Chris Weiz Director New Moon Alice Cullen Bella Swan Edward Cullen Idea Girl Consulting the idea girl says







Chris Weitz is the director for Twilight New Moon

Ashley Greene plays the part of Alice Cullen

Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) talk about Bella's dive off a cliff where everyone assumes that she has committed suicide, even Edward Cullen.

I went to see Twilight New Moon last night at 11:30 pm, it was only a 2 hour movie and I wished it had gone a little longer.

The ending was expected and you get an idea of exactly what Eclipse will be about.

It will be interesting because the characters are so young in age, how they evolve into the "adult life."

I love how Bella Swan and The Volturi have a face off and they find out she is "gifted."

Dakota Fanning plays an evil vampire that can cause pain and poor Edward Cullen is tossed about and you're expecting him to snap his neck or something?

Vampires must be tough, and flexible, you'll know what I mean when you see the last few scenes of the movie.

I have posted a movie review on The Idea Girl Says.

Neo Metal - Heavy Metal Music - Slipknot - Headaches


Headaches is a cool heavy metal band that I found while looking up Beauport , Quebec.

I love their voices, the guitar playing is amazing and I think this band should be signed up with a music producer!

I'd like to see some of their music in the movies.

I think they will sell a lot of records with the right amount of promotion.

They definitely will appeal to teenagers around the world.

They sing tribute music to Slipknot but I think their voice and music quality is ten times better!

Headaches can be viewed on Idea Girl Consulting Word Press

Nanowrimo - tips on writing your 50,000 word count novel - Research Climate and Seasons






I find each day when I sit down to type up my notes, I start with a fresh page.

I add a header and number, and I've divided my novel so far into 5 parts.

Which tells me that I wrote it in 5 days.

I also keep a record of the amount of time it took me to write the manuscript and to type it.

Just so I have an idea that if I type for 4 hours I should come up with 8,000 to 9,000 words.

But the problem is all the errors.

My typing is very poor when I'm rushed.

All I wanted to do was get the story typed.

Now I have to go back and try and make sense of the words that are missing letters.

For some reason my keyboard letter "e" sticks and is hard to press down.

At the end, I also gave up with my "" marks and Capital letters.

While doing the notebook I was flipping the book back and forth and putting a check mark after each page that was typed.

Today I left the book opened, so that I could type 2 pages at a time.

Then I saved it, and did my 2 check marks.
I found this easier and faster.

I typed 9,000 words in about 3 hours.

So it actually saved me a whole hour.

I have to do some research on Los Angeles California , so I got a travel guide book from the library.

I'll look up the names of some tourist attractions and restaurants.

Then i'll go online and check the hours, the menu's and days that they are opened or closed.

This is important to know, especially if you're characters are in the winter time, but where they visit isn't opened in the winter, then this will discredit you as a writer.

It's important to do your research and know several things.




What is the average temperature of the city your writing about?.

If it's in the fall and they average 8 degrees Celsius, then your character will want to wear a jacket or a sweater.

It's also good to know when certain seasons begin in certain areas, and to know what events take place during those times.

Use this information to entertain your characters.

Have them attend the local festival.

Describe what they see, what they do, how and what they eat.

It will make them more human and your readers will connect better with something they can relate to.

Idea Girl Consulting Word Press




Just a note to let everyone know that I changed my blog title from Idea Girl Consulting - The Idea Girl Says to Idea Girl Consulting Word Press.

I also added Word Press to The Idea Girl Says.

Now both titles will match their URLS.

Simple, the same as my URL and it's how I've referred to it in numerous comments, posts and tags.

Google will pick up my site faster now, with all three things being the same.

At least that's what Search Engine Optimization writer's say.

I changed the name of my blog before, it was called Idea Girl Consulting's Blog.

After changing the name and the picture, I lost a couple thousand readers. :)
I don't know what happened but it's slowly been going down from 1,000's per day to around 400 hits.

It could be that some of my articles (Twilight, New Moon , Miley Cyrus and Michael Jackson) were hogging all the hits.

I noticed that not every one of my articles get any readers.

Today I was looking at an article about Blogs that get published.

Mine is all over the place, and that's why they say it's important to find your niche and stick to it.

Problem is that I'm a Gemini and I love changing stuff constantly.

I should use that to my advantage.

The Calamity Girl Visits Tucson Arizona



My fictional character Rachel Tornquist goes to Tucson Arizona and stays at the Niner Way Ranch.
So I decided to create a website about the ranch.
It's 12,000 sq feet and just gorgeous!
It's located in Oro Valley, in Tucson Arizona at the La Cholla Airpark.
Imagine having a 4500 ft runway attached to your property, so you can just fly out at any time.
It's a millionaire's paradise and Rachel and Michael are visiting there for a week.
They also go into the local towns and visit some of the places there.
The Cactus Moon Cafe, is a fun place to go and Rachel wants to learn how to line dance.
You can also do some shopping - Tour guide books for Tucson, Arizona, saddlebags and cowboy boots, just in time for Christmas!

Meeting Goals - Writing - The Calamity Girl - Rachel Tornquist - Michael Ferraras






I'm happy to announce I've managed to type of 28,677 words for the new chic lit - The Calamity Girl manuscript.

I found out today my nanamo is actually now called nanowrimo.
All these different abbreviations.

I had fun doing research about New York City, Tucson Arizona and Los Angeles California this week.

My character Rachel Tornquist is travelling with Movie Producer Michael Ferraras, and things are heating up between the two.
Michael wants to make a committment, Rachel likes her freedom.

Will she lose Michael when she brushes off his offer to be  a committed couple?

Rachel is so used to dating anybody she wants, and she enjoys being single.

No hang ups.

She will have to decide whether she cares enough about Michael to build a love nest with him, or she'll be like a lovely bird and fly away.\
