<span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: start;">When Abigail is caught after killing a fellow school student, the United States Government holds her prisoner in the hopes of her leading them to more vampires. Offered a chance of freedom and a new life, she agrees to lead them to the vampire who Turned her, but Abigail is a cunning, manipulative vampire, wanting only one thing: to kill. Her captor’s complacency will expose them to truth of what it means to be in the presence of vampires. They always lust for blood, and Abigail has no qualms about getting what she wants.</span></div>

I've worked some on my book, but sadly I have come to the point where every time I sit down I feel that I'm editing "me" out of my writing. I will eventually get back into my work, but for now I'm waiting. I think my plot needs a little work and I'm not going to send something off to an agent if I do not feel it is the best that I'm capable of making it. Until then, bear with me.<br /><br />~Elizabeth AzpuruaElizabeth Azpuruahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12190464754119528282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243434642326077611.post-68365685552871929912008-06-21T15:39:00.002-05:002008-06-21T15:40:58.791-05:00No News is Bad NewsI just want to give a quick update and say that I haven't had time since my last blog for any writing.

It has been so busy, and I want to spend time on the synopsis, but I can hardly find time to breathe. My April so far has been spent planting and caring for baby chickens, and of course working and working. I've done spring cleaning, helped start a garden and plant many flowers. I hope to come back soon with news that I've completed the synopsis, but I don't believe I'm going to find the time for a while.Elizabeth Azpuruahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12190464754119528282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243434642326077611.post-57970360695597482152008-04-01T12:34:00.002-05:002008-04-01T12:38:21.167-05:00The April FoolIt smells so wonderful outside! Spring is in the air and blossoms float downward in the breeze from the bradford pear trees. It's a lovely day out, bright and sunny, and here I am inside at work. Work has taken a lot of my time, but I must be honest and say a fair amount has gone to spring cleaning. Perhaps a bit early, but better now than farther into spring when the weddings will take every weekend up. I feel like writing about flowers and dancing children, a gentle breeze and the smell of rain; moist cool grass and colored blossoms and the sound of birds up in the trees. What a wonderful day, but I'm an April fool.Elizabeth Azpuruahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12190464754119528282noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243434642326077611.post-15322567221298773752008-03-04T20:42:00.002-05:002008-03-04T20:50:36.917-05:00ReflectionIt is nice to be able to sit back and reflect on how far I've come with my book. It's had so many ups and downs, and by far the biggest hurtle has been cutting it in half, but I have moved on and my now 460 double spaced courier 12 point manuscript is finished. Am I anywhere near to the end of the publishing process? No. I have a few people who will read it now that it's "chopped" so to speak, one of which has never read it before. I had to edit so many things out and so much went into the second book, but I am pleased with what I have. It has been such a challenge just getting it to this point. From barely beginning, to a virus on my computer, from work and school <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">interuptions</span>, to editing and word count issues, it has been a lot to do. I'd have it no other way though. I hope with a solid hook, a good query, intriguing synopsis, and engaging story I will be able to get this thing published!Elizabeth Azpuruahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12190464754119528282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243434642326077611.post-43772539424023327672008-02-27T10:59:00.002-05:002008-02-27T11:02:32.041-05:00Snowy Day<span style="font-family:times new roman;">It is a snowy day today, beautiful and cloudy with a blanket of about 8 inches of snow on the ground. I am enjoying the day off from work. Sadly, I have not touched my book since I chopped it in half, but I will return to it. I needed to take a step back after such a drastic thing. As I watch the gently falling snowflakes I recall why winter is such a beautiful season.</span><br /><br />Elizabeth AzpuruaElizabeth Azpuruahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12190464754119528282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243434642326077611.post-34783956774683182542008-01-26T23:17:00.000-05:002008-01-26T23:27:24.963-05:00A New LookI've changed things a bit around here - new font colors and a banner at the top. I got a little bored and tried to get a layout - but alas, I couldn't figure out how to make it work even with the instructions. It takes me a bit. So, the same layout, new colors and banner. I'm a really creative person. Really.<br /><br />Check out the blog for the company I work for: <a href="http://smokymountainweddings.blogspot.com/">http://smokymountainweddings.blogspot.com</a><br />I add posts on there as well as here - so, if you're interested in the ups and downs of the wedding business you can check it out!<br /><br />For the most part I've been juggling work, but I will get around to my final (I hope) edit soon! I'll keep you posted.Elizabeth Azpuruahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12190464754119528282noreply@blogger.com0
