Pen Name?

Hello, Hello..

I know I have the pen name as * Anjiu Vanstar but it has never really flowed. I have always Loved the name I use for my self at time “Anjiu SutoMu” I think I will change that to my pen name.  Anjiu means beloved; Suto means Storm;   Mu means Bug. So I prefer the SutoMu to the plain Vanstar which means nothing. SutoMu is more memorable too… I am not going to go back and rename my live journal though… So you will just have to know I changed my Pen name if I eventually release any books under it.

The reason I am all for a Pen name “a sur name” to write under is because I want my readers to be able to discern my books on “fact” and “faith” vs my “Fiction”ones..  That way also people who hold grudges against authors who write both. (I know they are out there, they do not want to read a book by an Author of faith.) But I feel torn about that too. However, I want to get my books read by many of people and though some of my books you will not be able to tell I am a believer you will in others very clearly.  (of course I want to write good books.) ” I can’t explain it. You will just have to see for your self when I am done..

So: What do  you think of the Pen name “Anjiu SutoMu” vs “Anjiu VanStar” Please leave me a comment with your opinion.

I don't want to grow up

Insperation Detour

I have been extremely inspired lately to write. Yet still have been able to settle down enough to focus on my thoughts to get them out. I have been running around like crazy inside my mind. Outwardly I am sleepy and antsy. I need to buckle down and finish my room. I need to also take some stuff to storage, sort my cloths for donations again, go on a road trip to see my Cardiologist, sort out some personal issues, try to fix some friendships while keeping the ones I hold most dear.  Plus my baby sister had a baby on June 2end! Conner Roy is now 1 month old! Woot! I am so happy for her, I am so glad he is in our lives...  And that is only part of it... But I am working on what I need to get done! And am working on the books, but slowly right now.

So for book work here is what has been done the past 3 months:

--

* "Life is Harder Than you Think" - Has been re-named "Miracles still Happen Today" I wrote another chapter now I have about 40 pages and still have a ways to go. This HAS be my main project for now. I won't get it done if I keep following impulses to work on the other books I am working on. Which is exactly what I have been doing.

* "The Crimson Kiss"  is now "The Crimson Star" I wrote another two chapters in that = about 60 pages..  I have a total of about four chapters now.

* I LOST and FOUND my main book  "The Princess and The Mirror" It seems I accidentally deleted all my back ups.......... So I though.. (A case of them being in the wrong folders) But guess what I just found It on my old flash drive.  I am not sure how much of my Re-writes I lost. But Thank GOD  I found them. He is so amazing!! I could have restarted it, but luckily I didn't loose it after all!

* "Issiboo" is now renamed "Mission Fred" other then that no real work on that one.

* I started three other books.  "Musical Mishap", and two others which are on hold. (I can not seem to remembered the names right now, but they are awesome names.)  All three have 1st chapters done with summaries for me. Two are set in current times. One is set in a more castle age. That one started a s a short story and just keeps getting longer.

--

Those are only the current updates. I have more books. I lost the list I once made so I will re-make it in a week or so if you want to know exactly what I have.

That is about all.  I am off to dinner with my family and then to pick out Conner Roy's new baby prints!! Take care! God bless YOU today and always!

More Pages!!!! YAY!!!

Ello!!!

My book news..

 I have added several pages to the first chapter of the "Princess and the Mirror" my main fiction book. But has yet to be updated online, I will wait to do that till I finish my work on it. You can also look me up on live journal for small updates..  "AnjiuVanstar"


Why is it  "A Crimson Kiss" is getting more hits then the above book?  What is it that you like about it??


And I have added many pages to "Believing is Harder Than You Think" working on new name.. It is my Faith based book incase you did not know.. I started a Bible Verse reference page in the very back of the book too, so when I give a veers you can look it up in the back of the book instead of having to open another book, though I suggest you keep a Bible on hand when reading, and not to take my word for it.  This was partially online but it has not been updated in a while, and I think it should be left off line till I am done. I keep adding a lot in here and there and it is my main book currently.. If you want to keep up with my Faith based thoughts for my book you can look me up on live journal "ChristianBug"




My Main Webpage still in set up mode but open!!  http://digitizedink.com/anjius/   


Take care!!

