Hello Lovely People,
I hope all is having a wonderful start to the weekend. I will do The Adventures of Editing Part 2 next Friday, but today I decided to the characters tag. I hope you enjoy it.
1. A crazy hacker’s gone into your computer, and has deleted all of your music, except for one song off of your writing playlist. Which song is it?
Well I haven't done playlist in a while thanks to a fellow writer Kim Chance, I listen to music scores now, but I did use to have one for Entrapment, so for that I would say 'Super Girl' Krystal Harris or 'Get Up & Go' by Alana D. I know it said one I chose two.
2. Your protagonist and antagonist have been paired up by friends to go out to lunch together. Where do they go?
The Sprincx (a restaurant near Avalon Academy)
3. You’re crossing a bridge when the troll living under it stops you. He demands to read a chapter from your novel, and won’t let you cross otherwise. Which chapter do you give him?
The Prologue or Chapter 19 I can't decide.
4. Your friends have invited you out to a party. Surprise! All of your characters are there. Who do you choose to hang out with?
Jane because she loves books as much as I do, and she has become one of my favorite characters to write
5. Crap. You left your car keys in your house, and you’ve (somehow) locked yourself out. Which of your characters picks the lock for you?
Alicia, Yasmine, or Bren aka Ezra most likely.
6. The zombie apocalypse is happening right now. (It sucks.) Everyone is fleeing the planet, and moving to Mars. ONE of your characters can go with you. Who do you choose?
Alicia that's a given.
7. You’ve been given the opportunity to travel to one place (town, building, landmark, country) in your book. Where do you go?
Valhalla Preparatory School of course.
8. You meet your main character and start a conversation with them. Problem is, you’ve only got six words or less to do so. What do you say?
Don't forget to remain calm.
9. Crazy acid rain is falling from the sky. Which of your characters would you use as an umbrella?
Yvonne most the only one that can protect me from she is the water elemental after all.
10. You’re out at a restaurant with your main character, and the time has come to order dessert. What do you order for them?
Ice cream sundae with bit sized cupcakes. Sasha has a secret obsession with cupcakes...shhh
**Passing to all writers that have not done it yet you should it is fun**

The Summer Quarter Revealed!
Hello Lovely Beautiful People,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and you are having a great summer. I am so grateful for all the wonderful things that has happened this past year and all that I have accomplished by setting goals and achieving them. Alot took place I am surprised I accomplished so much actually, but somehow it got done. With school my situation at home, looking for permanent work I am truly amazed grateful and I feel very blessed. I originally started setting up weekly goals, but I noticed that I wasn't getting much as I would like to done, and I came across Jenna Moreci (author of Eve The Awakening) vlogs. She has become one of my new favorite authors, anyways I liked her vlogs and subscribed to them. One vlog day she had quarterly goals I thought that was cool, and maybe I should try it, but I hesitated thinking that a 3 month goal system might make me lazy and prolong it, so I waited then the next quarterly recap to do it or the one after. When I finally did it the first quarter I completed a little less than half, but after that the more I kept doing them I was I noticed I was able to get more and more done. To take it a step further in my phone I have it set so that weekly I check my quarterly goals to make sure I am staying on track. So it has worked really well for the most part. So Thanks & Shout Out To Jenna for sharing the Quarterly goal idea on her vlog. So now I have I have decided to implement them in my blogs as a post quarterly.
Finish finals, Check On Graduation Requirement, Graduate, Job Hunting, Apartment Hunting. complete Entrapment Extended Edition, Complete Eden's Journey, Complete Blind Knight Amarah Chronicles Prequel, Complete My Falling Stars, Research Imprints, Hire someone to do logo for imprint or create my own, figure out ways to help indie authors and get us more exposure. Make writing and acting full time career. 💜

