So the old wise tale says if you dream about eating Licorice it means you are longing for your childhood again. Which totally makes sense cuz licorice is what EVERY kid wants right?
Well lately I've been revisiting mine via cartoon. I was watching Robotech and Voltron.
Robotech is an 80s cartoon detailing 3 alien invasions to Earth. The first season was AMAZEBALLZ USA. There's a love triangle between pilot Rick, singer Lynn Minmei, and flight controller Lisa. It's so amazing you dont' realize you're watching 36 episodes. Then the second season changes it all. All new cast and storyline. I didn't connect and stopped watching. Didn't make it to third season. It's pretty violent too which is weird that I didn't notice it as a kid.
Voltron is AMAH-ZING! I heart love j'adore it. It's about 5 robot lions that form Voltron Defender of the Universe. Voltron is a robot that has a multitude of weapons and a blazing sword he creates from smashing his lion hands together. SERIOUSLY the most violent, best written cartoon of the 80s. People die. Robots are desicrated and there's a slight love story. Also oddly enough first time a twin cousin was introduced haha.
Already watched entire series of Jem like 3 times. Next up is Thundarr the Barbarian and Herculoids. Oh and Beverly Hills Teens! Cannot wait.
I think it's a good thing to revisit happy memories of your childhood as an adult. keeps you remembering it wasn't all bad. :)
This is Emmy Morgan's blog about TV, movies, music, and a little bit of her personal life :)
the one where I remember the good
So Julia Roberts has this line in "Pretty Woman" that she says to Richard Gere "Ever notice how the bad stuff is easier to remember than the good?"
I spent two nights this week up till 4am editing my book (I added 100 more pages and revised the original). Alot of my life is IN the book, but not enough that it's exact. But some stuff got in there and it made me think of the good stuff.
Woke up today nostalgic about my life. Yes the bad stuff was bad (and everyone has it), but I have SO MANY great memories.
School: I was teased by like FIVE people, but it wasn't EVERYONE! I am still talk to alot of my high school friends on a regular basis. These are peeps I've known since I was in 4th grade!!!!
Friends: I grew up in this place called Pheasant Hill Village. Picture townhouses on top of each other. A basketball court. A playground. A swimming pool. Grass was mowed. Apts maintained on inside. And there were kids my age there so we all hung out and played together. The majority of these kids are still my friend today. And it all started on September 1, 1985 at a rubber band fight outside hahaha I walked right up. Said hi. And got shot in the head with a rubber band by my friend Jose! haha To this day I have around me new friends that I adore.
These people and this experienced shaped me as a person. I cannot believe how fortunate I was to experience it :)

the one about marketing vs. truth
So I have come to realize there's a fine line between marketing my book and getting personal.
Last week I hit the ground running. Going into independent bookstores talking about displaying my book, emailing and tweeting about my book. I even paid for an ad on Facebook which has so far done great. But I feel like an exposed nerve. Read this:
This is not about marketing. I created this out of desperation for my situation. Then why do I feel exposed? I guess I have always tried to keep and restrict my personal life to my small select circle of friends. But in many regards I see this petition as my ticket out. I don't care about selling millions. That's for another strategy. This is immediate to get me out of where I am. And I hate being that person that does that. I literally paced for ten minutes after posting that. I still don't know how I feel. But if I am asking for help like Larry said then I should be honest why I need it.
Let's hope this situation resolves itself sooner rather than later!

the one about winning
So I've been very focused on what my dreams and goals are lately. One major goal is getting my book sold. I want it to sell millions. In the past 24 hours I have pimped this book like you wouldn't believe...with Larry's help. I've honestly never worked so hard on something. We were blast emailing, posting, and tweeting for 4 hours. I didn't go to bed till 2am!
I know I should be content with writing and publishing the book. But I'm not. I want it to be a huge success. I wanna stop working my 9-5 and start on my career in film/TV like yesterday!
(prays)
I did get it up and running on iBookstore...IN EUROPE AND FRANCE! Ugh what a letdown. It's also on the Nook. Then I went and sent my press release to a TON O magazine and book editors. GRRR something better happen soon hehe
