges. Gradually, she comes to realize her marriage isn't healthy and that her husband’s treatment isn't normal. Relying only on her own courage and the help of a few friends, she struggles to free herself and her children from a relationship that has turned their lives into a living nightmare.<br />
<br />
Charlene soon discovers that altering her relationship is only half the battle and finding what she really needs takes just as much courage as recognizing the problem in the first place. Trusting again—and making love work—may be the biggest challenge of all.<br />

<br />
On a rainy Parisian evening, memories plague Ariana de Cotte. Memories of her beloved twin brother, her estranged parents, and the loneliness and anger that consume her. She is nineteen, it’s her wedding night, and her life seems beyond hope or repair.<br />
<br />
Thus begins the story of an extraordinary young woman who, as her life spirals downward, struggles to find meaning and hope in the face of unimaginable suffering. Her bitter refusal to listen to the LDS missionaries only increases her pain, as does blaming God who has allowed her so much heartache. Until one dark night, when her life hits rock-bottom and the Spirit begins its whisperings to her heart.<br />
<br />
As you come to know Ariana, you will weep for her tragedy, smile at her small triumphs, rejoice as she embraces a faith that will sustain her, and feel the love of a good man who helps her find the power to change her life forever. Rachel Ann Nunes has created a powerful and moving novel with characters so real that you will let them into your heart and find yourself re-living this exceptional story again and again.<br />
<br />
“The last few chapters of this book contain some of the most powerful images of forgiveness and redemption that I’ve seen in any Christian novel. Though the religion of the characters is LDS, this novel should be read by everyone who craves to understand and feel the Savior’s touch in their own lives. Well done!” - Daniel Schroeder, Boston<br />

I had the chance to read this book, and oh my goodness. I loved it!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First the synopsis:</span><br />
<br />
<strong>About MISS MATCH</strong><i>
Billionaire CEO Luke Ryder doesn’t want to hire his best friend, Brooke, as his matchmaker. Not when he’s been in love with her for eight years. Too bad she doesn’t see him as relationship material and is engaged to another man. If the matchmaking company she works for closes, Brooke is out of a job, and Luke is out a best friend. There will be nothing stopping her from moving to Italy with her fiancé. And Luke isn’t about to let that happen.
Brooke’s dream career may be crumbling, and she will do anything to keep Toujour in the black. Even recruit Luke, America’s favorite bachelor, as her next client. Surely his perfect smile and swollen bank account will send clients swarming to their doors. But when matching up Luke works a little too well, Brooke wonders if she’s with the right man. Maybe she should finally forget Luke’s playboy image and admit he’s changed. All Brooke has to decide is if she’s willing to risk her heart.</i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My review: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
Lindzee did a fantastic job making me feel like I was right there in the story. The detail, the emotion, and the relationships were so vivid. Luke and Brooke were both great characters who played well off each other, and their friends were a great support them as they fought through their trials.<br />
<br />
While Antonio is everything that Brooke thinks she wants, he was just exactly the right amount of slimeball that made me want her to go running back to Luke. He does his best to make her happy, even as she knows she can't possibly leave Luke behind when she gets married.<br />
<br />
And talk about book hangovers! I have spent all day today wishing I could go back into that world. I can't wait to read more of Lindzee's books.<br />