Independence Day! Author's Tag
Hello Lovely People,
Happy Soon To Be Independence Day! I hope everyone will enjoy their 4th of July and any other exciting plans they have this weekend. I been going through changes alot, and in a chaotic environment, but that is in the mist of changing. Thanks to Kim Chance, an author I admire I decided to participate in the author/writers tag and answer a few questions about myself that some people may have wanted to know.
What do you eat or drink while writing?
I would prefer to eat vanilla bean scones and a caramel frappe with chocolate drizzled on top from Starbucks. If I can't do that I would prefer green tea or any tea with Heath bar/Symphony bar (blue) or Whopper candy or just sparkling flavored water with the candy/Heath bar. On special occasions I will do Ferrero Rocher.
What do you listen to while writing?
I originally did songs that reflected the theme in the book. Thanks to Kim Chance for introducing the thought of film scores while writing. I love it they often help me through writer's block now.
Check It Out! This One Is My Favorite! It's a blend of many.
Film Score
What is your biggest distraction?
Probably the chaos that's going on around me until I move, which will be soon. My other distraction is my favorite tv shows like I recently did a Gilmore Girls marathon. Now I am doing this old cartoon I watched when I was a kid that I loved called Fillmore. I also surf the web, but its mostly for research purposes if its not my favorite anime or manga. Anime/Manga/Reading Books are great distractions when I have writer's block though because it helps me figure out where I went wrong and it's also fun.
Worst thing that has happened to you while writing?
When I did the complete story board & first scene in my first ever screenplay and lost the whole thing. And another is I misplaced all the background information on my characters for Entrapment a while back scariest thing ever, but I eventually found it.
What is the best thing that ever happened to you while writing?
Writing Entrapment and starting my own literary imprint, LitArtistry Press and registering it which I will be giving more details about later.
Who do you communicate with while writing?
I do not communicate with anyone anymore during the writing process other than leaking excerpt of chapters. I am an introvert so it a little difficult with groups of people, but I am good with one on one conversations, but I am slowly overcoming that.
What is your inspiration? What makes you productive?
I get inspiration from everywhere, but most when I am reading or checking out my favorite authors and what they are up to, it motivates me to keep going and I remember why I wanted to be a writer. I think: I need to get busy. One way I get productive is when I realize how much I have done and how much I want to complete. Another time is, I call it the Euphoria moment when ideas overflowing in my head I need to get them out before I loose them. Now I have a vault file for story ideas. Well I am thinking of setting up a reward for myself after draft is completed to motivate me even more. Reward: A pint of pistachio ice cream...lol Yum :-) it has become my new ultra favorite ice cream besides moo-llennium crunch, birthday cake, and bunny tracks ice cream.
What do you or other writers do that really annoy you?
I annoy myself when I overthink things and my perfectionist side comes in and/or self doubt kicks in. I am learning to master my thoughts though. I also annoy myself when I double post because some social media sites are interconnected I also hate that I am can get anxious at times, but I appreciate all my flaws. One thing that annoys me about what other writers do is that some are judgmental or overly critical when they are not perfect themselves, but other than that I love writers they are awesome!😉
**I post chapters or excerpts when I can...soon I will release full Chapter 19: forbidden.**

Hello My Lovely People,
Good Afternoon, I hope all is well. I've been busy coming up with ways I can improve myself as a writer as well as treating writing as business since I want to do write books and screen plays long term. I am thinking of ways I can connect with readers more on a broader scale as well as help my fellow indie writers reach broader audiences, reviews, and promote their work. I have also been working trying to close many of my open projects.
As you may know I will soon be releasing Entrapment the expanded edition that will include brand new chapters. For those who have been keeping up with me on tumblr or not, but I posted an unpolished sneak peek of the beginning of Chapter 19 Forbidden. I have a special treat for you....a more polished edited sneak peak. Click the link below. Tell me what you think via tumblr or retweet #Forbidden #Entrapment @missraquelle. For more updates keep staying locked on Raquelle's radar.😊

Surprises Are Coming! Surprises Are Coming!
Hello My Lovely People,
I hope all of you are having a lovely week! Sorry for the late Friday postings I've had a crazy few weeks, but things are getting back on track. As some of you may know who keep up with me on social media I have been busy. I am currently work on three book projects. I am working on Eden's Journey, I am modifying anthology Rhythm of the Garden and changing the title to Keys of the Garden, and I am extending my book Entrapment with 7 brand new chapters. With that being said I am launching all of these under my new literary imprint. More details on that will be revealed a later date. I have not forgotten about Morayne's Arrow or Pages of an Hourglass I will be working toward their completion after current works in progress are published. So stay locked in on m social media radar. 😊

The Greatest Things In The World
Hello Beautiful People,
Good Afternoon, today is a time in which we take time of remembrance to those who died in the armed forces. I would like to see today as a day of healing and thanks as well. I appreciate the things that have been done for me the 26 years I have lived to see. So many times through out the week or day we complain and become unappreciative because things don't go our way or things just not going right in our lives that day or that week. We should remember to be thankful if we wake up to see, smell, touch, feel, taste, and breathe.
For every moment we are are alive with healthy body and in our right frame of mind with all our senses in tact and functioning that alone is something positive that we can appreciate out of each day, every week, every month, every year that is not promised to any of us, but is the greatest thing that we should always remember. Stife, un-forgiveness, jealousy, fear, regret, should not be welcomed in to the days you have.
Life is too precious. I struggled with un-forgiveness for a longtime and sometimes still do. Then I remember that I still have life and though its not perfect or where I want to be I am alive, so I have another day to do what I love and go after my dreams. So healing, patience, thanks are top priorities in relation to my end goal. I think in times like these and on a regular bases healing, patience, and thanks should be practiced. Love the life you are given and strive for your best self in this life that is the legacy of those who died I feel want to leave behind in striving for our peace.'

Happy Memorial Day!
