Hello 2014

Hello!

Hey everyone... Been a long time since I opened this blog site. How are you all? Did you have a nice holiday?  I do hope you all did.

Maybe you are wondering why I am writing this, I don't know what to call this actually, instead of me just finishing up SS chapter 48. Why? Because It's just easy to write how I feel at the very moment. Words just flow, you know? I think I have explained before that I don't have the blood of a writer, I can't just write anytime I like or during my free time. My brain and fingers don't work that way unfortunately.

I don't want you to think that I have abandoned the story. No. My mind might be busy worrying about a lot of things but Strong Steele never left its place in my not-so-imaginative-brain. Been a tough few weeks... Started with Christmas week. My only holidays were the 25th and 1st (new year) because my bosses are Koreans. They don't celebrate Christmas that's why we don't have a holiday break like the others. It was fine by me, been working for them for a few years now. But what I didn't expect was for them to give last minute announcements on the 23rd that we had to submit our Monthly reports on the 26th (which usually takes 3-5 days for me to complete). It was toxic. I was looking forward to spend time with my family on that one last holiday before the year ends. But I ended up working at home. Sucks, yeah? I felt so jelly looking at those Facebook photos of my friends enjoying their holiday break. That was when I started thinking... about things - job related things. Then before the New Year, we had a couple of meetings and shit like that just made me like ... "Are these Koreans serious? Making us work like shitheads this time of the year?" I have nothing against all Koreans, I was just mad with our bosses. So yeah, it was a hectic start of 2014. I couldn't really think about anything else aside from eating. lol no kidding. It was .. shit.

Anyway, there were things that really helped me keep my sanity, I bought a new phone(xmas gift to myself, well I had to buy a new one because my dog pee'd on my old phone, lol ew) was excited to do the techy stuff, then FOOD, yes I think I gained a couple of lbs,, eh not really lol. then my fave hobby of all time, reading. my safe haven. Always. Best way to escape reality and get lost in the world of fiction. No matter how busy I am, I'll always find time to read. And a certain rock girl who's so desperate to get a space on the tenth floor with me.

Then one day, I found a spare time to write thousand words for Chapter 48. Oh guys, the scenarios are all in my head. I can't wait to share it to you... I have this another lemon scene that I'm so excited to write down... What's gonna happen next with Chloe and Amanda... Ana and Gavin... And even the epilogue... I just wish I have super powers that could transfer all the things in my head to a Google document so I could just post it all at once. But I don't. I was so excited to finish the chapter and write the next one but , yeah life was not that easy. For me anyway.

Something happened (health problem in the fam) *everything's okay now thank god* and then with work being busy as hell...  It was shit. Again.
I feel so tired actually, like I could use a month of sleep. Oh I'm dying for a long vacation. Somewhere far.. like a secluded beach.. with a small cottage.. and a hot guy--- oops sorry lol beach and cottage would be just perfect for me. *I wish*

Enough of the fantasy... So yeah. That's what I've been up to the past few weeks. Maybe some thought I was not gonna continue writing anymore... or I've ran out of idea... etc. I'm just sorry that I'm not like the other authors who can write a couple of chapters in a week. Strong Steele would be a year old next month. I don't want to write just because I have to finish the story already, I want it to end like I originally planned to. I don't want to push my self and drag the words out. It's not gonna work. I have to give it to you guys, a good ending not a rushed one. I would like to get back to writing asap so I could express how thankful I am for all your support and unexpected love to that simple story of mine.

Even if your read this or not, thank you. I've decided to write here cos I used to write blogs before so yeah...

And the One Shot! It's all ready... I'm just trying to convert it to Ebook format so we could all download it to our kindle or tablets/phones. Anyone who knows how to do it right? Help? lol

Gonna try to write and finish everything this weekend. Wish me luck xx

Good night!
Ella 

P.S. I have some really good reads I would love to recommend again. Like reaaallyy good ;)
And I would like to share this SS book cover (in my dreams) nope, not gonna publish it. Just a sample when I tried to convert few chapters to an ebook format.


(it's supposed to be all black, I dunno what happened with the picture here... anyway what do you think?) :)

  1. Sorry to hear you have been very busy over the holiday season. Yes after the last chapter I am extremely excited for chapter 48. But don't rush back to writing if you're not feeling up to it yet. Sounds like you have had a rough few weeks. Chloe, Amanda, Ana, Gavin...epilogue? I am very much looking forward to what lies ahead because I really love your story with Ana with Gavin and having a new life. One shot first half looks really good too so will be looking forward to that when you are ready as well. The cover looks really neat! Very unique. I hope you're back soon and less tired :)

  2. I forgot to ask about the song on this blog site? Is it the one Ana was singing in the shower? Do you mind if I ask who sings it as I've never heard it before?

  3. So happy to see you'll be continuing. I was worried you had stopped the story. I'd miss Mr. Boxers far too much. Also love the covers for both Strong Steele and the one shot. I think I shall go and read the first half of the one shot again because I really enjoyed it.