<span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 12pt;">Lindzee Armstrong met her match at Utah State
University, although she was technically in high school at the time. She and
Mr. Armstrong became engaged quickly, and fell in love even quicker. He wasn</span><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 12pt;">’t a high school student,
but still thoughtfully offered to take her to prom in her wedding dress. She
declined. Wearing the wedding dress before the Big Day just seemed weird. A few
years after getting married, they welcomed twin boys into the world. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Between college, working three jobs, and having to attend every family function her socialite mother throws her way, she's become a pro. Juggling her responsibilities leave her no time, or energy, for romance. That is, until a very sexy Cajun walks into the Biergarten and makes her feel like a woman ready for whatever he's willing to give her. <br /><br />Simon English is in Texas visiting clients. He's fascinated by the woman posing as a serving wench. She eschews his advances, yet fate gives him a second chance. The chemistry between them is undeniable. When his fashion designer mother asks who's caught her son's attention, a hastily snapped photograph becomes the object that could change both his and Callie's lives.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">When you control music, every note is a weapon. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Most girls don't think twice about singing along with their favorite song on the radio. Not me. I hum once and it zombifies the hottest guy in school. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Pied Piper was real and I am his descendant. Music is my curse. If I don't master the song inside myself, it will overpower me, and if that happens... </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Billionaire CEO Luke Ryder </span>doesn't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> want to hire his best friend, Brooke, as his matchmaker. Not when he’s been in love with her for ten years. Too bad she </span>doesn't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> see him as relationship material and is engaged to another man.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Brooke’s dream career may be crumbling, and she will do anything to keep the matchmaking company she works for in the black. Even recruit Luke, America’s favorite bachelor, as her next client. Surely his perfect smile and swollen bank account will send clients swarming their doors. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If Toujour closes, Brooke is out of a job, and Luke is out a best friend. There will be nothing stopping her from moving to Italy with her fiancé. And Luke isn’t about to let that happen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When matching up Luke works a little too well, Brooke wonders if she’s with the right man. Maybe she should finally forget Luke’s playboy image and admit he’s changed. All Brooke has to decide is if she’s willing to risk her heart.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Infertility stinks. No one knows that better than Megan. After six years of insanity-inducing hormone drugs and desperate prayers, all she has to show for her efforts are enough negative pregnancy tests to fill a bassinet. All around her women are accidentally getting pregnant—like her star piano student—while Megan remains hopelessly barren. Megan’s never felt so alone. But she’s not the only one struggling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Christina has just entered the world of infertility, made worse by the fact her husband isn’t ready to be a father. Their marriage, already hanging in the balance, is being torn apart.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then there’s Kyra, the mother of a precocious three-year-old. She’s shocked to be struggling with secondary infertility. A baby is priceless, but sometimes Kyra feels like she’s being forced to choose which commandment to keep: stay out of debt, or multiply and replenish the earth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When Megan and Christina are assigned as Kyra’s visiting teachers, they all realize that what you see isn’t necessarily what’s beneath the surface. Some secrets aren’t worth the cost of keeping them.<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></span></span><br />

They're safe and smart. And for Brooklyn, the rules are simple—no dating until she turns sixteen and no kissing. But her sixteenth birthday is just a few days away, and that means all the rules are about to change. Brooklyn's still determined to avoid the drama of kissing, but she wouldn't mind holding someone's hand, especially if that someone is Luke Graham. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Treena is nervous for Rating Day. A single number will brand her forever—a valuable citizen, or a pathetic waste of space.

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To get her life and boyfriend back, she must go undercover and expose a military spy. Doesn’t sound too hard, except that someone wants her dead. And then there’s Vance, the mysterious soldier with a haunted past and beautiful brown eyes. Together, they discover a dark numbers conspiracy, one that shatters the nation’s future. Treena must join up with Vance if she is to survive the dangerous game of numbers—and the terrible war that rages within her heart. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Can true love weather magic's storm? </span><br />
<br />
Princess Roselyn is betrothed to Prince Chavez, but her heart belongs to Prince Osric. As the royal wedding approaches, they only have a few days left to be together. Osric fears losing Roselyn and will do anything to be with her, turning to magic in hopes that it will provide the answer. A white rose, enchanted with love, so long as its petals remain white, will bind the hearts of those who speak words of love.<br />
<br />
One rose, two hearts, ten words, and they will be together forever . . . until a storm clouds the night sky, and by morning, the world is dark. Every enchantment is broken, every spell undone. All magic has been destroyed, and once the white rose turns red, Roselyn and Osric will be forced to remain apart. With only four days to save their love, they must learn how to restore magic to the land . . . or their chances of being together forever are gone.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Siri de </span>Calendri was trained in the art of illumination in her brother’s workshop in 12th century Venice, but when her brother dies his will sends her far from home. Siri travels to the faraway county of Poitou in France, where she enters the guardianship of her brother’s friend, Triston de Brielle. Once settled, she hopes to find employment in an illuminator’s shop— until Triston unexpectedly snatches her heart away with a kiss. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Triston is a man of quiet honor and courage, but the guilt he carries for the death of his wife, Clothilde, has left him numb and hesitant to love again. Worse yet, Siri bears an uncanny resemblance to his lost love. Or does she? Her merry laughter and twinkling eyes are very different from his late wife's shy smiles and quiet ways. Yet when he gazes into Siri's face, all he sees is Clothilde.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then Triston's past returns to threaten them both. Trapped between the rivalry of the king's sons on the one hand and a neighbor out for vengeance on the other, Triston realizes it would be safer to send Siri away. Siri is determined not to be cast off and not to live in another woman’s shadow. She has illuminated many a priceless book with pen and paint, but can her own vibrant spirit illuminate the darkness in Triston’s soul and make his heart beat for her alone?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Lyn sets off on her supposedly uncomplicated and unromantic cruise, she never dreams it will include pirates. All the 25-year-old Colorado high school teacher wants is to forget that her dead fiancé was a cheating scumbag. What she plans is a vacation diversion; what fate provides is Braedon, an intriguing surgeon. She finds herself drawn to him: his gentle humor, his love of music, and even his willingness to let her take him down during morning karate practices. Against the backdrop of the ship’s make-believe world and its temporary friendships, her emotions come alive. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, fear is an emotion, too. Unaware of the sensitive waters he navigates, Braedon moves to take their relationship beyond friendship--on the very anniversary Lyn came on the cruise to forget. But Lyn's painful memories are too powerful, and she runs off in a panic.<br />
<br />
Things are bad enough when the pair finds themselves on one of the cruise’s snorkeling excursions in American Samoa. However, paradise turns to piracy when their party is kidnapped. Lyn’s fear of a fairytale turns grim. Now she must fight alongside the man she rejected, first for their freedom and then against storms, sharks, and shipwreck.</div>

