Sometimes Altering Life's Plans is the Best Solution


I'm doing fine today. I've been resting and I feel optimistic towards the agent search now. I decided it makes no sense to keep expecting things to turn out wrong before they do. I spent my entire life doing that. I should be very proud. My professional life is going great so far. Being a best selling author is really hard to get used to. It's not like I think of myself that way. I am of course proud but I am more interested in satisfying myself and living the life I want other than just the labels. But you need the labels in this business. It's how writers are identified.

I've had to change some things. I will (hopefully) start my next contest in October probably close to Halloween. Instead of doing a photo shoot I may just take a couple of photos. I don't think I have the time and I'm not prepared to do a big shoot right now. I will have to do that later on. Things just sneaked up on me because September is going so fast and I had all these things planned but other things popped up and I had to take care of them so...

Actually, I am excited about the agent search now. Before I was published I dread it. But I see a very big difference in how published authors are treated compared to unpublished when it comes to agents so that's good. I need to be positive because being negative isn't going to do any good. I'm just happy the people I love are all healthy and that I am able to live out my dreams. I wish all of you out there well. I'll pop in again soon. I know this blog wasn't about anything important but sometimes you need to jot down your thoughts. Hopefully you all find my opinions and outlook on things interesting. I try to make them be.

The photo is the movie poster of 2000's Charlie's Angels. I didn't really like this movie. It was boring overall. The fight sequences were good but that got tiresome after The Matrix and all the other films used the " floating in the air " thing to death. The acting in this movie is laughable. The dialogue sucked but if you like pretty women who can kick ass…it's for you.

This film is about women empowerment and because of that I appreciate it enough. I just kept wondering why they couldn't have a black one. I mean, you got Lucy Liu? Couldn't you have had a black or Hispanic one too? I think Queen Latifah would have been hot as an angel don't you? At least she'd be tough. Jennifer Lopez would have been good in it too. Hey if you can make Bernie Mac Bosley in the sequel can't you add a fourth, black angel?

But I hope this doesn’t give anyone ideas. Please no more sequels! That's what's wrong with the box office now.

Bye!

I agree. The movie was pretty boring. And if I see another poorly done remake or sequel I'll scream...seriously.
