I Freaking Love You, Little Yellow House.

 

Two of my favorites. Hope you have a beautiful day. I've been laughing a lot, secretly always memorizing dialogue when I'm talking to random folks. Not on purpose...it just happens, ha. Later, when I least expect it, when I'm not even thinking about it, it'll all come out while I work on this next book. That's when my brain comes in handy...ha. I've learned to channel the muck. I suppose Shakespeare wouldn't call it "muck," but I do. Other days, I call it "slick."

Will Grayson is one of my new favorite books...by John Green and David Levithan. I truly enjoyed that. I also enjoyed Every Day, by David Levithan. Green and Levithan have some fun with voice...so much so, that I find myself wanting to step outside of the book and join them in the creation. I've also learned so much from sociologist Sudhir Venkatesh, and I've been reading his work as well. Man, I drank in his words; I was completely enmeshed. 

Anyway, I've been stepping back, reading, studying, and writing poetry, getting in the groove. :) Sometimes I have to research and get quiet...all part of the process.

I suppose I'd love to have bestselling success, so that I wouldn't have to struggle so much financially, and I believe my novels are absolute fire...they just need money put into the promotion. Sure, I could use help. You can find my books here! Pass it on! My ultimate dream is to see them become films. :)

But my life is good, and what I enjoy most is the process of creating. I'm older, wiser, and I'd rather just curl up and be happy.

Love to you,
C.A. MacConnell