Elle Reinhardt loves people and has a gift for turning groups of strangers into friends. When she talks her best friend Lyn into taking a month-long Pacific cruise, Elle is in her element, gathering fellow passengers to her. But things go horribly wrong when a ship excursion ends in death and disaster at the hands of modern-day pirates. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Filled with her own emotional wounds from the experience, Elle tries desperately to buoy up the grieving loved ones as they wait for news on those lost at sea. Malcolm Armstrong, friend of one of the missing men, arrives to act as family spokesman. Elle knows it’s unreasonable, but she resents his presence. When Mal offers the strength she so desperately needs, will she be able to let go of her animosity and accept his support?<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Modern-day pirates took more than Jori Virtanen’s friends; they stole his face. Not only does the twenty-four-year-old former model have to confront months of reconstructive surgery, he discovers his previous life was as superficial as his looks. Up-and-coming talk show host Olivia Howard wants an interview. She, like the rest of the press, expects a hero, but Jori knows the truth. His beauty masks a beast. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In seclusion and evading the press, Jori struggles to make a new life as an artist. But he can’t hide from himself; more than his face is damaged. How can Jori possibly make amends for all that he’s broken? When Olivia finally tracks him down, he must decide if he can trust her. Could this unlikely woman be a key to freeing his heart and healing the beast?</div>

<span style="line-height: 17.5636348724365px; text-align: left;">Persephone "Sephie" Benson scoffs when her creative writing teacher throws that little gem out there. Maybe this advice would work for a professional skydiver or a baseball star or a ninja princess. It's not so great for a high school student who doesn't even know what to do with the rest of her life. Add in being the oldest of six girls, having Responsibilities with a capital R, and living in a town the size of a tick, and you've got a recipe for boring soup.</span></div>

One of her sisters plays a starring role in the local high school scandal. Even things with her best friend Joey aren't the same. As Sephie deals with the changes in her life, she finds that nothing is quite what she expects--and that sometimes, the most extraordinary life can be the one that seems the most ordinary.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 17.5636348724365px;">All Alphonse wants is a quiet summer at home before his final months at university. What he gets is a half-dead man on his doorstep. The stranger insists that the country is in danger and asks Alphonse to carry out his task of delivering a package to the leader of the country.</span><span style="line-height: 17.5636348724365px; text-align: left;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 17.5636348724365px; text-align: left;">Alphonse thinks the man might be a little delusional from his injury, but he reluctantly takes the package and boards a train toward the capital. When he’s attacked by knights, elite soldiers of the neighboring king, he realizes he’s in way over his head. </span></div>

<span style="line-height: 17.5636348724365px; text-align: left;">He’s rescued from the knights by Mairwyn, a mechanic traveling for work. Alphonse clashes with her instantly. She thinks he’s a clueless bookworm, and he finds her rude and cynical. He’s less than pleased when she decides to join him on his journey to the capital, but the longer Alphonse travels with Mairwyn, the more he learns about the haunted past she’s been running from for so long.</span></div>

Adam Crenshaw is tired of living in his little sister’s shadow. She wins everything, and he gets the leftovers. Big brothers are supposed to be the role models, right? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then one day, all that changes. Louie is a leprechaun who offers him all the luck he could possibly want—for a price. The offer is tempting, but Adam refuses to work with him. To teach him a lesson, Louie steals all of his luck, and Adam’s life is turned upside down. He now has a choice between giving in to the leprechaun’s demands, or losing everything that matters to him.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sydney lives her nightmares every night. While other teenagers are dreaming of boys or traveling to exotic places, she must run a staircase with no beginning or no end, or a terrible debt will never be paid.<br />
<br />
Just before her seventeenth birthday, the dreams change. She is no longer alone.<br />
<br />
But her nightmares don’t end when she wakes up. Her stepmother and stepsisters threaten to ruin everything she holds dear. She must protect the secret that both she and her father have magic or they will use it to their advantage.<br />
<br />
As Sydney learns to control her magic, what seemed impossible before—escaping her stepmother and those ever-present stairs—is now at her fingertips. When she learns the ultimate plan of her evil captor, Sydney must stop her at all costs, or she will forever be trapped inside her nightmares. </div>

