Writing exercises

I really wanna share this. i'm writing a book. and the funniest thing is : my story emerged by a random character generator (http://writingexercises.co.uk/index.php).
I was having problems finding a matter to write about and discovered this amazing generator. so i did it! so.... what I've got was : an aggressive, 19-year-old woman who comes from a wealthy background, lives in a converted barn and tends to be a little paranoid :)
So i had my character but yet .... it was missing something so i garbed a notebook and a pen i went to visit my younger siblings! My brother a wonderful little boy with 7 years old and with a lot of imagination. and my sister, a beautiful young woman who doesn't want to care about anything, age os 15 is hard! I told them about my story and my brother immediately wanted to help, my sister was dragged :)
my brother wanted to choose the characters name. so the 19 years old woman is named Emma Stilton. my sister wanted a romance. So i thought! Fine! I like it! my brother decided that her romantic pair should be named as : Thiago Blocksberg! i was laughing to dead! this names come up from cartoons, but it was fine! :) and so i started my writing!soon i'll publish my book!

Chesapeake Bay Saga by Nora Roberts

I read this this collection a few years ago . It were the first books I read written by Nora Roberts . The first book of the series "Sea Swept " was offered by my aunt. At first I looked at the book strangely because i didn't knew the author. But it was love at first sight.
I must say that I was in love with the story of Quinn brothers in the first book. And was the trigger to fall in love by the stories of the author. Seth's history intertwined with the romance of each brother is wonderful . The four books evolve in a logical and coordinated manner and leaves us wanting for more . Each brother has a backgriund history of troubled childhood before being adopted by the Quinns and even become part of the Quinn family. The first three books mainly focus on the adjustment difficulties of Seth. The life he had with his mother was very problematic and the vision he has of family is quite erroneous. The adaptation of the Quinn brothers is also present , of course , and it's quite fun to read as they evolve with Seth. The fights that the brothers have to face each other , concerned always with the new family member. It's a lovelly story!
"Sea Swept " is about Cameron Quinn. A champion boat racer, that loves champagne and women. But when his father dies he have to go home, learn to live again with his brothers and caring for a wayward child. Of course he will also have to learn to deal with the social worker in charge of the case of Seth that lets you completely KO!
“Rising Tides” is about Ethan Quinn, who shared the love for the bay with his father. Ethan wants to make the family boatbuilding business a success. It is also about the love story betwen Ethan and Grace. A lovely, heartbreaking love story.
“Inner Harbor” is abou Philip. A man full of class who like good wine and expensive suits that fall in love by a pretty stranger that shows by the boatworks where he and his brothers work.
“Chesapeake Blue” is about Seth. Seth Quinn is a successful artist, that still battles between the feeling of keeping away his false mother of his family and to ask them for help. It also is the love story between Seth and Drusilla Whitcomb Banks.



The breeds by Lora Leigh

Well, i must say i'm entirely addicted to this series of books, i've already read most of the books of this collection. I don't actually remember how and when i discovered this author and her amazing collection of books. I really like the way she writes.
The way her stories evolve and off course the romance between the characters! Im truly in love with the romance between all the characters. The story that involves the characters , the beginning of the breeds , the council and all the violence and all the inhuman acts that are portrayed in the books made me want to read more and more. And what fascinated me most was the fact that the story could be true. I mean, the science evolves ever more and more, and human cruelty , unfortunately , too.
I never enjoyed reading series that have many books , but this fascinated me so much that I've read more than twenty . I could never pick a favorite one. I like all of them, one more than others, but i like all of them. This will be kind of the collections that when it ends i'll be broken heart.
I will share the titles I already read:

  • Tempting the Beast”
  • The man within”
  • Elizabeth's Wolf ”
  • Kiss of Heat ”
  • Soul Deep ”
  • The Breed Next Door ”
  • Megan's Mark”
  • Tanner’s Scheme”
  • Wolf's Hope”
  • Jacob's Faith”
  • Aiden's Charity”
  • In a Wolf's Embrace”
  • A Jaguar's Kiss”
  • Mercury's War”
  • Coyote's Mate”
  • Bengal's Heart”
  • Lion's Heat”
  • Styx's Storm”
  • Primal_Kiss ”
  • An Inconvvenient Mate”
  • Rule Breaker”

I loved the love story between Callan and Merinus Maybe because it was the firts book i read. Taber and Roni too, it was quite desperate to read the second book! “The Breed Next Door ” is one of my favourite too, Tarek is quite a man and Lyra is a lioness! “Styx's Storm”, “Bengal's Heart”, “Lion's Heat” and "Rule Breaker" are especial to me because i waited to read them anxiously.