New Book & Writers Block

Ok I have been having some major writers block on my main book "The Princess and The Mirror" so I started a book I was going to put off for a while.. "Hello Fred" the name is subject to change. I have the first chapter done and am working on the second chapter.. And low and behold my creativity and ideas have come back for my main fiction..

If you would like to read my raw work you can read them here:
 http://www.fictionpress.com/u/505533/


I will update as I go until I am ready to start the publishing posses.. I know may say I shouldn't but I write so that others can enjoy.. And because I love it.. If you want to leave me feed make I would love that as long as if it is critcimim make sure it is constructive, don't say you hate one part with out telling me why..

Ummm I think that is al I have to say besides now that I have my creativity back for my main fiction "The Princess and The Mirror" you will be seeing some more chapters soon.. ^_^

As for "A Crimson Kiss" that has been moved to the back burner for now and "Hello Fred" has replaced it in importance. I Know the way I want the story for "Hello Fred" to go betetr then how I want "A Chrimson Kiss" since "Hello Fred" is based on a long running inside thing I have had going with my friends since I was a young teen. And I want to be able to devote the time "The Crimson Kiss" needs but I can't do that while I am woking on "The Prinsses and The Mirror" since they are both books that will take a lot of research. I hope you understand.. They all will get done in due time. Trust me on that, and even if they are not picked up by majior publising companuies I will find a way to publish them if I have to self publish them I will.. That way I can share them with you and others...

To all that have read my work so far, Thank you!!! For those of you that haven't you don't have to but feed back would be nice..

And to my loyal fans (though I only have a few) I hope you continue to like and read my book, you inspire me and it gives me joy to know that you like my work. And I will try hard to keep improving my work and hopefully it is up to your expiations.

Thank You and Take care!!

Referances?

Well I have received some comments about my references at the end of pages in my book The Princess and The Mirror. Some of you may not have noticed though..  At first I just placed them there for myself and one as a joke... I haven't been sure if I would keep them or not till now.. Some of you like the idea and some of you say try and add  them into the story because right now it seems too elementary. (Which I kind of agree with)... I don't know I will try and add them in to the story that would be best I think.. But a fun challenge a the same time.. Especially for two in particular..^_^;;  So once again before I move on I need to edit Chapters 1 & 2... But I have good news I have Most of chapter 3 done. and 1/4 of Chapters 4,5, and 6 stared.. I was able to do this by moving some things that I wanted to happen latter on..

However, I STILL NEED A BETA!!

Thank you and take care...

Helllo, just a little update...

Hello my Friends,

I just wanted to drop by and apologize to all of you who check in here regularly. I have not added my most recent work yet, I am still not happy with it, but I will soon.. I am working on three short stories maybe 4 soon... If I can get them done and they are a decent length I am going to put them in a book on LuLu but I won't know till I get them  done.. I still have some research to do for two of them... That is why it is taking me so long to finish them. ^_^;;  Gomen!

YAY!! I have now over 50 pages in all my current book projects.. I was surprised and pleased when I leaned this.. I was recently given a Mic better then my old mic and with that I can dictate to my computer. That has helped me think more about that I am typing and  helped word it better, so there are less edits, and it has saved me in time, less spelling errors.. lol My fingers are happy.. There are of course some things the Mic doesn't get like names and foreign words, but it is all good and I am happy. It has inspired me to write more. I can say I work on one of my books every day now.. ^_^

I am still looking for an editor some one who has the time to read my book as I go.. Some who will not be mean but constructive..

If interested e-mail me: AmyJane27@gmail.com  

I loved my old LJ layout but my works were not posting right so I had to change it.  I hope you like this one too..

One more thing, I changed the name to "A Good Night's Kiss" to "A Crimson Kiss" I decided I wanted to make it a three book series and want the original name for the second book.. As for the third we shall see when we get there..

GBU, Cheers!!!

Tony and Amy: Short Story

© Copyright 2006 Anjiu VanStar

Tony and Amy

Hello, my name is Amy and this is my story. It was a hot July day when I first met him. I had just had a fight with my younger sister Amelia and took escape with a walk. That is when I met the mystery guy. He approached me when he noticed I was sad I was sad and tried to cheer me up. He was very successful with a kind smile and a sincere look I was drawn in. He has the most beautiful golden brown eyes I have ever seen. They were eyes that show his every emotion.

