This is it! What many of you have asked me to reveal is right here, right now. These are two unedited and unpolished excerpts that I just retrieved from my novel. I hope that everyone had a great weekend!

What I really love about working with this non fiction thrilling project is that the subjects that I will be bringing up have taken a huge role in some of the most controversial cases that we have seen in the United States for at least the last couple of years. As  tension gradually grows throughout the  plot of the story, the main character finds herself with several options... and the final choices to those options  will elaborate the consequences that will emerge throughout the rest of the story. It's quite interesting because one of my purposes is to create interest among those who can identify themselves with the character in one way or another while they read the book. Also, to help identify "red flags" on any particular situation which could help them avoid suffering dangerous consequences in the future. I will make a direct approach to those cases and  soon will reveal on this website what those cases are and how they created an impact in the development of this story. Thank you for reading!

Hey there guys!!! So I wanted to talk about how  important it is for me to incorporate in detail all 5 senses: sometimes combined and sometimes altogether in one scene -in order to create an accurate impression of what is happenning during every event. Now, I'd like to clarify that my main purpose is to develop an appealing, not too long - not too short, and not difficult to understand narration of every scene in order to keep the all kinds of readers (those who spend a lot of time reading and those who do not) engaged in this great story.  A very detailed "sense wise" description  is reflected on those scenes where the main character's personality and even future actions are forever being marked. So, stay tuned, I'll talk to you soon!

A very good friend of mine, Jeff Hillyer from Film Rally, will be doing the trailer for the promotion of the novel. It is such an honor to be working with him! Jeff is the producer and co-writer of Jules Dongu Saves the World.
Check this behind the scenes documentary so you can experience intensity of Jeff's passion for the film industry. Thank you Jeff!
 
Hello everyone! Nice Saturday!!! Okay, so during my process of working with my novel, I have also not forgotten that another vital part in this thrilling process is to learn! Learning never ends, so what I've been doing is that I've been recording down on a separate document at least 8-10 new words every day that I understand will define and depict better the emotions and events that we will be seeing in the story. However, "Life is Like a box of Chocolates: An Inspirational Novel" takes place in the modern, present time! That means that it will portray itself with a strong reality foundation as it will include words that we use in our modern daily lives. My intention is that I want you to experience with the same *intensity* what the main character lives day by day as this story unravels new, shocking events in every chapter. Have a nice weekend guys!

So here I am, one more day,  working on it like I love it! So I just wanted to share with all of you that the novel is being inspired (still in process) by several breath taking life subjects; that's why I decided to make sure that the word "inspirational" appears on the book cover. So let me give you a little insight:  the story unfolds with a very touchy, and heart breaking event that I will reveal as time progresses, followed by probably 4 more subjects that took part and a huge role in a young lady's life. All of these subjects are quite touchy, delicate, and sometimes attempted to be kept confidential and private in real life scenarios for a huge list of reasons. Anyway, stay tuned, I will keep you guys updated!

So I wanted to explain more or less how I'm working out this exciting process! In order to organize my ideas, I had to create from the very beginning a map for my  novel / story. In my case, it consists of a chart with the following headers: number and name of  the chapter, events to include, and special notes. Within my special notes, I pretty much  write every little detail that I do not want to miss. This map or organizing chart grows every day as I want to add more valuable information to this great, and inspirational story. Additionally, I have recorded  in this section the current age of the main character, the age of the secondary characters, and also the time and place in which each event takes place! And finally, every day before I print a new version of it , I perform a small hand written brainstorm of the ideas that I will be putting down (soon enough) under each chapter section that I'm currently working with. I hope that this doesn't sound too complicated or hard to understand;  however, I find that it could be very useful tool in case you're thinking about taking this journey as well in the near future! :)

Well, I can't begin this first post without expressing my happiness in finally making this dream come true. This is my first book, and I'm sure you're going to love it! I will be giving you guys a few hints here and there of  what you will be seeing in it; so stay tuned, because you don't want to miss it! In a near future, I will be placing the book cover art on the home page and all the information that you want to know! So you definitely want to stay around! I'm expecting the release at the end of the Summer, so as soon as we get everything rolling we will get the fun started! I will be doing book signings, and there's a huge possibility that I will be going hopefully to a city near you! Don't hesitate to ask me any questions and thank you so much for reading!
