AAAAAAGH! Too young to see Gavin Degraw!!!

AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH! WHHHHHHHY?????? GAVIN DEGRAW IS COMING TO COUNCIL BLUFFS TO PLAY AT HARRAHS BUT YOU HAVE TO BE 21 TO GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!! WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH???????????????????? *&%^%^&^ IF IT WASN'T FOR HIS MUSIC SO MANY SCENES IN THE PORTAL HUNTER WOULDN'T EVEN EXISIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, I know, I sound like a major insane fan girl but I kid you not, I listened to all of his hits over and over and over and over writing my book. All I wanted to do is to see the man whose soul music inspired my creative mind so much. Ooooh well...I will pray for a next time but it would be so amazing if I could just tell him to his face that his passion fueled my own dreams and goals. Chester's theme song is Gavin Degraw's hit "In Love With A Girl". iTunes claims I've listened to the song 1000 times while I typed on "The Portal Hunter." Hey, Chester's in love with Jade. It was his theme song.

*siiiiiiiiiigh*

Perhaps I can twitter him or send a letter or email to let him know he inspired me. Its just so frusterating to be soooo close to going to his concert and possibly meeting him...only to be seperated by one year on the required year. Any suggestions???

Blooper Day and music links

Have you just ever had a week where you feel like you've been kicked in the guts? I am having that week totally. So, I went on to youtube to watch movies to make myself giggle and think I should pass on the laughs to others as well. When I'm depressed I love to watch my fave Disney movies. So, imagine my delight to discover bloopers to some of them! I dare you to keep a straight face...I sure as shell couldn't. First up on the list, bloopers from the lion king. Oh thats right. Even the King of Lions has issues remembering their lines from time to time.

And so, on to book matters.

I'm working on the second book of Glaxion series. On chapter 16 finally, yaaaay! So question for fellow writers out there, does anyone ever get inspired by music? I'll hear a song play over and over and over in my mind with a particular character and what not until it becomes either their theme song or the inspiration to a scene setting up in the book and that song will become so critical to my plots that I HAVE t listen to it over and over while I type or hand write out ideas. So just for some fun I thought I'd post up some of my characters theme songs and let that kinda express who they are:

Empress Jade Raidon (main character):

and surprising enough, this too

but most of all this

Chester Wilson (main character):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvxRMZBliyg  sorry, Chester xD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SKFwtgUJHs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZC5FUbZpGU  Also  fun fact I have listened to this song 1000 times through-out the making of the first book The Portal Hunter. So this song is the book's theme song as well.

And a song to explain their relationship:

So, now that I am working on the second book, there's been four  new songs that have been drilling in my head that are helping with scenes:

Just for safety measures, I do not own any of these songs, I am merely inspired by them, nor do I own any of the video clips I posted.
Enjoy!

The book signing was simply AMAZING!!!!!

Ooooh wow today was so flipping amazing!! So I got there about 30 minutes early tp set up my books. The table was already set up and all I had to do was arrange my books and then I sat there chatting with the awesome employee's of Krypton Comics. I have to admit that it was slow until about noon and though thats when my book signing was supposed to start I totally began to secretly hyperventlate. "Is anyone going to even be interested in my books?!" "What if they dont like it???" and etc. Than promptly at 12:02 a very kind and interesting gentleman walked in and asked if I was the author and he'd like to buy my book.
I almost passed out from pure happiness!!!! My hand was shaking when I signed his book! So then we chatted for a bit and then soe old friends of mine came in and we got to catch up and they bought a book as well!!!!!!

To quote a friend, I was spitting up rainbows I was so excited and happy! On the inside I was like Mort from Madagascar, skipping and jumping about going "LA LA LA LA!"

So there was a magic card game going on and I got too meet some amazing and fun guys and one of them, who had been saving up for a game, bought my book!! Thank you Alex!!!!!!!!
I also got to dork out about anime's with them...this group seemed impressed that a girl liked anime's....even more impressed that the animes I like aren't romances xD.

I also got to meet two other fellow writer's who had some very interesting story's and plots. One of them is published, his book is called Whitestripe's Tale, I believe, and is available on Lulu.com. Tom was his first name, though I cant find the slip of paper that tells me his last name xD Fail on my part, haha.

So on top of it all, Krypton bought me lunch!!! THANK YOU AWESOME PEOPLE!!!!

So all in all I sold about 6-8 copies of my book, aaaand the radio played my favorite songs, aaaaaaaaaaand, remember how I mentioned I had wrote a fan letter to the TMNT of IDW Comics? Well after my book signing I bought the newest copy and MY LETTER MADE IN WITH THE FAN MAIL!!!!
*insert fangirl scream*

Oh yeah. I had a GREAT day.

God Bless!!!!!!