After that day I started waking more in hopes to see him again. And I did. We made it a habit to meet at least once a week when I went on my walks. He was fun to be with and made me feel relaxed and happy.

Around Halloween I learned his name was Tony. Such a nice name and his personality suited the name well! Latter that week I invited him over to meet my sisters, Amanda and Amelia. Amanda and Tony seemed to relate to each other nicely. Amelia and he seemed to make a connection right away. I was very pleased at this, especially since I was falling in love with him. After a nice visit I was sad to see him go.

A few days later I was out walking and I spotted Tony at another girl's apartment doorstep. I was upset and saddened by this. The next day I approached her and asked her about her relationship with Tony she said no that they were just friends. I was pleased to learn this. I asked her to back off for a while to see who he liked more. She agreed but she never did..

Near thanksgiving I started to make him dinner which he really liked and it made me happy. I started seeing Tony every day after I started that. I was very saddened to leave him when I went home to my parents but I left him with a promise that I would return.

When I retuned in December he was no where to be seen, and I didn't know where exactly he lived. But after a week I saw Tony near the mail boxes and we walked home together. Again I invited him over and he accepted but didn't stay long.

Finally just before Christmas Tony seemed very pleased to see me. It looked like he was involved in a fight and he was very shook up. And again I invited him in. But this time I didn't let him leave. Finally he is mine, and we are happy..!!!

Tomorrow I will take Tony to the Vet to get his shots and fixed, than he will really be forever mine..!!

Intoduction:

 

Before you read this and if you have not heard of Issiboo before it is Anjius home planet. Anjiu is a member of the Royal family and looks the most human out of her relatives. She is one third human, one third elf, and one third Issian. Issoboo is a lot like earth but there are some things that are different. There are seven moons, two suns; multi colored grass and the sky is navy blue. Each woman is allowed three husbands and each man is allowed three wives.  But they must all be from different planets to keep up the verity of culture that Issiboo is known for. Each Issian can have the gentic make up of the all the fathers and the mother unlike humans and normal earth creatures. And a Issian pregnancy generally lasts seven to eleven months depending on how fast the child matures inside the womb. Twins and Triplets are not uncommon thanks to the mutable fathers as well. Most residents on the planed look like normal humans except the skin and hair on each person could be any variety of colors.  Though thanks to the unique minerals of the planet, and genetics of the Issian blood line, the Issians can and most do have unique abilities. Another wonderful thing about Issiboo is if you can imagine it, it is most likely true here.  For this story this all you need to know.

The Story:

 

It was a tepid morning within Tree-Hills, the most popular golf course on Issiboo. Anjiu was pacing the long hallway in her two bedroom apartment as she waited for her room mate Luna to finish preparing herself to leave.  Anjiu however was ready to leave hours ago, or so it felt like it. She was unable to remember the details of anything at the moment. Though she had made sure to taken extra care in what she was to ware.

 

 Anjiu had thoughtfully chosen a cute white sundress, with pastel flowers and green leaves gracing front and back in a floral pattern. Among that she chose her favored white short healed sandals, her white golf gloves, they in which protected the palms of her hands but let her fingers and thumb breath. She had chosen to accent the attire with her white pearl necklace and matching earrings. Her dishwater blonde hair was neatly pulled back in a pony tail and tied with a pretty white butterfly bow. She was so nerves today would be the first real test of the skills she had been leaning the past several weeks from her personal trainer Fred.

 

Darn it Luna, when are we going to leave! She yelled in anger but quickly apologized. Today would be Lunas first real test of skills too. Anjiu was a bit jealous of her friend; Luna was a natural at the game and had stared her skill training months before. She however trained with Mina. It was thanks to Mina that Luna and Anjiu had ever found interest in the sport of golf.

