Rambling Writes

Hello Bloggers! I know I haven't been here lately, so I decided to start posting frequently again. I was just at the point where I was blogging and no one was reading. So I just stopped. I know... great solution, right? Well then I realized that in order to have people read your blog, you need to blog! It was staring me in the face the whole time and I didn't see it. I do regret not being on. I haven't been on to talk about my Mondays and the stories that go with them, the books I have been reading, or any other interesting story. But, Rambling Writes is back, and he's staying.

First, let's start off with how I started my day today. Lately, I have wanted to get some sun. I am very white and hate sitting next to someone tanner then me. It's not so much that I care that they are more tan, but when you use me for comparison, you see how white I am. So I went out and intended to tan all day (it is really sunny here in Illinois). I lasted an hour before I was sweaty, my heart beat was elevated, and I felt like I was going to die. Baby steps...right? SO I will have to go out more often to get acquainted with the beloved ball of fire.

Second, I need to tell you about the next book I am reading. Of course as a writer, I tend to get way too involved with books. My pen and paper tend to get jealous. It is an ongoing affair that I cannot help but keep doing. Right now, I am reading City of Glass by Cassandra Clare. This is the third book in the Mortal Instruments Series. I haven't been on lately, so I couldn't tell you when I was reading the first two books: City of Bones and City of Ashes. All of the books are awesome and are going to be made in to a movie in the near future. I am not much of a vampire, demon, angel, werewolf kind of guy at all. I steer far from Twilight (no offense Twilight readers, I condone your pack together). I am more of a Harry Potter guy, but then again, who isn't these days? The Mortal Instruments Series is an interesting read. A lot of battles and twists are placed throughout the novel. The author writes in a way that anyone can visualize the characters and their surroundings. Some things are a bit predictable and the dialogue is not its strong point, but I recommend that anyone should read it and give it a try. It isn't the worst novel. That was my short and sweet review by the way. Simple. To the point. If anyone would like to read, check out, or buy these books, just click the widget on the left taking you to Amazon.



Third, as for my writing, I am having a little trouble. I am doing fine with the whole writing part. I like twists in books and that is exactly what mine is filled with. Not to many like a soap opera, but not none like the TV guide. Haha. Was that a good enough analogy? Well the only problem I am having is the title. I want it to be a series of 4, but what do you even call a series of 4 books these days? I want it to have a series name, and then individual names. Hopefully, my title block will fix itself.

Fourth, I wanted to start something on this blog with music. My song pick of the day is: Somewhere a Clock is Ticking by Snow Patrol. Go listen to it. It is awesome. A little depressing, but great lyrics!

Well, that is all I have to say for today. Those were my Rambling Writes. I hope everyone enjoys their Wednesday. Remember, today is the half point in the week. Only 2 more days after this! Drop me comment, question, suggestion, etc. I will try to get back to you immediately.

Rambling Writes is back.

Happy Monday everyone. I hope everything is going good. Out here in Illinois the weather is just crappy. Grey skies, fog, and mush. Depressing weather puts me in a depressing mood, you know? Has anyone ever had that feeling before?

I wish I had a lot to say today but I don't. All I can say is how "Debbie downer" this Monday is. I really do hate Mondays. Getting up in the morning was like walking through quick sand, then I have to sit through hour-long classes all day. Woo, am I beat. Let's hope that all of your Monday's are going better then mine.

Anyways, today I was looking to see if I won a book giveaway contest on blooger (I didn't) and I came across an idea. What do you think of the idea of me having a book giveaway contest? It wouldn't be anything to bad, just pulling a name out of a hat. Tell me what you all think.

I am still reading The Knife of Never Letting Go and let me assure you, it is a GREAT book. I recommend looking it up and reading it. I only have 100 pages left. :)

Did anyone catch the Oscars last night? I am more of a Golden Globe Awards kind of guy, but I still watched it. I was so giddy that The Hurt Locker won. Don't get me wrong, Avatar was an AWESOME movie, but I really enjoyed The Hurt Locker. I also was really happy when Sandra Bullock won for the Blind Side. That was also a very good, heart-breaking movie.

Well, back to my book that I am writing. Maybe that will lift my spirits. I really hope so. Have a great Monday everyone!

The day is winding down, and as it is I found a great blog. It is called Teens Read and Write. This site has the best reviews for movies and books. Plus, they do awesome book giveaways! The blog is very proffesional and the admin is very nice.



I suggest that everyone goes to this site and becomes a follower. Reading the posts can make anyone in a great mood.

Well that is all that I am saying today. I am going to go watch Good Hair, and after that read some more. Happy Saturday!

It just FEELS like the perfect day. It is finally the weekend, and not a wintry weekend either. 41 Degrees here! This is so much different from the 10 degrees weather that the Chicago suburbs have been dealing with. The drastic change makes it feel like summer! Woo... I need to stop getting ahead of myself. Only a couple of days ago it was the first day of spring. We're not even close to the beaches, sunscreen, and swimming. But being halfway there isn't half bad... right?

What else makes this the perfect weekend, you ask? Well I am reading an amazing book. It has been awhile since I have stumbled upon one of those. The last truly good book I read was the Maze Runner, and before that was The Hunger Games. Now, I am reading The Knife of Never Letting Go, By: Patrick Ness. I am only on page 150, but it is already full of twists and turns. It is the first book in the series. I suggest you check it out.



WOOT! I am finally picking up that pencil again. I haven't been writing as much as I usually do. It just feels weird. It feels like a part of me is just sleeping, trying to claw its way out. Well I am letting it out and writing. I am working on my first book right now. I have outlined how I want it to go, how the characters are going to be, and other twists that will be throughout the book. All I can say is that it is a young adult Fiction.

I think that is all. But come on, doesn't that just equal a perfect day? I hope all of you have a great Saturday and weekend.

Hello blogger, it is nice to finely meet you. I have tossed around the idea in my head on if I should meet you. As you can see, I have decided it is time.

I am new to this site, and still in the works of creating a blog that meets my standards. So I do not have any followers yet. When I do have some followers, this goes out to you-hi.

I want to talk. I have people to talk to. I have family to talk to. But, I want to talk to the world. I want to share my day, my thoughts, my passions, and hates. This is where I want it to happen. Some days I might write once, some I might not even write at all, and some I might write a couple of times that day; that is of course if I am in a good mood. :)

It was nice to get acquainted. I hope to write many posts in the future, have some followers, and have a great time doing all of this.

Jake.
