Beauty and the Beast: Lost in a Book by Jennifer Donnelly My rating: 5 of 5 stars (available at amazon.com) Publisher:   Disney Press; Dlx Org edition (January 31, 2017)  ISBN 1484780981 Death and Love have a bet. Love bets that Belle will win the Beast's heart and that she will fall in love with him in return. Death bets that the Beast will fail.

When Belle discovers the book and enters its pages she'll have to chose between living for herself in the perfect world of "Nevermore" or living for others in the reality of the Beast's Enchanted Castle, a place where she has little control over her own life...

What are Words?

What are words, but portals to other worlds, Where my imagination spins out of control, Help I've fallen down this rabbit hole, Into the great unknown. Don't rescue me, Just let me be, These words have forever transformed me!   

Just an Update and an Explanation (So, Maybe it's Not All That Simple)

Hello!            Sorry I have been away so long. I promise there are explanations. A few things that have kept me from posting: *Work *I just graduated a junior college with an A.S. in Digital Video for film editing! * Last week, I finally finished the first draft of my main WIP, (Sybil's Tale), after working on it for two years and four months. *Family Life So, yes, a lot of things have kept me busy, but I honestly didn't plan on being away for so long.  Now that I have the first draft of my WIP finished, I can, (hopefully), work more on "Drops of Inspira", which is in the plotting stage of novelization.  I'm hoping to have a snippet of it to share with you all soon, but I'm also working on world building this Summer for my main WIP.  I've told myself I can't touch "Sybil's Tale" until November where I will happily prepare it for the second draft.  In the meantime, my siblings have been pressing me to do some Rory'...