 

            It was a cool spring morning; Luna was in a good mood and was visiting her friend Jae when Jaes friend Mina arrived at Jaes to visit too. Mina is a very observant persona and she quickly noticed a set of golf clubs Jae had in the back corner of her living room and became overjoyed. It was chance that Jae had just received the set of golf clubs for her birthday from her father, and chance that Mina was a local Golf instructor. Mina had in a matter of days talked Luna and Jae into taking a privet class from her and leaning the game. Jae unfortunately did not find much interest in the game and as a result quit the lesions after three months. She in that case gave Luna her used but still nice golf clubs.

 

Luna was a bit sad at that and lonely with out Jae around and thus asked Anjiu if she would join her in a few practice matches. Anjiu agreed and found that she had greatly enjoyed the game and then asked her friend Fred to instruct her. That way she would not slow down Lunas lesions with Mina and could lean I her own pace. Today proved that she had made a good decision. After another five months of training for Luna and two and a half months of training for Anjiu they were ready for their first big tournament. Luna was ready after the first two months but she was to nerves to compete so she waited till Anjiu was also ready so that they could do it together.

 

 

            Ok, Im ready! Luna announced brining Anjiu back from her thoughts.

Luna had chosen a purple knee length Chinese style dress with blue lilies sewn in, to form a pretty pattern.  She had matching purple gloves with a baby blue lily sewn on the palm and top of the hand. The glove was cut to let her fingers breath like Anjius but the cut was higher up so it covers half of the fingers. For foot ware she chose purple short heals, and for accents she wore a set of topaz earrings and a topaz pendant. Her long blackish brown  hair was pulled in to upward pig tails on each side of her head tied by small purple butterfly bows.

 

 Finally! I was about to start panicking. We should leave now or we will be late Anjiu replied.

 

I know, I know, I have my keys lets go. Luna replied and walked out to her hover craft. Anjiu quickly followed making sure to lock the door and climbed into the passenger seat next to Luna. Anjiu didnt mind driving but she let Luna drive because it tends to relax her a bit.

 

***

 

When the girls arrived at Tree-Hill there was already a huge crowd of people. Some of which Luna and Anjiu recognized such as: Shampoo, Miki, Miroku, Keanu, Drew, Sandra, JB, Elvis, Johnny, Will, Orlando, Wooster, Jae, Andy, Jackie, and many more. This added to the pressure that the girls were already feeling inside. The both smiled and waved to their friends ads they made their way to the courts where their caddies were waiting.

Lunas caddie was named Neko and as the name she was a cute large black cat, wore a purple color with a baby blue bell. The cat was named  Mysty and had telepathic abilities which allowed it to carry her bag, fetch her ball, and giver her tips on the course. Like most of the TrangPa caddies and like Anjius caddie. Her caddy was an oversized brown teddy bear that walked upright like a grizzly bear. He was sporting a white tee, white shorts, and white sneakers. With the same pastel colors Anjiu had on her dress but his were splashed about all over his artier. His name being Jonathan he was also a close friend of Anjius, then had been together since her birth just about inseparable too. He was strong enough to carry the clubs but like Mysty they followed him thanks to his powers.

 

The golf course was mostly all artificially enhanced, the water, the scenery, the hills all computer programmed in a large dome arena. Whit that system there were so many golf courses, rounds, levels, and so many other sports that could be played inside. This made the games more challenging for all the contestants. To add to the excitement and suspense each player has no more then four hours to complete the eight-teen whole course and no less then two hours so as to show that they are not cheating. When every one and their caddies were ready the game began. There were a total of forty some people on the eight-teen hole course but only eleven people were in their level that they needed to worry about beating to the finish line.

 

***

 

The first hole was a straight shot down the field and it looked pretty easy. The wind was five miles to the left and Luna went first. She slowly examined the course and the wind, and then adjusted her pose to the right by three inches. Neko gave her a w1 club and she then swung her arms back and hit the ball with all her might, but no TrangPa and she did not get any special awards for this shot but it was a good shot. The ball shot into the air and it flew strait to the middle of the course lucky in the green.

 

Anjiu was next her hands were sweating she didnt want to let any one down. She looked over the course and like Luna adjusted her angle but by four inches to the right. Jonathan handed her a w1 wage and backed up nodding in approval. She nodded back, took a deep breath closed her eyes and then swung her club. TrangPa her caddie shouted. It was a perfect hit but her ball hit the course at an angle and rolled into the rough just above Lunas ball so she also did not get rewarded. At least it was a good shot.