Hope you like the post :)

50 shades of grey

So i read the three books, and went to see the movie two days ago, and the movie as it should be, was super different , that would have to be! I was a little sad because of some important details were not present in the film. 
The fact that the film was a bit confusing and for those who have not read the books the story is poorly explained and incomplete , implying that Mr. Grey is simply crazy and the story is not so.
I must say that annoys me those people quite arrogant who say the movie is an aberration and that it sucks, because half of the people didn't read the books . 
The movie was made much more romantic and less sexual what is perfectly understandable , and watched separately from the book is a good movie. Never a reader is pleased when the film is too much different from the book. 
I am eager to see the other films!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me writing

The House

The property seemed melancholy . The wind was light but the trees swayed in a harmonious way . In the distance , the house began to appear. The car moved along the narrow path that led to the gate, passed on and the sun shone giving the house a wonderful air.
She smiled , finally she was going to buy a house . She had seen the property on the internet but at live was much better. The seller stopped the car and both left. The woman followed him faithfully . Around her the atmosphere was splendid, flowers surrounded the house . Flowers of every color and shape . she noticed some yellow roses near the gate and imagined her self smelling them with her little nose. How wonderful! She followed the seller to the door of the house, he was explaining the history of the house and she listened intently . The air was smelling like fresh flowers and she felt inspired immediately ! They went inside the house and she held up her breath . Her brown eyes scanned the house . It was magnificent ! The walls were high , freshly painted white , the smell of paint still lingered . The floor was white tile which would facilitate her life in the matters of cleaning. The windows were made of wood and were recently restored. She felt excited because the previous owner had arranged a few things before decided to sell the property which would make her life easier enough.
The house was only one story and the lobby was great. she looked to her right and saw a metal stairs that lead to a door , the seller explained that was the attic. The doors of the rooms were all open what gave her the impression that the house had good lighting . she looked back to be able to analyze the entry door. It was dark wood . The walls were high and the windows did it justice . They were beautiful , tall that also hinder its cleaning, but still beautiful. she turned again. The seller began introducing the divisions .


In front was the kitchen that was ported to the garden behind the house. The living room and the dining room were together and had also doors toward the side of the house. They entered the room and that was a great divide . She saw two sliding doors placed under a beautiful stone arch that divided the room and the room behind them . The seller opened the door and she immediately thought there would be her library. The division had two huge windows that gave an immense light to the division and a kind of mistic charming . Through the windows she could see a piece of the garden. The room and the library occupied the left side of the house on the other side were the bedrooms. The seller informed her it was three . There was a bathroom between the kitchen and the library. It was not very big but it was reasonable sized. So were the rooms, all of nearly equal size taking the last , next to the kitchen . Had a private bathroom and two closets on the wall that were high to the roof, equaly to the window between them . The woman went there and spent her little hands , on white wooden cabinet . Under the window was a padded mobile two-door and she imagined herself sitting there reading one of her books or looking at the garden. The cabinet doors were made of glass and she would possibly put there some curtains inside, or maybe not. She smiled with all her plans . They go to see the kitchen, which pleased her greatly. It was spacious and the doors to the garden were in good condition , since the porch needed a generous work . The kitchen had in the middle an island , a beautiful solid wood table with two high and round stools to accompany her . It finally went to the attic , the seller went up first and she later. The attic was spacious . Had several windows and the ceiling was high , it could be done there other division . The woman went to the window to look at the garden of the house , she saw a small house , possibly to put away garden tools . The seller said it would give her space and time so she could decide got and down . She thanked .
She ponderer up all the pros and cons of the house. She will have to do some work, especially in the attic stairs , her long legs did not get along with those stairs . she grabbed her blonde hair and tied it into a ponytail . It pleased her that all the furniture in the house were white, and sink bathroom also . There she could relax and write without the hassle of the city, she could even adopt a dog. she had always been insecure and undecided , but she was firm in buying a house , and that one pleased her . It was near town, she would not have to travel far to the publisher or to shop. she could even buy a summer chair and mount it in the garden, in order to tan her clear skin .
She was determined , she would buy the house .
