CAP!

Its CAP! So, I'm still at work. I cleaned a bit and by that I mean I walked around and put things back where they should be. Tided up. :P

So I'm reading 'Push'. Movie was called Precious. I'm sure everyone know the name. Apparently it was a good movie, but I plan on reading the book before watching the movie. So far so good. A little on the different side and saying that I mean, I've never really read such a graphic book. It's not too too graphic, but where my jaw drops when I read some parts. It's aspiring though, how the character's poor and uneducated and has motivation to learn. Her view point is original and it's interesting how the whole book's written.
Since shes not that great in writing, the book is poorly written. But it improves as the character does!


Going out and hanging with Baker tonight. That will consist of tea drinking and good chats!


>Wrote some Chapter 3 for a bit. It totally took a different course of conflict. Which I guess is good? I also think it's good that I'm writing everyday!<<

The Echoes Title Page

If you check out my website your'll see the original "The Echoes" cover. This time (and I don't know if it'll be the cover) we're taking an actual picture and fiddling around with it to see what it'll look like. Here's the original of the picture we're creating:

And then we'll change it into something dark! Have the background all black and the words 
"The Echoes
Don't let the evil consume you"

Dumdumdum. Just wait OKAY!?

Work work work

So Aug. I didn't get a whole lot of hours since everyone was going on vacation or just impossible to get ahold of! But now with Steptmber fast approuching I'll probably get my hour back up. I'm at work now, still full of gross dry sweat since I taught RPM for Karen this morning! Can't wait to shower!

Went to Chapter with the boyfriend for lunch and I might get the book 'Writers Digest. Guide to getting published' since my way clearly isn't working lol. I won't stop trying though! Just wait till the Bookfest in November! That'll be where I'll get my foot in the door!

I'm working on Colton, re-vamped him. Now I actually like having his character around. OH! During editing my first chapter, I ended up going off in another direction then the oringinal, which I think is for the better. I had a dream last night that I received a rejection email which isn't uncommon for me lol BUT this one, the woman just lashed out! Saying my book is a failure. So I got sad then more determinded than ever to proof the lady wrong! lol. Checked my email, no rejection....yet lol.

Client should be in now. G2G!

(Spell check not working FYI)

Update!

There was NO tornado. BUT it was pretty cool driving with Baker in pouring rain and then sudden it just stops. Then pours again! We hung out made tea and had an unexpected visit from her uncle. Bakers started a diet. Cave Man Diet.
You eat things they would've eaten like meat and vegetables.

>>Heard my dad yell just now...??<<

Anyways. So I tried the diet the next day. Breakfast time and I look in the fridge and have no idea what I'm going to eat while on this diet. Egg? I love eggs on english muffins....and toast. I made an omelette. <<Apparently Chrome has no idea what that word is...>>

For lunch. A drum stick and I'm not talking about the chicken. I talking Ice cream cone with chocolate and nuts. Diet = FAIL.

I guess I shouldn't get right into it tho, completely cutting breads and dairy. It says it'll shock the system and that I should slowly get into it. Therefore Drumsticks are okay...right? lol.



Dummmmdumdudm
Did a whole lot of nothing today. Which was nice for a change. I MIGHT go to the cornfest since I did my makeup and look awesome and such. But at the same time it'll suck to find parking, suck to pay 5$ to get in, suck to not spend ANYTHING and suck for going all the way out to Tecumseh for barely any fun.
Our Lady Peace is playing tho..... bah oh well.


FYI. I redesigned my character Colton. WILL POST SOON. promise :)

Tornado!

On Sunday evening around 4pm a tornado hit little old Godrich Ontario. Which is crazy since there hasn't been one THAT bad in eons. It was an f2?! Now, today their saying for Windsor that we got watches up for a tornado....but there isn't a cloud in the sky....Makes me wonder if that's how Godrich's day started. BAM tornado strikes!

The twister is right in the main part of town, ripping off the tops of stores and destroying a church that has been around there for years!


I'll keep ya posted about the apparent tornado we might get today. Weathermen predicted the storms to start at 3pm...oh look its 4:30pm!! lol. 
Boyfriends at work today, so I'll either edit or go see BAKER!!!

Cheers!

EDIT

When I went to Canfit is actually did some editing. Got carried away and pretty much took chapter two in a different direction :P So tonight after the movies I'm hoping to get back on it and continue the corrections and I'll actually have an ADDED chapter!

Wish me luck! Here's some pics to check out!


Can Fit Pro

This past weekend I went up to Toronto for the CanFitPro conferance! It was a ton of fun but next year I'll have to be a bit more organized. The Saturday we left on the train at 530am and got there at ten. We didn't have a ton of time because I didn't know where anything was since it was my first time in Toronto. We got to the metro conferance centre, registered then Lauren left to go see if she could check into the hotel. I didn't want to go with her in case it took too long to walk to the hotel and then not enough time to get back to the conference from my first lecture at 12. So I lugged around my stuff (backpack, suitcase and purse) and I only ended up going to two lectures! I have no time and was sooo pooped from waking up so early.

