The Morning News: #YesAllWomen - a sampling of tweets

5/26/2014

0 Comments

 
The thing that strikes me most about the powerful hash-tag response to the shooting tragedy - #YesAllWomen is how long this trend has stayed in the top ten. 

I've seen many incredible tweets and share a small sample here. 

Because we are being harassed by ignorant men on this hashtag #YesAllWomen

— Maggie (@Magz114) May 25, 2014

#yesallwomen because this thread reminded me that the sexism I have come to view as "normal" in life should not be accepted anymore.

— Rachael MacFarlane (@GirlMacFarlane) May 26, 2014

Because every single woman I know has a story about a man feeling entitled to access to her body. Every. Single. One. #YesAllWomen

— Emily (@emilyhughes) May 24, 2014

"I have a boyfriend" is the easiest way to get a man to leave you alone. Because he respects another man more than you. #yesallwomen

I've spent 19 yrs teaching my daughter how not to be raped. How long have you spent teaching your son not to rape? #yesallwomen

Reports from #Vegas - Floyd Mayweather and T.I. were involved in an altercation at FatBurger that is rumored to have included chair throwing and various insults hurled by both sides. Click the link below for a detailed story and videos taken at the locations. 

All I have to say - What happens in #Vegas ends up on the internet. Money Mayweather keeps on with that Las Vegas lifestyle.

The Morning Process - a flower and a story - 

5/24/2014

0 Comments

 
When I wake in the morning, my first task is to read over all the notes and story written from the previous day. Once I've made a list of proposed changes, I begin searching the internet for the 'inspiration' of the morning. This can come in the form of a picture, music, art, or even a news story. 

Today, I ran into an old favorite, a cover of the Game of Thrones done entirely in violin. 
And then I saw this picture. A flower on a book. For a writer- this conjures many images and thoughts and...we have story. How pretty is this flower and how very perfect if the page it covered were a horror story or violent death scene?
Picture
and...then I find my place in the story. Where were we? Our Narrator met a ghost and is about to enter the fun house of horror? What will Ella find? 

the next installment - a ghost, a dragon, and a serial killer - oh my.

Greetings from #Vegas on #MemorialDayWeekend 

5/23/2014

0 Comments

 
It's time for Memorial Day weekend in #Vegas. New clubs open (the NEW Cromwell) and party goers will descend on this city. What are your plans in the city?

In book news, the edits for Ella steam ahead. It won't be long before I can give a more exact idea of when I'll be releasing the book.

Speaking of Ella, did you all see the new blog location and new ghost chapter posted yesterday? Here is a small sample and link.
A sedan with dark tinted windows stop behind the news truck. Marcus steps out with three other agents while the cop clutches my arms. Neighbors come out onto porches to stare and gawk as the cuffs dig into my skin.

Marcus says something I can't hear to the policeman, who proceeds to release me from my restraints. 

"But, she can't go into the house until I get word from the station," he says before storming off in anger. These local vs fed pissing contests do not amuse me.

I shrug and turn away from the house, facing the graveyard. If I can't go into the house, I will know who is buried in this cemetery. Taking the last few steps to cross the street, I lift the latch on the fence and enter.  

The name Holden adorns each of six identical headstones in two rows of three. I do not recognize the names in the first row, so I move to the second. Placing my hand on the first headstone, I stop.
Read the rest of FUNERAL MARCH

Be watching for the next installment, which will be posted this weekend. Will we meet more ghosts in the next chapter...or will we meet 

A Dragon. 

Soon we shall see,

From Las Vegas,

Good Morning from Las Vegas, 

There will be a new location for Ella's Journal this week (the tab visible on this website). The posts will transition from Ella'sJounal.Weebly.com to this site over the next few days. 

Here is a sample from today's entry
I can't wait to leave Uxbridge. I hate it here and wonder how I suffered through the six months of forced exile after the incident at the party.

there is so much more to tell you about the last few days and I promise - I won't skip any of it. 

but, i have to get out of here. where am I going? Directly back to #Vegas?
