M.A Grace's Blog

So for those who don't know I only post really long post about sending you to other places on this blog. Normally they are post that are just too long for Facebook and have to many links to other places to be put on one of those other places.
So here goes nothing! Warning: I did say this was a long post.
First let me give you a bit more info about me.
I am an introvert. I don't handle crowds very well. I don't handle gatherings for very long. I like the online business because I can hide behind my computer screen.
I also am a jump first think second type of person. I can plan things out all day every day but when it comes to jumping in or following the plan I always jump first. I'm great at helping others and developing organized well thought out step plans but I am Horrible at following them myself. That also goes for advice too. I can give you great advice all day long but I am really bad at following my own advice.
Because of the above I find myself in a sea of chaos, stress, late deadlines, and chasing my tail most the time. Again I can help others get structured, organized, etc but I am bad bad bad at following my own teachings. I don't do plans, schedules, or routines very well.
I have my hands in a lot of different things all at one time. I juggle too many hats most the time and have a problem of passing any on. Even tho I opened up to add employees to the Literary team I still can't seem to diligently give out task to be done. I also do the #1 thing you should NEVER do... I compare myself to others and always always find myself coming up short in the compare chart. I am never as good as anyone else. I'm sure I am doing something right I just can't see it.
I am also that person who goes off on vacation and buys everyone but myself something. I tend to put other people before myself often. I will even buy my husband a candy bar and a drink before I will buy myself deodorant. Its that bad. I have a huge heart and I care about helping others. Helping other people is my passion and is why I do what I do. I always want to give others something. Advice, knowledge, crafts, etc. There is always someone else getting help as the driving force behind things I do.
So that is just the tip of the iceberg about info about me... So onto this long blog post.
I have 17 different blogs/facebookgroups/facebook pages that I have. I also have 24 subscription based newsletters/magazines that I run. I also have a full time job as a pharmacy tech. I also am an author under 2 different pen names with over 50 WIP's on my computer (6 published books).

So here is a list of blogs/Groups/Pages/Subscriptions that I have that you can sign up for!

Politics. Really Politics are one of those things that can tear a family apart. Did you speak to your Uncle Bob since before the election? What about third cousin sally sue? We believe what we believe and we stand strong behind that belief and if you don’t believe that well sorry but you’re just wrong. This is my take on the current selections. I don’t take one side or the other. I read the information for myself from multiple sources (because lets face it every party owns a few news sources). The newsletter includes current issues, thoughts presented, and so on. Sometimes I probably will go off on a rant about how the next generation is being brought up in insanely stupid ways. But anyway it will mostly be USA National news. Because I only live in one state and if you don’t live here you don’t care whats going on here.

History has always been my favorite subject. So naturally I went into a science and English field of work lol. But seriously I love history and learning about history.

Tornado Seal of Approval started as a blog to review dog toys because my dog would go through those ‘unbreakable’ toys like they were paper. It was going to be fun and humorous to see how many toys he could demolish. Well shortly after the idea sparked some personal things happen (Divorce) and me and my dog found ourselves moving. Fast forward to now… we currently now have 3 dogs, 4 cats, 1 parrot, 1 tarantula, and 1 bearded dragon. We are hoping to be able to get a few more birds, fish, red crabs, ball python, anole, chameleon, scorpion, and a few more pets along the way. The newsletter with this includes reviews of animal toys, treats, foods, and more. Plus fun treats to make your fur kid. And sometimes even contest.

2017 THE NEW YEAR OF NEW ADVENTURES
As 2017 rounds the corner I am here to point you into the direction of why you originally even followed this blog. I have moved all my old content to WordPress. As blogger has been a lovely base for me and showed me much love I have had one or two issues with them. One of which is they deleted a blog and wiped away two years of blog post for no reason and would not answer me when I tried to find out why they did it. 

So WordPress is where I went... and as I went I decided that my blogs would branch out into their topics instead of one blog of mix match. This way people get what they want to follow instead of someone getting notice I wrote a blog post about something they don't really care about. I would absolutely love if you'd please go over and follow the blogs on WordPress. 

Each blog has its own set of facebook and twitter links if you're interested in following it on those sites as well.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

With  the new year comes new adventures and new surprises. We will have failures and success over the course of the next 365 days. Actually this is leap year so I think that gives us 366 days. Not 100% on that. Anyway, with that being said my new years starts with me saying goodbye to Blooger and hello to WordPress.