I need an editor…

 I need an editor… Someone who has the time to read my book, who can give me honest constrictive opinions, show me an example of something they wrote or edited. They need be able to keep in contact with me and know not to change main details, and if they think I should they need to talk to me about it.  Also I could use help in catching: spelling, grammar errors, and maybe help me word things better. I can not pay you but maybe we could work out a deal once I am published?? Please e-mail me if you are seriously interested.. This is serious to me and I want to do my best.

Important Info for my readers

My writing style:

 

One thing you need to know as you read my work, I am always updating. I am always trying to see if I can better my work. First I write down my ideas and then I add details slowly expanding the story as I write. Sometimes taking days, or even years (which I hope not) so please take the time to read what I write and make suggestions. I promise I will read and consider everything you suggest.

 

You may ask how I can possibly work on more then one book at a time, or you may think I am not thinking by doing so. First let me tell you why I am and can do this. I am a multitasked, and my mind runs a mile a minuet all the time. I have all these books to keep me busy so that I am never bored.  Each story has come from my dreams or ideas I have from life or idle thoughts. Each story is separate in my mind and I have the main plot written down just incase I forget so I have my book ideas backed up. Two people know my book plus and about some books I have yet to start yet. When I get writers block on one book I work on writing in another one. So unless you are me or know me really well do not complain about how I do things, and even then you won’t change how I write.

 

Another thing, I purposely change from first, second and third person in all my books at cretin places. I have found that this is pretty common and liked by many readers from my research. At times thought I may have a phrase or word in the wring process. If you notice please bring it to my attention so I can fix it.

 

One last thing before we move on to the next main topic, if you make a suggestion to me and I do not acknowledge it right away or do not make the change right away it is not because I am ignoring you. It is because I am not ready to work on it at that time. Nothing will go over looked I promise.

 

 

Color Codes and General Book Info:

 

I know since this is my work and show off journal that there is a lot off stuff here and a lot to come. So I came up with the idea of color coding my works. What does that mean? Well it means I will select a color for each or my books and post them in that color.

 

Also so that you may critique my work properly I am adding also to this journal entry a bit of info on the books I am working on and have posted….

 

Be fore I go on I want to remind you that this journal is only for my fiction works. And I do have some other books I am working one, one main one that is Christian and is not posted any where and may not be for a very long time. And that is my main project over all my fictions. So if you don’t see some progress on my books for a while remember that.

 

 

Finally Here is my book list:

 

The Velvet room: (Green) My least important project and the most raw. I have no set age audience for it thought I think I want to target young adults with this or mid to late teens. Due to some of the situations I have planed for it.

 

A Good Nights Kiss: (violet) This is my secondary project, this is very important to me, but my secondary fiction project. I am planning on adding some very mature content not meaning sexual but things that most teens will not understand so I am targeting young adults and adults for sure with this one. I have a few things I want to add to it, but I am working on the main fiction for now. Such as: wording, grammar, spelling, phrasing and adding more details maybe more of a background to the first chapter.

 

The Princess and the Mirror: {Blue} This is my main fiction novel. I have doesn’t the most work on this and started writing this in my late teens after a dream and set of thoughts I had. My target audience is any where from teens to adults. I want this to be something just about any one can enjoy. This is also I think my hardest task since the main story is between two places and times. Again I am always changing and updating (wording, grammar, spelling, phrasing and adding more details) and will be doing so till I am ready to publish. Right now I have one main editor who is in school and then I send my work another person when they have time for to suggest different ways to word things and general opinion. But I want yours too!!

 

Thank you, and GBU!!!

Chapter One:

 

“The End and The Beginning”

 

As I leaned back in my cozy green velvet chair I thought of the book “The Velvet Room” written by Zilpha Keatley Snyder, oh so many years ago... Which is the main reason I created this room, and created this cozy velvet chair. I wanted a place of my own like the girl in the book, a place I could call mine and mine alone. A place where I could collect my thoughts, read, or just to have a place to sit there and bask in the beauty of life, somewhat similar to the girl from the book.


