What’s New?
If you’d been keeping up with my posts, then you’ve heard that I have been having a horrible time formatting the final copy of The Fairytale Keeper: Avenging the Queen. Yesterday, I bit the bullet and sent it off to a formatting company and what a weight was lifted of my shoulders! I should have the final copy in a week. No more ARC’s though. (Sorry bloggers!)
When I sent the final copy off, I thought I’d start picking up some of the books I’ve been dying to read, but nope. The characters started having conversations in my head and the writing bug has bitten again. Now I’m off to rewrite the beginning of the second book in The Fairytale Keeper series. Wish me luck!

FAIL: Microsoft Office
My Rant to Microsoft and Why Any Writer Should Avoid Office Like The Plague
To whom it may concern:
I just thought you should know how incredibly disappointing your products are. I’m an author and have done the research to completely format my novel, but I’m going to have to pay someone else to do it for me because of the nightmare I have lived for the past two months trying to work with Microsoft Word.
This isn’t a problem with my personal computer, just so you know. I have tried formatting this doc on four different computers with Microsoft Word 2007. All have managed to mess up the page numbers by insisting that there are two even pages in a row. What is wrong with your programming that would make this happen no matter how many times I reformat this? I have used different docs, different computers and nothing works.
Last year, when I bought my PC, I wanted it because I wanted Microsoft Office, but I will never buy another PC and I will never buy Office again. EVER! This program has been nothing but problems. It is Apple from here on out. Their customer support is amazing and my husband’s Mac has never had a virus issue and his docs have never failed him before. I will make sure to let everyone I know know that Microsoft is a poor investment for anyone who wants a decent word processor and to go with Mac.
Thanks for nothing,
Andrea
Which Disney Princess Were You?
I’d love to know which Disney Princess you are! Belle, Cinderella, Aurora, Snow White, Jasmine?? Since my book is based on the Snow White tale, most might think I was a Snow White. Nope. To find out which Disney Princess I was dubbed and how that affected me when writing The Fairytale Keeper: Avenging the Queen, check out my post on Christy’s wonderful YA blog, Captivated Reading