Don't get me wrong. Blogger has been good to me and easy and I've seen HUGE success with building my follower base. I was never a consistent enough blogger these past years (especially the last two years I let life pull me away from them for almost the whole 2 years) but I am want to venture over to WordPress and see why so many SO MANY of my friends seem to prefer it and all this talk about you have more to do with Wordpress and blah blah blah.  Also I may hold a small grudge on Blogger because they deleted one of my blogs for no reason and would never respond to emails about why or how to get it back. So losing 2 years of blogging (that I did do constantly) and a business that I worked at least 16+ hours 7 days a week on kinda broke my heart. Yes blogger has the right to delete your blog for no reason at all Facebook deleted and locked the account for the same business on the same month because Facebook didn't like people using Profiles for businesses and if your name didn't seem like a real name you could verify with a drivers license (yes they asked me to scan in a jpeg of my drivers license to keep my business profile) then they deleted you :( It was a very very heart breaking and sad month last year when it happen. But i am taking it as a sign from the universe that I needed to be approaching my business differently so here I am in 2016 with plans and a new slate.

Okay so I would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE if you all would come over to word press and follow my blogs over there. Yes I say blogs because I've branched out this blog into the many blogs I was incorporating into it and setting my blogs up for the many different niches to reach. That way if you want to read my blog about Books and authors but not about Gaming you can follow my book blog and ignore the games blog. Etc.

Hey everyone!

Okay well I've recently been doing some serious thinking and I've come up with the idea that I finally have decided i will be switching over to WordPress from blogger. It is nothing against blogger. This place is great. All of you are great and I hope you all will come follow me on WordPress as well.

I also have decided to break my blog out into more direct focus.

I have the following blogs and their links....

I really hope to see you all over there and I hope to get yall some new content to look over soon. Im excited about the change and taking this excitement and running with it.

Hi Everyone,

I know I keep falling off the face of the earth but this last year well it sent me for a really rough time. So glad 2014 is OVER!!! Between a divorce, a new relationship, moving 3 times, a company going bankrupt, and a few more things that happen that made the year keep moving along it is now 2015 and new goals with new plans are in action.

First off to all of you wonderful subscribers who have stayed with me through these years of coming and leaving and coming and leaving. I'm revamping my blogs.

Author/Writing stuff with continue to be here on The Story Of A Girl...

Video Gaming and geeky nature stuff with be on my gamer blog at: http://gamingdarkenscorpio.blogspot.com/

Turning the Pages has shut down for now but will hopefully be able to return again in the future.

I am in the process of redoing my Author Platform as well. So that being said expect to see some releases this year as I re-edit and re-publish my previous books and my books that are well over due for release.

I also need some beta readers and people willing to read and review the books once they release. Email or leave me a comment if you are willing to do either one.

I also am working on setting up a blog for dog toys. I want to start doing blogs about how fast my dog Tornado and or Twister can go through the 'undestroyable' toys that are out there.

So what are your 2015 plans? Let me know what you are wanting to accomplish this year.

Creeper(Minecraft Pc & Xbox)









Creepers are common hostile mobs that use a suicide-style attack: They approach players and then explode, causing massive damage to players, entities, and blocks within a short radius.
Creepers spawn in the overworld at night, and in locations with a light level of 7 or less, just like most other hostile mobs. However, unlike Zombies and Skeletons, Creepers will not catch fire in sunlight, and those spawned in darkness will continue to roam in daylight until they perform an attack, are killed, or despawn.
Creepers are especially dangerous due to their near-silent approach, save for light footsteps and an occasional rustling noise. A Creeper will warn the player moments before it explodes with an infamous burning fuse noise. If the player can manage to move far enough within about one second of this noise, the explosion will be canceled, and the creeper will attempt to approach again.
Creepers run from cats and ocelots, and will ignore the player to run away when a feline is too close. As cats can be acquired and controlled by the player, this provides an important avenue of defense from Creeper attacks.
Creepers have become notorious and infamous among Minecraft players for their infuriating habit of sneaking up on the Player to inflict devastating damage following an all-too-short warning sound. They have arguably become the most recognizable image from Minecraft, as well as the game's unofficial mascot.

Bowser(From Mario)








Bowser, sometimes known as King Koopa, is the main antagonist of the Mario series and the King of the Koopa. He has repeatedly kidnapped or attempted to kidnap Princess Peach and take over the Mushroom Kingdom. He has on other occasions attempted to conquer the entire Mushroom World, as well as the entire universe. Despite his villainous nature, he has occasionally helped the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom against common threats and participates with them in their numerous sporting events in spin-off games.
Since his debut, Bowser has been in nearly every Mario game, including the main series, spin-offs, and crossovers. Due to his role as the primary villain of the Mario series, he is mostly the final or penultimate boss in his appearances, if not as the main antagonist (an example being Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga). In the Mario RPGs, Bowser is generally cast as an antihero or a minor villain, with the exception of Paper Mario, Paper Mario: Sticker Star, and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.\

Alec Trevelyan (006)(From the N64 game Goldeneye)