The past few years have been out of the ordinary, at least to what most would call normal. And I have changed a great deal since then. Other than the fact that I do not feel as lost and with out purpose as I did oh so many years ago. And one thing still remains the same; I still believe in God. With out him my life would be worthless, literally worthless. But that is enough of that for now.

 

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*


Let me start in the beginning…


*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*


“What do you mean you’re moving?” Christen yelled! “What about me? Where will I live? You know I can not afford a place of my own. And you know I can’t work right now, school takes up all my time!” She added with tears falling from her eyes.


Annette felt bad about it but she couldn’t help that she had to move. “Look you didn’t have to take those four years off before going to collage! I worked hard to get to this point in my life and I am happy to have achieved a job, especially one where they will pay for me to move and the first month of my rent. I would have to be brainless to pass up this. A chance of a life time!!! Can’t you just be happy for me for a change and support me! You can move back in with mom and dad!” Annette replied angry at her older sister ruining her excited and happy mood.


Christen wiped her eyes “That was mean Annette you know why I took a break from school, I couldn’t afford collage! I wasn’t as lucky as you to get a bunch of scholarships, and you know I have to stay here for my doctors! It took me two years to get them, I can’t just leave now! AND I am VERY happy for you, and VERY proud of you! I wish I had your perseverance!”


“I’m sorry” Annette replied “I am just scared and excited. Forgive me?” Annette said sincerely. She had known how hard it has been for her sister, and she has been very blessed, their whole family has despite all the rough times. She understood Christen’s feelings, but she really could not give up this chance! No matter what it is her turn to move out! Thought Christen has had her health problems she has had a full life and experienced many things while Annette has only experienced school through out her life. She was jealous inside. She too wants to see the world and to experience new things. Maybe finally have time for a boyfriend?


“Of course I do! We are sisters after all, and I am sorry too! How long till the big move? And congratulations on the new job!” Christen replied with a forced smile. It really hurt her inside to be parted with her best friend. Once Annette moves Christen knew nothing would ever be the same.


“Four months, I have to get back to school!” Annette said quickly and left the apartment before Christen could reply.

Your never too old

Hello and welcome

           

            Hello and welcome to my writting journal.  First my real name is Amy Jane but for my fiction work I am using the Pen name Anjiu VanStar so that my christain work and fiction can stay seperate. Not that I think writting fiction is worng in any way, I love reading fiction. I just think and my friends agree it is a good idea.


            So what does a
writting journal mean exactly, well I am writting several books and am inspiering to be a Published writter sometime in the future, hopefully not to long from now.. And I thought I would create a journal where you can see what I am writting as I write it in it's raw form before I send it to my editors. I will also at times post noraml entries as in how my works are going, mabye feed back I recive and my current prijects. Also You will see the changes I make and what I add to my work as well. Another reason I created this journal to help me save my work in case by some off chace reason I loose it in word I will have it backed up. Pleas read what I write and please leave me feed back and suggetions if I have any and if I use it I will try and remember to mention that in my acknolagements when I am publishd.

If you have not read my general profile please read the below:

I am Amy Jane and I am the webmaster of this site. It has been a long time since I have had a site and I thought since my current career is mostly done at my home, I should work on a site to help it a little and tell you about myself.!

 I am 25 years old and I am a writerI recently graduated from collage. I have an (AA-As) Associates degree specializing in - Business Administration. I have an online store AJ’s Goodies and I joint own a web page The Hall of Bish which also has its own store called The Hall Of Bish which is a fan comic with my self and my cofounder as the main characters. Someday it will have an original comic / fictions in due time.  You can find The Hall of Bish link and my store link on the lower part of the page as well as hyperlinked above.

I am currently working on eight different books.  Three are based off real life situations of mine and my close friends. With their permission of course!  One is a children’s book that my Dad will illustrate for me. He is a greater artist then me and knows the story better. The rest are all fictional and have been dreams I have had, with bits of my real life situations thrown in, and are mainly fantasy. I have yet to decide on if one will be fantasy or realistic. I may write it as both and make two books out of that one. There would be obvious differences in both so that they wouldn’t be the same of course! And one for sure will be realistic.
