NO Takers? Ok I'll please myself.

On my last blog I asked for input regarding what to write about so that I can please or at least interest the masses. The response have been staggering. NONE...well except the one from Facebook... you know who you are Big D. So, I guess I am simply talking to myself with a few stop-on-by blog enthusiasts who read me now and then. I will continue what I have done this entire time and that is please myself with my writing. That seems to work, well for me anyway.
 
I am a writer not only of this blog but of books. I have finished my second poetry book Veneficus and got my proof copy yesterday. I am so excited. It looks great and I have hardly any changes to be made which means that I will be able to have it available for sale in the near future. Of course I shared the book with my sister who was here this weekend visiting. She laughed because there is a poem that was inspired by her from one of her many visits. It seems my sister did something to her feet awhile back and caused herself to have a black toe. Ewww is right it was down right nasty but it did inspire my poem Ode to the Black Toe which has been dedicated to her in my new book.
 
Now that this poetry book is done I was asked what my next project will be. It's a book that has taken me more than twenty years to write, the title is The Great Chase. I have about ten chapters in and find it difficult to get all of the information down on paper. My thoughts and ideas come flooding in and my poor fingers just cannot keep up. I am a decent typist but when it comes to writing a book it's a little different than simply typing a letter or taking dictation. You can read a sample of the book on my website at www.jennipherdallas.com.
 
I am looking forward to writing a novel verses poetry only because it will be something new. I am on the hunt for a good editor and hope to finish this long awaited novel (well I've waited to be done for a long time) by the end of this year. So those of you who are interested, visit my website.
 
 
Until next time...

Inspiration and help

I have been writing my book and am getting to that point where I need a little inspiration. So I started watching Hauntings on the History channel and saw some unsettling points of view. I am a firm believer in ghosts and I am saddened and angered by those who do not believe. Not everyone HAS to believe what I think or what other people think about ghosts but have some respect for their opinion. Don't just call them crazy or say that they don't think they know what they saw. I was so disturbed I changed the channel and started watching Medium. So after a good solid hour I felt better and got the inspiration I needed. I started writing again. Then I realized what direction my writing went and had to laugh. Since its snowing out I knew I was going to need a lot more input to put my mind in the right frame of mind so I sought the help of my Wii. I spent an hour killing zombies in my Resident Evil game and started writing again. As a writer trying to become known this is the horr...

Captive Audience

At the end of each month I like to see if anyone in the world is actually reading what I have to say or am I just using this blog as a method to get away from all the voices in my head. I was surprised. I happen to be big in Russia and Sweden. Yes, my dear friends in the US do read my blog too but the Swedish beat you this month. So I all my wonderful readers in Russia, I just wanted to say: Спасибо за то, что читать мой blog. Для информации обо мне, сумасшедшем авторе, посещают мой вебсайт в www.jennipherdallas.com . For my Swedish friends: Tack för avläsning min blogg. För information om mig, de galna författaren, besöka min hemsida på  www.jennipherdallas.com Gee I hope I got that right : )  Keep reading I promise to stay crazy! Until next time...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