GoldenEye 007 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Rare and based on the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye. It was exclusively released for the Nintendo 64 video game console on 25 August 1997. The game features a single-player campaign in which players assume the role of British Secret Intelligence Service agent James Bond as he fights to prevent a criminal syndicate from using a satellite weapon against London to cause a global financial meltdown. The game also includes a split-screen multiplayer mode in which two, three, or four players can compete in different types of deathmatch games.
GoldenEye 007 was originally conceived as an on-rails shooter inspired by Sega's Virtua Cop, before being redesigned as a free-roaming shooter. The game received highly positive reviews from the gaming media and sold over eight million copies worldwide, making it the third-best-selling Nintendo 64 game. GoldenEye 007 is considered an important game in the history of first-person shooters for demonstrating the viability of game consoles as platforms for the genre, and for signaling a transition from the then-standard Doom-like approach to a more realistic style. It pioneered features such as atmospheric single-player missions, stealth elements, and the incorporation of a console multiplayer deathmatch mode.
GoldenEye 007 was followed by a spiritual successor, Perfect Dark, also developed by Rare for the Nintendo 64. A reimagining of the game, also titled GoldenEye 007, was published by Activision and released for the Wii and Nintendo DS in 2010, and later re-released as GoldenEye 007: Reloaded for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 the following year.

(My new bookmarks front/back I got done by Blue Harvest Creative)






 In Feb 2012, I published my first book. A poetry book. It contained around 70 something poems in it I believe that I had collected over my growing up years. Poetry was a way for me to escape in my emotions. And I had been told by numerous teachers to publish it. So I finally did.










Shortly after that in April 2012 I published my first fictional novel, I've got you covered. Me and my friend Tyler had been working on this story line for probably a good 6-8 years. Stopping and restarting it. Finally we had enough for 1 book that turned into 2 books come fall 2012 and three books come spring 2013. And now come Fall 2014 will finish up the story with book 4.








While walking my Indie journey I started doing book reviews for other Indie Authors. I not only got to read some amazing stories I made some really awesome friends this way as well. So in my review journey I started Turning The Pages. It was a small idea that has continued to grow. Turning the Pages started as a simple Magazine for Indie Authors to have their stuff published and shown to the world. Just another spot for them to be seen in. Because exposure is a big key in the Indie world.








My journey is only 2 years old. But I have accomplished SO much in that 2 years its amazing to me. Me a little back woods country girl from Western North Carolina with a degree in Medical Office.

Feb 2014 I published a novelette that I have plans to turn into a full novel in 2016. This Novelette sparked the interest for my Season's of Love collection that will include 4 books.

I've got a good amount of stories still left in me that I plan to publish over the next few years. My rough draft plan for these is as followed, but keep in mind it is a rough draft and could be subject to change....


2014


~ February:  Fields of Summer (Contemporary Romance Novelette) ~ April:  Baby Dragon's Sound (Children's Book)~ June:  The Black Rose (Paranormal Adventure Romance)~ September:  Out of Time (Book 4 in the Blazing Charm Series)~ December:  Dixie Raised (Women's Lit) 


2015~ Whispers on the Wind (Fantasy Adventure)~ Never Escape Home (Mystery Adventure)~ Courts of Fall (Season's of Love Collection)  ~ First Class Private Moonlight (Military Romance Suspense)


2016~ Fields of Summer (Novel version; Season's of Love Collection)~ Mountain Home (Tribute to my Father (RIP); Historical Fiction)~ Unicorn's Rainbow (Children's Book) ~ War Painted (Romance) ~ Family Favorites (CookBook)


2017~ Seven Deadly Sins (Horror)~ Presents of Winter (Season's of Love Collection)~ Chips, Fame, and Heartbreak (Contemporary Romance)~ 18 Holes of Murder (Murder Mystery) ~ No Title Yet  (Historical Romance) 

2018~ Flowers of Spring (Season's of Love Collection)~ H2O: Hopping To Oregon (Comedy Adventure)~ The Flower (Horror, Murder, Psychological ) ~ Mary-Phobia (Novelette; Mystery)

~ Paw Detective: The Lost Slipper (Children's Book)


So that is the next 5 year plan, well 6 year plan if you count this year... But as you can see each year is full of great stories I want to share with you and no I don't have a specific Genre I write. I do tend to have the Young Adult/New Adult age characters in my stories though. And I am always adding more story ideas to my list. I think I actually have a plan all the way into 2025 but I haven't checked recently enough to confirm that but its somewhere back there.


As for Turning the Pages it continues to grow. Hosting Events online and now in person. Running not one but a couple of magazines and continuing to find things to piddle in. Including now we are even making custom swag for authors.


The future is bright and full of amazing things still yet to come.
