Second Book Teaser

This video was quite an interesting project. I had several technical difficulties that I had to overcome and despite wanting to use Lightworks my computer couldn't handle it so I had to use my old friend Windows Movie Maker. If you'd rather, you can watch this trailer on youtube.

Book Trailer

 

It's finally here! I've been working on this for the past couple of months, designing logos and music clips, crafting special effects make-up and trying to figure out how to become a blonde, and this is what we came up with. You can also see this video on youtube .

A special thanks to Someday Monday Media for their help with this project.

Star Date: February 1, 2014

This is just a sneak peek at what I've been up to. I can't tell you what it is I'm working on, but just in case anybody cares or wants to guess here I am at a taping of the book trailer for my next piece.

Star Date: January 20, 2014 Disappointment

My parents always taught me that if I don't succeed at something the first time I need to get up, brush the dirt off my knees and try again. That being said I've been working on a book trailer for something I'm not going to talk about (oh the suspense) and needed a blonde. I don't have many friends so originally I was going to lighten my hair to blonde. Three weeks of lemon juice, chamomile tea and cinnamon bark essential oil later my hair is still the same color as it was last month. So I decided to resort to hydrogen peroxide, which is supposed to work great. (If you try to bleach your hair with peroxide, only use a 3% mix. So 3 ounces of peroxide in ten ounces of water) My hair is still the same color. I realized that a few months ago (September/Octoberish) I dyed my hair with a mixture of henna and beet juice. The purplish color that the beet juice added has mostly faded/washed out/bleached away, and I used some grocery store bulk henna that wasn't very high quality but nonetheless it has at least protected my natural color through this journey.
SO, a wig is going to be used instead. I'm super disappointed that it didn't work, but thrilled to report this new finding: don't try to bleach your hair four/five months after using henna because it probably won't work (especially if your hair is already reddish).

End Transmission.

Star Date: January 11, 2014 Surgery

As I get closer and closer to being done with my current project, I thought that I should share with everybody how important it is to be able to hold a piece of paper in your hands and mark it up as you read. I thought I was done with my story and I was ready to be done with it. Then I realized that there was still a lot of editing to be done, the first half of the novel was written when I was ages 16-18 so it

wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't ready to be printed. So
I used up 65 pages of printer paper and borrowed my dad's red pen and went at it. The changes in the story have been incredible. It's fluent and reads the way I think it should instead of sounding like a 16 year old venting pent up angst. These were a couple of my most marked up pages. i just wanted to remind any reader who is also a writer that the process is never done, and it is always a good idea to step back, put your editor hat on, and tear the piece up so you can sew it back together as a 2.0 instead of a beta. I use red pen because it is incredibly symbolic. I love making my work "bleed".

Star Date: December 31, 2013 Understanding a Modern Day Adaams

Growing up I loved Morticia Adaams. She was sexy, confident, madly in love with her husband, a witch, and incredibly strange. In high school I assumed that being like this fictional character meant dressing in black and being "misunderstood". I've been a "grown up" now for about 14 or 15 months now and at one point worried that the hippie I've become is not the girl who wanted to be an Adaams growing up. Once I started eating differently (try eating healthy while selling deep fried gas station food, it gets you some pretty interesting looks), not wearing make-up and being indifferent about commercially important holidays I realized that my soulmate and I truly do embody the Adaams family spirit. We believe that food is medicine. I put honey on all my cuts and burns and if I suspect something fungal or bacterial I'll slap a hunk of coconut oil on the infection, rub it in until the oil melts and go on my merry way.

The reason why I have made this change in my life has a lot to do with a friend of mine who has had an incredible experience healing herself with food (more on that later...like next year) and a Doctor named Natasha Campbell-McBride who discusses GAPS and confidently states that most disorders are related to the foods we eat. 

If you have a couple hours to spare (or an hour and then another hour some other day) please watch these videos. I find that they are very important and if nothing else it will help you (although I highly doubt anybody cares too much) understand why I live the way I do, I prepare everything at home from yeast for bread and soda to hummus to pizza sticks and it all stemmed from what this woman had to say.