Walking back to the hotel took 30mins and Lauren was able to check in earlier then expected. It was 4 by the time I got to the hotel and then we had to get ready for the awards gala. Ate, got dressed and drank a bit since drinks were expensive. (We ended up buying two down there anyway). Lauren didn't get her award so that was a bummer. By the time the dancing came around we went back up stairs to drink more and that's when my six beers FINALLY hit me. I passed right out and she was tired too so called it a night....11:30pm lol.


Sunday I was just relaxing, Lauren left around two to go on the boat for top 500 and I worked out. The Westin has a pretty cool workout area/pool area. I was there for about an hour then went back to the room watched the storm rage outside. When it stopped I decided I'd go to the train station early. Union station is HUGE! It's pretty cool. Everything was interesting to see.

Went home and SLEPT. Next year, I'm doing the LMI day (which I missed out on since I didnt get what I had to do) and going for the FULL four days. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday!

Free Afternoon and Vball

For some reason last night I couldn't sleep. I stayed up until 2am and still had trouble. Funny time since I own 2am Publishing lol. I signed a new client today, sold 100 sessions which is great since the one ex-client I had, her contracts going into reversal so money is take off my paycheck. But this new client evens it out. There an incentive this month, most sessions sold gets an iPAD. How cool would that be?!  So far I got 100. There's another lady wanting 144 (a year) and I'm hoping to get Liz in for 100 and M for a 100. so I'll be at 344?! Alisa asked Katie (our regional) what the average is and she said around the 300-400 spot. So my fingers are crossed! By the end of the month I hope to win that ipad!!

plzplzplzplz

I don't have a client now until 3. Tan till 230, work for an hour then vball for six. I'm hoping to finish Divergent so I can start focusing on editing again :D

The First!

Okay, so I've tried to do this before but never kept it up. This time I'm hoping to pull through and keep a blog about my journey into the "Published Author" world.

I wrote a book when I was seventeen back in 2007. I sent it to how many agents and publishers but it never took off. Assuming it was because of the whole Vampire craze I took a step back and focused on getting another career that will make me money. Went to college for Aesthetics and am now a Personal Trainer. Bam! big turn there! The aesthetics road was good, but the way they took care of things was shameful and every time I had a day off I was at the gym.

In Feb. 2010 I started going to a spinning class called LesMills RPM. It was taught by Karen Richards! Who is the most wonderful person ever! And I caught the addiction! Then Gaspare this guy caught the addiction and he was thinking about being an instructor. I was thinking about it as well, but I didn't want to go up by myself so having him go was a bit of encouragement. My boyfriend had a problem with it, but I asked him to go with me and he didn't want tooooo sooooo ya.

Well it was ten hours on and off a bike. So much fun though. Now, when you become an instructor you have to get CanFitPro certified. WELL Goodlife has their GLPTI (Good Life Personal Training Institute) that gets you personal training certified AND canfitpro. I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone and went to that.

That's where I met the best Boss in the world. Alisa! We talked about eyebrows and how I creep-ed her facebook. I guess she liked me because she suggested I give her my resume. I had the job by the next week :)

That's where I'm at now. I own 2am Publishing as a back up plan if I never get an agent. I'll just go into self-publishing.

I have a few more sips of beer left, so I guess I'll just keep rambling.

When Alisa offered me the job at her gym, I was just about fed up with my aesthetics job. The day I quit was the day I realized I wasn't as appreciated there as I should have been. What they do there, at the spa, is 'punish' you by putting you at the bottom of the 'list'. The list is the order of employees. If you're first, you get booked with clients first. If your last, well you get the most days off. I was in the middle and because I ate an apple when it wasn't my break, I got put to the bottom. THAT'S when I spent the most time at the gym since I had all those days off. SO the day I quit was the spas once-a-month meeting. Its pretty much where they complain about what we're not doing.

Their biggest compliant was how people weren't cleaning. I kinda laughed since when I was working I was always the one staying behind and making sure shit was cleaned and done for the next day. I was the one during my gaps, cleaning and fixing shit, doing my duty and so on. I just found it funny that since I wasn't there as much, stuff wasn't getting cleaned.HA.

THEN the one receptionist goes, "I'd like to say something. I wanna says thanks to so and so for really pulling weight and helping me out even after your shift is done. I really appreciated it". Yea, I didn't get that mention and that's when I got pissed.
Drove home and wrote up my letter of resignation. The two managers were cool about it though and said I didn't have to do my two weeks and that I can go start my new job as PT at Goodlife.

The best part....That night I went to the casino and won 230$$ on a 5cent slot. 5 bucks into 230! Yeee!
