I have always wanted to write a novel, but when I site down to write it, my thoughts go faster then my hands and I miss all the good stuff. It’s very annoying and I usually give up after a while, but I have decided that maybe I will try again after takeing Dragon’s typing speed test! This test proved to me that I can really use this product to write a novel, in fact I’m thinking of using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for NaNoWrimo or National Blog Writing Month where you write a novel in one month. I don’t think I could do it on my own, but if I use the Dragon program I may have a chance and actually do something I have been wanting to do since I was a freshmen in high school.

This program is great but it does cost money and I always spend time researching a product before I buy it. I have been looking at Dragon Reviews to get an idea of what others think about it and so far I have to say it all looks great. This would really be useful for me anyway even after trying to write that novel so it would be a great investment that I could use for more projects, like blogging and school papers. This would really save me some time and I would be able to spend more time on my design projects and looking for a job for when I graduate. If your interested you can also take the test I took and then pick up your copy. I’m planning on getting the one for a PC as that is what I have, but they also have a Mac version for those of you who have one of those.

It’s said that people who read a lot may avoid having memory loss as they get older. So I have decided that I really need to get back into reading. I use to read all of the time. I would read books over and over, now though I find that I want to read new things so I think it’s time to place a large order of Amazon books since I have read almost everything I want to read in our local library, its not very big.

Reading though I think is good for everyone to get into I know many people don’t like it because they can’t read well, but like anything else practice makes it easier. Reading even comic books or magazines are a great way to start. You don’t have to read a huge book to get the benefits of reading. I figure even a daily reading of the newspaper should be enough to help hold off memory loss. I figure what is picking up a book going to hurt?

I have always wanted to write a book and publish it. I don’t’ think though that I could ever write a book that was good enough for people to actually want to read, let alone some publisher to actually publish, but I have thought about creating some recipes that are healthy for diabetics or publishing a small interior design tip book to sell on my blogs. I still don’t think I could get anyone to do it, but now I don’t have to worry about as I can do it myself.

Yes it’s going to cost me, but I think Self Publishing is the way to go and I can do it very easy on wordclay.com. You do have to register on the site in order to do this, but that makes sense right? They have to know who you are in order to publish you. Anyway not only do they offer publishing but they offer help on graphic design, and marketing your book. Personally I’m not worried about marketing it. It would just be a link on my blog and you would have to order by paypal. Not a big deal, but if your looking to really get out there, they should be able to help you. The site over all is very easy to use and is one of PC Magazines site of the week so you know it’s a website you can trust. So what are you waiting for, go write that book and send me a copy!

I have always loved writing. I have tons of stories in my head about different people, subjects and events. I have started a few books, but have never finished them. Either I lose interest or I am told you will never be able to do anything with it anyway. I do keep trying though. I started this great fantasy but I can’t seem to put it onto paper the way I see it in my head so I probably will start something else. Maybe I’ll write a romance novel or something.

Apparently there are ways to beat the system and get your book out there and maybe even on the New York times best seller list. Yep there is a way.  John Kramer has come up with a way to make you a New York Times Best Selling Author. You can use the information in his teleseminar to achieve what you may not have been able to before.

I’m interested in this information. I don’t know if I’ll ever finish a book to use it, but who knows maybe I will.

I had a weird set of events this week. I decided that I was going to read, so I picked up a really good book of fiction the The Da Vinci Code and started reading. Keep in mind this is the 5th time I have read it. So yesterday I sit down and what is on the history channel, another favorite of mine, but shows about the book.

This is a very controversial book and I understand why. It changes everyones thinking, but we do have to remember it is a work of fiction. Having said that. What would be so bad about Jesus being married. Personally I think it would be cool and would actually fit in with the times. Jews married, that was the point of living, get married have kids populate the world. I’m not saying I believe it actually did occur, I need more proof for that, but at the same time I have always said the bible is written by men, god did not send us the bible. He may have spoken to people, but man decided what went into it.

So who is to say they didn’t want to keep it a secret that Jesus was married? They may have they may not have. We don’t know, but what we do know is that the customs of the day show it is possible. As I said I think it would be cool and it would make him seem not so out of reach of society. Right now I know many who are atheist who have told me the reason they are is that they don’t believe in Jesus, they do think there could be a god figure. The problem with Jesus is, he’s too perfect, it’s not possible to be that perfect.

 They also go on to tell me that they feel they need to be a perfect person to be in any religion, this is why I have said before that extreme Christan’s need to shut up and leave these people be. They do drive them away. But with these new theories people are asking questions. It does make me wonder if the Apocalypse is just a change in thinking and that maybe we will learn a truth or two. If it’s that Jesus was married so be it, but it could also be something else. There are endless possibilities.
