Armchair BEA




Though I can't attend BEA this year, I was excited I can be a part of this group!

Here's the link: http://www.armchairbea.com/2013/05/armchair-bea-is-coming-prep-your.html

To start off with they wanted us to introduce ourselves. Here's the five questions I answered:


1. Please tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? How long have you been blogging? Why did you get into blogging?

My name is Kim Baccellia and I've been blogging since 2006 after I took a YA writing class from author Lauren Barnhold. She told us it was a must when taking her class. I was hooked. I've always loved writing and blogging is perfect!

Where in the world are you blogging from? Tell a random fact or something special about your current location. Feel free to share pictures.

I'm blogging from Southern California. I'm a 25 minute drive from Disneyland.



And I'm 37 miles away from a nuclear plant. **I found this out after that one scary tsunami back in 2010 in which we were stuck in the middle of the Pacific Ocean while it happened. Scary




What are you currently reading, or what is your favorite book you have read so far in 2013?

Wow, this is hard! Right now reading THE ELITE by Kiera Cass which I'm totally loving. My favorite book so far? Really hard to say. One that I did love had to be FAT ANGIE by E.E. Charlton-Trujillo

Tell us one non-book-related thing that everyone reading your blog may not know about you.

I really like escargot. And hate peppers.


If you could eat dinner with any author or character, who would it be and why?



Daemon from the Lux series. He's nom worthy!


What literary location would you most like to visit? Why?

Hands down Paris, France.

One of my favorite series has to be this one:




As a matter of fact this location is where my one character Jordan Lake finds herself in my second book in the GODDESSES series.

Week #2 Revisions

Image
"I am hard at work on the second draft...Second draft is really a misnomer as there are a gazillion revisions, large and small, that go into the writing of a book." -Libba Bray Hi, everyone!  How did you do with your goals for last week?  I admit, I wasn't as good as I should have been.   But remember: Now that school and scoring tests is over, I can concentrate more on my writing. I noticed a number of you are working on revisions so I thought I'd make that our theme for this week. Is this you? Do you dread revising? Or do you have revision angst? I'm kind of in the middle.  I've been known to spend forever just on one paragraph to get it right. I love this other quote: "I've found the best way to revise your own work is to pretend that somebody else wrote it and then to rip the living sh*t out of it." -Don Roff In the book THE WRITER'S BOOK OF WISDOM 101 RULES FOR MASTERING

Week #1 Motivation

“You can sit there, tense and worried, freezing the creative energies, or you can start writing something . It doesn't matter what. In five or ten minutes, the imagination will heat, the tightness will fade, and a certain spirit and rhythm will take over.” – Leonard Bernstein Welcome to: I admit it.  This last month I started off with the right intentions but my one part-time job held me back from doing all I wanted to do. I know, I know. For today I'll be using something out of THE POCKET MUSE by Monica Wood for an idea on how to help kick that muse into working. ...Set an egg timer for forty-five minutes, and don't get out of the chair until the timer dings.  Even if you sit starting at the page the entire time, you're ingraining a habit... What are some ways the rest of you help get the motivation feeling back? Remember I'm cheering for you! Also share what your weekly goals are this week.  Don't be shy! My goal is to finis
