"Write drunk. Edit sober."

Thank you Ernest Hemingway for the useful words that I've recently applied to my writing career. Your advice actually works. Sometimes.  :-)

Anyway, it's currently 3 AM CST and I've just realized two things: 1) Readers are effin awesome. Like, fucking incredible.  2) I need to change my book's cover. Again...Like, there needs to be a raven on there somewhere, or a tattoo, or weed leaves. Or, I need a new cover model altogether. LOL

But seriously...It's bothering me again. Hmmm.

Until I figure that out..back to the writing...Did anyone else notice that we don't even know how old Carter Black is? No? Just me? :-)

"Ravens Always Come Back..."

Sooo, first things first: THANK YOU to each and every person who has read Beautiful Failure so far! The response has been overwhelming and I'm totally grateful for the fact that you've let Emerald and Carter into your lives :-) I've met some of the most amazing bloggers while on the blog tour (Special thanks to Mary Elizabeth of Mary Elizabeth's Crazy Book Obsession) and I can't wait to finish my online collage of all the amazing reviews that were written :-)

Second, why didn't anyone tell me that the old cover (while pretty in an enlarged state) resembled the perfect example of fugliness with extra shit on the side as a thumbnail? Like, seriously, you could've told me...LOL! I've changed it for now, but I'll probably change it again so...Yeah :-)

Third, someone asked me when the second book was coming out earlier and I was like, "I'm supposed to be writing a second book? Really? I was getting pretty attached to doing nothing..." Soon, my friend. Soon. :-)

My life has been a fucking mess (A. Fucking. Mess.) over the past ten days because of randomness I'll get into later this week, but the best part has been receiving the awesome emails/messages from you...THANK YOU. They mean the world to me :-)

I'm honestly honored and humbled to be on your bookshelf, and I hope you'll have me again.

Hope your holidays were FANTASTIC!

Weed & Alcohol are all I need to get through this. ONE. DAY.

One more day until Beautiful Failure!

"I know exactly how I'm going to get rid of this BITCH..." TWO. DAYS.

I won't apologize for anything I say, anything I do, or anything I've done.

It is what it is.
 
Two days until Beautiful Failure.

"I'm not trying to make any new friends. Fuck off." THREE. DAYS.

THREE DAYS until Beautiful Failure :-)

Emerald Anderson.

Queen Bitch.

Beautiful Failure.

Four Days left.

"Smoking always helps me think about my waste of a life..." FIVE DAYS....

"This shit is for the birds..." SIX DAYS

Six days left until you get to meet Emerald Anderson in Beautiful Failure! :-)

SEVEN DAYS

Seven days until a different type of heroine lands on your Kindle :-)

"You can pay for school, but you can't buy 'class'..." (EIGHT DAYS!!!)

I'll probably elaborate on that quote a little later, but for now...8 days until QUEEN BITCH Emerald Anderson arrives via Beautiful Failure! <3

Vodka. On the rocks. Early.

It's that type of day...

That's all.