Now stuck in a medieval land of castles and royalty, when Jenny learns that the queen has agreed to marry her off to the prince, it’s time to take matters into her own hands. She goes on a quest to find out who dragged her to this time while trying to keep from falling in love with either of the boys vying for her attention. </div>

<span style="text-align: start;">When barrel-racing champion Tamsin Tucker is seriously injured in an accident, her whole world crashes down around her. She is abandoned in a tiny Utah town, where her leg is amputated to save her life. Tamsin’s horse is gone, she has no family, and she feels God has forsaken her. From where she stands, prospects are bleak.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: start;">Through what she comes to recognize as a blessing from heaven, Tamsin finds friendship with those who assist in her recovery. Her nurse, Sarah, has her own set of problems, but a faith Tamsin can’t deny. Handsome doctor Travis Mayfield questions his belief in God until he witnesses divine intervention on Tamsin’s behalf.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: start;">Getting on her feet won’t be easy. But with a new-found purpose, the help of friends and of a man who adores her, and the matchless love of her Heavenly Father, Tamsin will forge a new life.</span><br />

<br />
Last Wednesday I got a message from my friend, Jenna, asking if I would like to go to California that weekend. Since I'm always up for an adventure, I said yes. And then asked why.<br />
<br />
We had been given the chance to blog about the Writers of the Future awards ceremony and interview people while we were there. I asked a few people what I should do, and their responses were, "Why is that even a question? GO!"<br />
<br />
Soooo ... Saturday night we (Jenna Eatough, DawnRay Ammon, and I) bundled up in Jenna's car and headed off to sunny California.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uUBqGcgm9mU/VTF0M7kDVdI/AAAAAAAAFCs/rtGA8vqnurk/s1600/IMG_6080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uUBqGcgm9mU/VTF0M7kDVdI/AAAAAAAAFCs/rtGA8vqnurk/s1600/IMG_6080.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
We showed up to the awards ceremony all dressed up, and we were pulled into the world of Writers of the Future. And it was awesome.<br />
<br />
Alexi Vandenburg met us and handed us our folders and brand new, signed versions of the Writers of the Future 2015 book. Then he led us around, showing us where everyone would be and when. He introduced me to Peter Wacks, Kevin J. Anderson, and many other big name people.<br />
<br />
On our way to find an ice pack for DawnRay (Red carpets can be tricky when they're hiding holes. Not good for heels! Or ankles), we lost her, but found our way to the dining room. She was seated with David Farland, his wife and daughter, and a few other people. Jenna and I went to sit with a few of the winning illustrators and ate dinner.<br />
<br />
The winners were excited to share where they were from and talked about the workshop (Something I'd like to attend someday). While they got pictures, I chatted with friends of the contestants.<br />
<br />
After dinner, we headed off to take pictures of people as they walked down the red carpet. It was awesome! I apologize for the fuzziness of any of the pictures.<br />
<br />

After the guests had finished on the red carpet, we moved into the theater for the ceremony. Everyone was so courteous and my favorite part was that we all got the same jokes. I loved it! The show was started with the "Voices of the Future" Anthem.</div>

It was followed by an amazing video that I wish I could show in this post. My jaw was dropped for most of it. It talked about the history and importance of writing and the science fiction world.</div>

She announced new judges for both the illustration and the writing contests, but I couldn't write fast enough to get all of the illustration judges. Nancy Kress and Brandon Sanderson are the new writing judges.<br />

William Pomerantz was our keynote speaker, and he was fantastic. He works on the Virgin Galactic, a ship that will make it possible for anyone to have their dream of going into space come true. He said that everyone has one wanted to go into space at least once in his lifetime.<br />
<br />
We are all also interested in the future. Fifty-four years ago in 1961, the first human flew into space. On the same day in 1981, NASA's first space shuttle took off. In those fifty-four years, five hundred and forty-seven people have been to space.<br />
<br />
William also mentioned that he learned hope through science fiction. It helped him to push through the best days and helped him through the hard days.<br />
<br />
He also mentioned that sometimes we're told our work is absurd, but we know better.<br />
<br />
We should help others on their journey as well. And when you discover that you have sparked a fire in someone, encourage them to follow their goals. You never know when they will be there for you, encouraging you on your way.<br />

And with that, the show was over. We all filed out into the reception area where we were allowed to speak with any of the guests and interview them. We were served little <span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">hors d'oeuvres and drinks while we talked. The winners of the contest were there to sign books for those who wanted them. </span></span><br />
