Personal news..

Hello My Dears;

I don't know who follows me here. I had lost the password to this account till today. A  lot has happened since I last posted so very long ago. I have been using a new blog : http://amyjanesworld.wordpress.com That is if you want to follow me there.... 

I will try and keep this up but it may be hard since I have limited time. The just of thies is:  I moved across the United States to be with my family who are relocating north for work. And in doing so I am able to have more time to work on my books, which is exactly what I will be doing for now on. I'm single, I have 3 cats, my bird has a new home. I was a nanny for a while to my new nephew...

I'm getting a bit of my life story (That I am writing a book on) in another book this year!! Along with a poem. I started a comic with a friend on smackJeeves.com called A Novel Life   but it is not doing so good my Artist is very busy with her own life right now. Very understandable.... 


Other then that, I am trying to  loose weight and be more self disciplined when it comes to things like cleaning and working on my books.... What about you?? What have I missed recently??

Do Fairy Tales Come true?

Back In Action!

Hello My Dear Friends,

I am so sorry it has been a while almost three months since I have posted any news or really worked on my books. You see.. My family and I have been hit with a lot of things. Finances; Vehicle troubles; My baby sister's new baby; Hose work, errands, re- doing my room (yes - after a year it is still a work in progress); Romance problems; The Swine Flu; Misunderstanding with a few Friends, and of course some Deaths: A Friend, My Grandpa, and then Our dog.

*sigh* I have been meaning to write I started a few journals but I didn't know what to say and to be honest I really didn't want to write.. I was doubting my dreams. Thinking about all the things I have wanted to do and does't seem to be happening. I am 28 single for three years, no children.. I have 4 cats, 1 bird, my and my 2007 nitro... I watch my nephew five days a week, and pet and house sit when I can.

I have been so wrapped up in not having what I really want (A Husband, yes I like some one. I need to get the courage to tell him.) And not doing anything worth wile ~ in a while.  I forgot all I need to do is get off my ass and do something, anything, and write! So the past three months I have been doing just that. Getting things done at my Church, helping my family and my friends more,  however doing every thing except what really needs to be done: writing and finishing my room..

The good news is: We (my family- we all live together) are getting a new puppy as soon as he is old enough next month!! Our church Life group is going well, I have a steady flow of money again, I am exercising again, I am keeping up with the chores, I have new determination, and most of all - Conner is taking 1 long nap a day where I get time to write now! Woot!! Praise God!

So this month coming I promise to write more and to get my ass in gear and finish my room, well at least get it as close as I can to an office till I can afford new tile and paint.. I got a new door this weekend!! Thats a start!!!

I am still hoping I can find an artist to turn my books into comics as I write them, of course I would share the royalties, but no one has had the time because most the authors I like have a busy life right now as well.. I think I will hold a contest in a month or two as I get more of my main books done..

Again I am sorry I have been away, though I don't really think I have any serious fans yet... If you read this, thank you!

God bless you today and always!

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!

2a. I made my posts here of my books privet. Since they are really bad and since I re-wrote them. I just have to get around to posting them. Word and net don't cooperate well and I just don't have the time right now to play with it..

3a. My Desk top crashed, and I can not get word to work when I had it fixed.. Only  my Game Sims 2 will work. (Not complying to much about that)

4a. I have very little  time to write currently,  but no where to write.. 


The Good news:


1b. I have a new site.. But it is Blank still.

2b. The newly re written chapters are sooooo much better!
I can not wait to share them!! I wish I knew an artist who would

3b. I have word on my lap top FINALLY, the most basic one, I am saving for  2007
student though...

4b. My sister is due to have a baby so my time  has been crazy and my room (where
I write for now)  is a huge mess because I have been helping get hers done and keeping
the house clean while
they work. Plus I am going to the gym more and out with a friend.

5. And there is this Man I admire and wish I could be his wife, who has inspired me beyond the inspiration I got from
Scot McNiel (No offense hun) I will never for get you. Which has helped me get a better grasp on what I want for my books and how to better aproce the problems... 

I STILL NEED A BETA reader.... To catch my errors where I miss. My friend who was doing it now works full time and has a child to watch over,. If interested please coment.

Now I must get back to the house chores and ect....  Thank you new friends!!!

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!!

A-Chan

I am so excited…

I am so excited…

 

I have had a web page for a while now, it was the best I could do with no web host. But now I have "hired" a web master who has been working on a new one for me. It isn't anything special but it has a lot more to it.. And when it is done it will be awesome!!! I can do so much more with the site then I could with my old one, and no more pop-ups!!!

 

I will along with my book work, I will have my store and my crafts posted there for you to see and for me to sell.. I will let you all know when it is done.. I am so happy!!

 

 

I have been working on my books more and am finally getting over my recent writers block.. I am pleased with how my book is coming along nicely and I can't wait for you all to be able to read them.. I am sorry it is such a slow process but I want to make sure they are good and since it is my first I am a extra picky.. ^_^  

 

Take care and Happy April Fools Day!!!

Your never too old

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!!
